Integumentary System
Chapter 5 Anatomy & Physiology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The skin and it appendages (Hair, nails, Skin glands) are collectively know as the | Integumentary System |
| the outer most layer of the skin that consists of stratified squamous epithelial tissue, is called | Epidermis |
| the inner deep layer of the skin that is composed of connective tissue, is called | Hypodermis |
| Finger-like projects that extend upward from the dermis is called | Papillae |
| Beneath the skin is a layer of subcutaneous tissue called the | Hypodermis |
| this layer is also know as the stratum germinativum | Stratum Basale |
| in the layers of the epidermis, the innermost layer is called | Stratum Basale |
| in the layers of the epidermis, the outermost layer is called | Stratum Corneum |
| new arriving flattened cells are called | Keratinocytes |
| these replace the dead cells that flake away | Keratinocytes |
| A tough, fibrous protein that replaces the cytoplasm and nucleus in each cell | Keratin |
| scatter throughout the basal layer of the epidermis are cells called | Melanocytes |
| melanocytes produce a substance that accumulates in the cells of the epidermis called | Melanin |
| A reddish pigment is called | Pheomelanin |
| Brown-Black pigment is called | Eumelanin |
| A deficiency of oxygen in circulating blood, that result in you skin having a blue tint to it is called | Cyanosis |
| Yellow discoloration to the skin and whites of the eyes is called | Jaundice |
| a golden brown skin color | Bronzing |
| extremely pale skin, white hair, and pink eyes | Albinism |
| Abnormal redness of the skin | Erythema |
| Pale skin | Pallor |
| Bluish, black, or yellowish mark on the skin | Bruise |
| part of the hair that extends above the skin is called the | Shaft |
| each hair lies within a sheath of epidermis called a | Hair Follicle |
| the lowest part of the hair where growth occurs | Hair bulb/root |
| at the base of the hair is a cluster of connective tissue and blood vessels called the | Papilla |
| excessive hair lose is called | Alopecia |
| a type of hair lose that is mainly in men who have High levels of testosterone | Male Pattern Baldness |
| the fold of skin that surround the nail body is called the | cuticle |
| the visible part of the nail is called the | Nail Body |
| the crescent shaped white area at the base of the nail is called the | Lunula |
| the layer of epithelium under the nail is called | Nail bed |
| the proximal end of the nail that's hidden underneath overlaying tissue is called the | Nail Root |
| this gland is widespread throughout the body, but are especially abundant on the palms, soles, forehead, and upper torso. | Eccrine Glands |
| this gland produces Sweat! | Eccrine Glands |
| these glands open into the hair follicle and secretes an oily substance called sebum | Sebaceous Glands |
| this helps keep hair and skin from drying out and becoming brittle | Sebum |
| this gland is mainly located in the axillary and anogenital regions | Apocrine Glands |
| these are scent glands that respond to stress and sexual stimulation | Apocrine Glands |
| these glands are found in the ear canal | Ceruminous Glands |
| the wax in our ears that we refer to as "ear Wax" is called | Cerumen |
