Question | Answer |
---|---|
functions of the skin | protective, sensory, makes active V D, identiviation/social communiction |
layers of the skin | epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat |
layers of epidermis | stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale |
major cell population (80%), immune function | keratinocyte |
derived from neural crest, same number in all races, also found in hair follicles, brain, and eyes | melanocytes |
antigen presenting cell in the skin | langerhans cells |
layers of dermis | papillary, reticular |
most of the dermis is made up of the | reticular dermis |
layer of the dermis that contains blood vessels, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and muscles, sweat glands | reticular dermis |
types of sweat glands | eccrine, apocrine |
type of sweat gland involved in thermoregulation, found all over the whole body | eccrine |
type of swear gland involved in scent, found in axilla, genitals, ears, eyelids, mammary | apocrine |
cells of the dermis | fibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages |
cell of the dermis that synthesizes collagen | fibroblasts |
cell of the dermis that has many IgE receptors on their surface, cause hives | Mast cells |
means net like | reticulated |
lesion that looks like a coin | nummular |
flat (non-palpable), alteration in color, size is 1cm or less, | macule |
a large macules (>1cm) | patch |
raised (palpable), size is 1cm or less, color can vary, | papule |
a pearly papule with telangiectasia is probably | basal cell carcinoma |
is a large papule >1cm | plaque |
dark brown, waxy papule | seborrheic keratosis |
raised and filled with clear fluid, size is 1cm or less | vesicle |
a large vesicle >1cm | bulla |
dew drops on a rose petal | vesicles on an erythematous base (chicken pox) |
raised (palpable), circumscribed collection of inflammatory cells and free fluid, variable in size | pustule |
raised solid, often round, deeper than papule, size is 1cm or less | nodule |
a large nodule >1cm | tumor |
skin lesion formerly known as hive | wheal |
firm, edematous papule or plaque, fluid filled but fluid is bound, flat-topped elevations, transient in nature, type I hypersensitivity reaction | wheal |
secondary skin lesions | scale, crust, erosion, ulcer, fissure, atrophy |
secondary skin lesion formerly known as scab | crust |
collection of serum, blood, or pus | crust |
focal loss of epidermis, heals without scarring | erosion |
focal loss of epidermis and dermis, heals with scarring | ulcer |
linear crack (occurs following lichenification) | fissure |
erosions from scratching | excoriation |
enhancing of lines already in the skin | lichenification |
Flat brown spots with sharp borders on dorsum of hand | Lentigines |
Erythematous, dome-shaped nodule with central plug | Keratoacanthoma |
Pearly papule with umbilicated center | Molluscum contagiosum |
Sexually active person w/ rash on palms & soles, general LAD | Secondary syphilis (Money spots); VDRL will confirm |
layers of the skin | epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat |
layers of epidermis | stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale |
derived from neural crest, same number in all races, also found in hair follicles, brain, and eyes | melanocytes |
antigen presenting cell in the skin | langerhans cells |
layers of dermis | papillary, (mostly) reticular |
layer of the dermis that contains blood vessels, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and muscles, sweat glands | reticular dermis |
types of sweat glands | Eccrine (thermoregulation), apocrine (scent: in axilla, genitals, ears, eyelids, mammary) |
cells of the dermis | Fibroblasts (synthesize collagen), mast cells, macrophages |
Dermis cell: has many IgE receptors on its surface, cause hives | Mast cells |
flat (non-palpable), alteration in color, size is 1cm or less: | macule |
a large macules (>1cm) | patch |
raised (palpable), size is 1cm or less, color can vary: | papule |
large papule >1cm = | plaque |
