This image is a "Skin Worksheet" designed to test knowledge of the integumentary system. The task is to label the skin structures indicated by leader lines and brackets, and then color-code them according to a provided legend.
The worksheet has already been completed. All the structures are labeled with their correct anatomical names, and they have been colored according to the key on the right side of the page.
Here is a breakdown of the solution based on the provided legend:
-
Arrector pili muscle (colored orange): This small muscle is attached to the hair follicle and causes the hair to stand up when it contracts.
-
Adipose tissue (colored pink): This is the fatty tissue found in the hypodermis (subcutaneous layer), which provides insulation and energy storage.
-
Hair follicle (colored purple): This is the structure from which hair grows, extending from the epidermis down into the dermis.
-
Nerve fibers (colored blue): These are the nerve endings that provide sensation to the skin.
-
Sweat (sudoriferous) gland (colored cyan): These glands produce sweat to help regulate body temperature.
-
Sebaceous gland (colored green): These glands secrete sebum, an oily substance that lubricates the skin and hair.
All the labels in the diagram correspond correctly to the structures shown, and the colors match the legend. Therefore, the problem has been solved correctly as presented in the image.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of the skin worksheet answers.
