Part II. Fill in the Blanks. Using the terms provided, complete the following statements: Albinism Cyanosis Carotene

Blue color Melanocytes Tan
_(60)_ is a brown-to-black pigment responsible for most skin color. It is produced by _(61)_ in the stratum basale, and is distributed to other epidermal cells. Melanin production is determined by genetic factors, hormones, and exposure to light. A mutation that prevents the manufacture of melanin is _(62)_. Increased melanin production in response to ultraviolet light results in a _(63)_. The _(64)_ of tatto-, os, bruises, and some superficial vessels is due to the light-scattering effect of overlying tissues. _(65)_is a yellow pigment found in plants such as squash and carrots. When large amounts of this pigment are consumed the excess accumulates in the stratum corneum and in fat cells of the dermis and hypodermis, causing the skin to develop a yellowish tint. Blood flowing through the skin produces a _(66)_. When blood flow increases (e.g., blushing) this color intensifies. A decrease in the blood oxygen content of blood produces a bluish color called _(67)_. Congenital disorders of blood vessels in the dermis produce _(68)_.

Coxa
Each _(69)_ is formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis. The superior margin of the ilium is called the _(70)_, and an _(71)_ is located at each ilium’s anterior end. The _(72)_ is the socket of

ATPs Heat
Action potentials in skeletal m uscle are initiated in the cell membrane 75. _____________________ and travel along _(75)_. When the action potentials reach the _(76)_, 76. _____________________ they release Ca ions. The Calcium ions bind to _(77)_ and cause at77. _____________________ tachment sites on actin myofilaments to be exposed. Actin myofila78. _____________________ ment bind to myosin myofilaments to form _(78)_. Bending of the 79. _____________________ myosin heads of the cross bridges moves actin myofilament over the 80. _____________________ myosin myofilaments. This is called the _(79)_. The bending of the 81. _____________________ myosin heads requires the breakdown of _(80)_ for energy, and in 82. _____________________ the process _(81)_ is released causing an increase in body temperature. Muscle relaxation occurs when calcium ion are transported into the _(82).
Action potentials Perilymph Endolymph
Oval Window Basilar membrane Vestibular membrane
Auricle Tympanic membrane Hair cells
Sound waves in the air are collected by the _(83)_ and conducted by the external auditory meatus to the _(84)_, which vibrates. The vibrations are transferred by the auditory ossicles to the membrane of the _(85)_ which vibrates. This produces vibrations in the _(86)_ of the scala vestibuli. The vibrations of the perilymph cause a membrane, the _(87)_ to vibrate. The vibration of this membrane causes the _(88)_ of the cochlear duct to vibrate, which in turn causes another membrane, the _(89)_ to vibrate. The spiral organ of Corti rests on this membrane, and as the membrane moves, it cause the _(90)_ of the spiral organ, which are embedded in the tectorial membrane to bend. The bending of the hair cells results in the production of _(91)_ that are conducted to the brain through the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve.
Anterior pituitary horm ones Estrogen & progesterone Increase
Menstrual cycle Ovaries Testosterone
The main hormone produced by the testes in the male is _(92)_. It is responsible for growth and development of the male reproductive structures, a(n) _(93)_ in muscle size and body hair, voice changes, and sex drive. In the female, _(94)_ contribute to development and function of female reproductive structures and other female sexual characteristics. The female _(95)_ is controlled by cyclic release of estrogen and progesterone from the _(96)_, and the secretion of these hormones, in turn, is controlled by _(97)_.
