Answer:

A. The dermis lies anterior to the epidermis.

Explanation:

The "Skin" consists of <u><em>three layers:</em></u>

<em>1. Epidermis</em>

<em>2. Dermis</em>

<em>3. Subcutaneous Fat</em>

They are arranged accordingly, which means that the "dermis" lies beneath the epidermis. Therefore, it lies "posterior" or <em>at the back of the epidermis</em>. "Anterior" means<em> "front."</em> The dermis is definitely not anterior to the epidermis. <u>This makes choice A as not a characteristic of the dermis.</u>

<em>Choice B is a characteristic of dermis</em> because the dermis consists of<u> many blood vessels</u> and<u> three types of connective tissue</u><u><em>s</em></u><em> (collagen fibers, elastic fibers and reticular fibers). </em>

<em>Choice C is a characteristic of dermis </em>because it also consists of the<u> lymph vessels, nerves and accessory organs.</u>

<em>Choice D is a characteristic of dermis</em> because the dermis consists of two distinct layers, a superficial layer <em>(papillary dermis</em>) and a deeper layer <em>(reticular dermis). </em>

What can you eat that is healthy
babymother [125]
Good question!

Healthy foods are key for having a healthy body. If you feed your body properly now, you will have a much lower risk of health issues down the road. Like I like to say, I don't want to be taking medicines when I'm old, for something I could've prevented when I was young.

But let's get to the question!
Things that are healthy for you are:
1. Fruits & Berries - Some of the better tasting healthy foods, these fruits are easy to eat and you can make smoothies with them and sneak some bitter greens in. (You won't even taste them.)
2. Eggs!
3. Chicken Breast - chicken is good for leading a healthy lifestyle. Low in fat and calories but high in protein. (Just grill or bake them, don't fry.)
4. Nuts and Seeds
5 Vegetables - Vegetables are packed with nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. Things like carrots, celery and kale are good in smoothies with fruits, because  the fruit will mask the taste if you don't like them. These aren't optional to a healthy diet.
6. Seafood - seafood is great for you. They are especially rich in in omega-3 fatty acids and iodine, two nutrients that most people don’t get enough of.

Foods like these are not optional to a healthy diet. You can not eat them, but you will have more pimples, be more tired, weak, and pasty. Having these nutrients gives your body a healthy glow.

The main theme of these foods is to eat as close to nature as you can. The more processed and GM the food is, the worse it is for you.

A is the answer, because if she burns another 501 add up all the calories are and subtract all the calories burned. She lost 1 calorie which is 1 calorie less then what she had at the beginning of the day. Hope this helped!
