What are the two parts of the integument? | Cutaneous Membrane(skin)/ Accessory Structures |
What are the general functions of skin? | Protection/ Excretion/ Maintenance/ Production/ Synthesis/ Storage/ Detection |
What kind of epithelial tissue is the epidermis? | Avascular stratified squamous |
What are the most abundant cells of the epidermis? | Keratinocytes |
What are the five layers of the epidermis? Know what order they occur in, from deepest to superficial. | Stratum Basale: attch to base membrane/ strong bond btwn epidermis and dermis/ epidermal ridges/ Dermal papillae/ basal cells or stem cells |
What are the five layers of the epidermis? Know what order they occur in, from deepest to superficial. | Stratum Spinosum: Division of stratum basale/ 8-10 layers of keratinocytes/ cells shrink/ divides=increases thickness of epith. |
What are the five layers of the epidermis? Know what order they occur in, from deepest to superficial. | Stratum Granulosum: Stops dividing, starts producing/ Keratin & Keratohyalin |
What are the five layers of the epidermis? Know what order they occur in, from deepest to superficial. | Stratum Lucidum: clear layer/ found only in thick skin/ covers stratum granulosum |
What are the five layers of the epidermis? Know what order they occur in, from deepest to superficial. | Stratum Corneum: horn layer/ Exposed skin:15-30 layers or kera cells/ water resistant/ shed and replaces every 2 weeks. |
What are thick and thin skin? Where is each found? | Thick: Covers palms and soles/ 5 layers of keratinocytes Thin: Covers most of body/ 4 layers of keratinocytes |
How long is the life cycle of a cell, from the stratum basale to the time it is shed? | 1-1.5 months |
Which two pigments influence skin color? Which contributes the most? | Carotene/ Melanin (most) |
Why is sun exposure necessary for the body to produce vitamin D? | Converts VD into calcitriol. Aids absorption of calcium and phosphorus |
Where is the papillary layer of the dermis? What kind of tissue is the papillary layer made of? | Has papillae(ridges) projecting between epidermal ridges/ Made of areolar tissue |
Where is the reticular layer of the dermis? What kind of tissue is the reticular layer made of? | Has dense irregular connective tissue/ Made of collagen and elastic fibers |
Where is the hypodermis? What kind of tissue is the hypodermis made of? | Subcutaneous Layer/ Elastic, areolar, and adipose tissues |
What are the functions of hair? | Protects and insulates |
How do “goose bumps” happen? | Certain stimuli to the Arrector pili |
What are the functions of sebum? | Contains lipids/ Lubricates and protects the epidermis/ inhibits bacteria |
What are nails made of? What is the primary function of nails? | Made of dead cells packed with keratin/ protect fingers and toes |
Understand the steps of repairing the integument. | Bleeding occurs/ mast cells trigger inflammatory response/ scab stabilizes and protects area/ macrophages clean area/ fibroblasts and endothelial cells produce scar tissue. |
What are five primary functions of the skeletal system? | Support/ Storage of Minerals and Lipids/ Blood Cell Production/ Protection/ Leverage |
Be able to identify the shape of a bone based on a picture or description. | What is the function of sesamoid bones? |
What is the function of sesamoid bones? | Provides leveralge and tension increase force of joints |
What is the central space of the diaphysis called? | Medullary Cavity |
What two substances give bone matrix its incredibly strong properties and why? | two thirds calcium phosphate crystals/ one third protein fibers(collagen) |
Is bone made up mostly of matrix, or mostly of cells? | Matrix |
Know the names, functions, and locations of each type of bone cell. | Osteogenic Cells: Stem cells divide to produce osteoblasts/ Assist in fracture repair |
Know the names, functions, and locations of each type of bone cell. | Osteoblasts: Immature bone cells that secrete matric compounds/ Osteoid/ Calcium binds to osteoid to calcify and harden the matrix |
Know the names, functions, and locations of each type of bone cell. | Osteocytes: mature bone cells maintain the bone matrix/ Live in lacunae/ Are btwn layers(lamellae) of matrix/ Do not divide/ Maintains protein and mineral content and helps repair bone |
