BIOLOGY 1010 AUBURN TEST 1
(KEARLEY) EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Homeostasis - ANS Stable internal operating conditions within the body
Example of Homeostasis - ANS Body temperature
What are the functions of the integument? - ANS 1. Protection from abrasion bacterial
attack, UV radiation, and dehydration
2. Helps control internal temperature
3. Sensory receptors detect environmental stimuli
What are the layers of the skin? - ANS Epidermis ( Stratum basale, stratum corneum) dermis
Epidermis - ANS Dead cells and living cells (several layers)
Stratum Basale - ANS Innermost layer of the epidermis that are mitotic and contains
melanocytes which darken the skin and protect against UV rays
Stratum Corneum - ANS Outermost layer of the epidermis; consists of flattened dead cells =
keratin
Dermis - ANS Layer found beneath the epidermis; mostly connective tissue (composed of

body
2. Support and protect underlying tissues and organs

Hyaline Cartilage - ANS tracheal rings, end of nose, end of sternum, and in the articulating
joints
Elastic Cartilage - ANS External ear
Fibrocartilage - ANS Found in intervertebral disks
Compact Bone - ANS Found outside of the bone
Osteocytes - ANS (Bone cells) Found in the compact bone and housed in spaces called
lacunae (no space between osteocyte and lacuna)
Haversian System - ANS Are found in the compact bone and are composed of concentric
circles called lamellae
