resulting in the complete muscle contraction
Anterior (Ventral) - ansToward the front
Apocrine gland - ansWhich type of gland loses small portions of glandular cell bodies during secretion?
Apocrine glands - ansSweat gland that causes odor when metabolized by bacteria, becomes active at puberty,
and are activated when emotionally upset, frightened, or in pain.
appendicular skeleton - ansPart of the skeleton that pertains the the upper and lower limbs and their girdles

blood vessels that supply the skin.
Areolar tissue - ansWhat is the name for the connective tissue that forms delicate, thin membranes that binds
the skin to the underlying organs and fills spaces between muscles? (type of connective tissue)
attached to the sternum, clavicle, and mastoid process - anssternocleidomastoid
