ONION EPIDERMIS INTRODUCTION An eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures (organelles) enclosed within membranes. Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include: A large central vacuole a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast which maintains the cell’s turgor (provide structural support) and controls movement of molecules between the cytosol

Laboratory Exercises in Microbiology‚ Fifth Edition Front Matter Preface © The McGraw−Hill Companies‚ 2002 PREFACE Take interest‚ I implore you‚ in those sacred dwellings which one designates by the expressive term: laboratories. Demand that they be multiplied‚ that they be adorned. These are the temples of the future—temples of well-being and of happiness. There it is that humanity grows greater‚ stronger‚ better.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a gram positive bacterium that when looked at under a microscope it appears to be a cluster of what looks like purple circles. This shape is known as cocci. When grown on a TSA plate‚ Staphylococcus aureus appears to be yellow to opaque in color. S. aureus is known as one of the most resistant bacterium to multiple antibiotics and considered the most pathogenic. Everyone is susceptible to S. aureus with one way of transmission being from foods such as chicken

Foodborne Illness Short Answer Questions Staphylococcus • What is the infectious agent (pathogen) that causes this infectious disease? The pathogen that causes Staphylococcus is called Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is also called Staph and is abbreviated to S. aureus or Staph aureus in medical literature. S. aureus is a bacterium that causes various infections. Staph is a commonly found on the skin and also in mucus membranes (mostly the nose and throat) of up to 25% of healthy

Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the most prevalent microorganisms found on the human skin and in the mucous membranes‚ however‚ it is a typically overlooked bacterium because there is very little that is known about it. Though it is not as aggressive as its cousin Staphylococcus aureus‚ Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequent cause for nosocomial pathogens‚ especially among newborns‚ the elderly‚ and anyone who has a compromised immune system. These infections are usually associated

the three layers (epidermis‚ dermis‚ subcutaneous tissue) is not part of the integument? Answer: Subcutaneous tissue 3. The dermis has two main layers. Which one of these is the most superficial? Answer: Papillary layer 4. What is the most common connective tissue in the dermis? Answer: Collagenous fibers 5. The release of heat from the body by blood vessels occurs in what main layer of the integument? Answer: Dermis 6. Which stratum is the deepest layer of the epidermis? Answer: Stratum

contains the epidermis‚ which is the farthest layer of skin‚ it provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis‚ beneath the epidermis‚ contains tough connective tissue‚ hair follicles‚ and sweat glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue‚ which is the hypodermis‚ is made of fat and connective tissue. In the the epidermis most of the cells are keratinocytes‚ they come from the deepest layer of the epidermis and with time makes its way to the surface of the epidermis. Keratinocytes
