🗑
Appendage   The hair, nails, and skin glands  
🗑
Areola   Small space; the pigmented ring around the nipple  
🗑
Arrector Pili   Smooth muscles of the skin, which are attached to hair follicles; when contraction occur, the hair stands up resulting in “goose flesh”  
🗑
Basement Membrane   The connective tissue layer of the serious membrane that holds and supports the epithelial cells  
🗑
Blister   Fluid filled skin legion  
🗑
Bursa   Small cushion-like sacs found between moving body parts, which make movement easier  
🗑
Cutaneous Membrane   Skin; Primary organ of the integumentary system  
🗑
Cuticle   Skinfold covering the root of the nail  
🗑
Dermal-epidermal Junction   Junction between the thin epidermal layer of the skin and the dermal layer providing support support for the epidermis  
🗑
Dermal Papilla   Upper region of the dermis that forms part of the dermal-epidermal junction and forms the ridges and grooves of fingernails  
🗑
Dermis   The deeper of the two major layers of the skin, composed of dense fibrous connective tissue interspersed with glands, nerve endings, and blood vessels; called “true skin”  
🗑
Eccrine Sweat Gland   Small glands distributed over the total body surface  
🗑
Epidermis   False skin; outermost layer of the skin  
🗑
Follicle   Specialized structures required for hair growth  
🗑
Freckle   Small brown or red macules that are a common genetic variant of normal skin pigmentation  
🗑
Hair Follicle   Small tube where hair growth occurs  
🗑
Hypodermis   The loose ordinary tissue just underneath the skin and superficial to the muscles  
🗑
Integument   Another name for skin  
🗑
Integumentary System   Hair, nails, and skin glands as an organ system; the skin  
🗑
Keratin   Protein substance found in hair, nails, outer skin cells, and horny tissues  
🗑
Lanugo   The extremely fine and soft hair found on a newborn infant  
🗑
Lunula   Crescent-shaped white area found under the proximal nail bed  
🗑
Meissner's Corpuscle   A sensory receptor located in the skin close to the surface that detects light touch  
🗑
Melanin   Brown skin pigment  
🗑
Melanocyte   Specialized cells in the pigment layer that produce melanin  
🗑
Membrane   Thin sheetlike structure with an important function in the body  
🗑
Mucocutaneous junction   The transitional area where the skin and mucous membrane meet  
🗑
Mucous Membrane   Epithelial membrane that lines the body surfaces opening directly to the exterior and secrete a thick, slippery material called mucus  
🗑
Mucus   Thick, slippery material that is secreted by the mucous membrane and keeps the membrane moist  
🗑
Pacinian Corpuscle   A receptor found deep in the dermis that detects pressure on the skin surface  
🗑
Papilla   Small, nipple shaped elevations  
🗑
Parietal   The walls of an organ or cavity  
🗑
Perietal Peritoneum   Serious membrane that lines and is adherent to the wall of the abdominal cavity  
🗑
Parietal Pleura   Serous membrane that lines and is adherent to the wall of the thoracic cavity  
🗑
Peritoneum   Large, moist, slippery sheet of serious membrane that lines the abdominopelvic cavity  
🗑
Perspiration   Transparent, watery liquid released by glands in the skin that eliminates ammonia and uric acid and helps maintain body temperature; also commonly known as sweat  
🗑
Pigment Layer   The layer of the epidermis that contains the melanocytes that produce melanin to give skin its color  
🗑
Pleura   The serious membrane in the thoracic cavity  
🗑
Pore   Pinpoint-size openings on the skin that are outlets of small ducts from the eccrine sweat glands  
🗑
Sebaceous Gland   Oil-producing glands found in the skin  
🗑
Sebum   Secretion of sebaceous glands  
🗑
Serous Membrane   Found only on surfaces with closed cavities; composed of two distinct layers of tissue  
🗑
Stratum Corneum   The rough outer layer of the epidermis; cells are filled with keratin  
🗑
Stratum Germinativum   The innermost of the tightly packed epithelial cells of the epidermis; cells here are able to reproduce themselves  
🗑
Subcutaneous Tissue   Tissue below the layers of the skin; made up of loose connective tissue and fat  
🗑
Sudoriferous Gland   Glands that secrete sweat  
🗑
Synovial Membrane   Connective tissue membrane lining the spaces between bones and joints that secretes synovial fluid  
🗑

🗑
Visceral peritoneum   Serous membrane that covers and is adherent to the abdominal viscera  
🗑
Visceral Pleura   Serous membrane that covers and is adherent to the lungs  
🗑
