Question | Answer |
Epithelial membrane | composed of epithelial tissue and an underlying layer of specialized connective tissue |
Connective tissue membrane, or Glossary synovial membrane, | example of connective tissue membrane, and it is found lining the spaces between joints and bones. |
serous membrane | only on surfaces within closed cavities |
lamina propria | located in underlying mucous membrane |
membranes | Thin, sheetlike structures that cover and protect the body surface |
two major types of body membranes | epithelial, connective tissue |
peritonitis | Inflammation of the serous membrane in the abdominal cavity |
parietal pleura | serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity |
mucous membrane | Epithelial membranes that line body surfaces opening directly to the exterior |
keratin | tough, waterproof material that protects the outer layer of the skin |
melanin | The basic determinant of skin color |
synovial membranes function | line joint capsules, secretes lubricant fluid, line small sacs(bursae) |
dermal papillae | upper region of the dermis is characterized by parallel rows of tiny bumps |
lanugo | hair of a newborn infant is soft and fine |
Sweat glands Classification | eccrine, apocrine |
functions of the skin | protection, sense organ activities, temperature regulation, excreation |
sebum | secretion from hair follicles that helps lubricate the hair and skin |
subcutaneous Tissue (hypodermis) function | insulation of extreme temperature, source of stored energy, shock absorber for underlying tissue |
Superficial fascia | name for hypodermis by Anatomists |
arrector pilli | structure that causes "Goose pimples” |
Epidermis, Dermis | skin layers of tissue |
stratum germinativum | tough keratinized layer of the skin |
eccrine sweat glands | most numerous, important, widespread in the body |
apocrine sweat glands | found under armpit (axilla) and pigmented skin areas around genitals. |
serous membrane structure | 2 layers, simple squamous epithelium, connective tissue layer, gluelike basement membrane |
cutaneous membrane (skin) | has superficial layer of epithelial cells and underlying layer of supportive connective tissue |
pleura | serous membrane for thoracic cavity |
peritoneum | serous membrane for abdominal cavity |
parietal layer | forms lining of body cavity |
visceral layer | covers the organs found in cavities |
epidermis | skin structure thin sheet of stratified squamous epithelium |
dermis | deeper layer; largely connective tissue |
pigment layer | stratum germinativum, pigment production Melanin, melanocytes |
Nails structure | Nail bed, nail body, cuticle, Lunula, free edge |
vitiligo | patchy areas of light skin, loss of epidermal melanocytes |
reticular layer | deeper area of dermis, filled with a dense network of interlacing fibers, |
subcutaneous tissue | hypodermis; not layer of skin, loose fibrous and adipose tissue. |
birthmarks | (pigmented) developmental malformation of dermal blood |
birthmark type | strawberry hemangioma, port-wine stain, stork bite. |
hair follicle | epidermal tubelike structure , required for hair growth |
hair papilla | hair growth starts here |
hair root | hidden in follicle |
shaft | visible part of hair |
Fingerprint | Dermal papillae |
Follicle | Hair |
Tinea | fungal infection |
Little moon | Lunula |
Keratin | waterproofing |
Sebaceous glands | secrete oil or sebum, for hair and skin |
Pleura | Epithelial membrane |
Perspiration | Sudoriferous sweat glands |
common type of skin cancer | squamous cell carcinoma, Basal carcinoma, Melanoma |
squamous cell carcinoma | most common; characterized by hard, raised tumors |
Basal carcinoma | characterized by papuls with a central crater; rarely spreads |
Melanoma | malignacy in a nevus, mole most serious skin cancer |

Stratum corneum | also known as outer epidermis. Tough keratinized |
dermal papillae | upper dermis layer Finger prints |
Epidermis layer | stratum basale; Spinosum; Granulosum; Lucidum |
Stratum Basale | also Stratum germinativum; growth layer |
Stratum granulosum | Epidermis granular layer |
Stratum lucidum | Epidermis clear layer |
Stratum corneum | referred to as the "barrier area" and is the most superficial layer of epidermis) |
superficial | being at, on, or near the surface: |
papillary layer | forms bumps, called Dermal papillae, that project into the epidermis |
reticular layer | contains dense, interlacing collagenous and elastic fibers that make the skin tough, yet stretchable. |
Sudoriferous | Perspiration |
Dermis & epidermis | mayor layer of skin |
where to find Keratin at skin | outer layer |
Acne, scab, warts, non genital herpes vesicles | elevated Lesion |

Synovial membrane | type of connective tissue membrane |
Serous membrane | found in closed body cavities |
parietal layer | lines the walls of body cavities, much like wallpaper. |
visceral layer | covers the surfaces of organs found in body cavities. |
