| SKIN | |
| Epidermis | What we see with our eyes, composed of stratified squamous epithelium. |
| Epidermis Layers | |
| Stratum Corneum (horney layer) | 20-30 rows dead cells, protect skin against abrasion and penetration, glycolipids between its cells barely waterproofs this layer. |
| Stratum Lucidum (clear layer) | Thin translucent band just above stratum granulosum, 2-3 rows of clear, flat, dead keratinocytes. |
| Stratum Granulosum (granular layer) | 3-5 cell layers, produce keratohyalin, lamellated granules. |
| Stratum Spinosum (spiny layer) | Several cell layers thick, mostly tension-resisting bundles of prekeratin filaments, polyhedral shaped keratinocytes with spiny projections (8-10 rows), langerhan cells and processes of melanocytes. |
| Stratum Basale | Deepest epidermal layer, mostly stem cells which divide to produce keratinocytes, melanocytes, and merklel cells. |
| Dermis | 2nd major skin region, strong, flexible connective tissue, binds entire body together, Cells: fibroblasts, macrophages, white blood cells, matrix with collagen, elastic and reticular fibers. |
| 3 Layers of the Dermis | |
| Papillary Layer | Areolar tissue with many blood vessels and elastic fibers. Dermal papillae Indentations into epithelium. Free nerve endings, meisseners corpuscles. |
| Reticular Layer | Thicker 2nd layer, dense irregular connective tissue with collagen, elastic and reticular fibers, fibers allow for extensibility and elasticity, Krause corpuscles, ruffini corpuscles, collagen fibers align in a direction called lines of cleavage. |

| Pili (hair) | Flexible strands produced by hair follicles and consist of dead keratinized cells. |
| Regions | 1. Shaft 2. Root |
| 3 Layers of Keratinized cells | 1. Medulla 2. Cortex 3. Cuticle |
| Hair Follicle | Fold down from the epidermal surface into the dermis. Deep end of follicle forms a hair bulb, around each nerve is a sensory nerve ending called hair follicle receptors or root hair plexus Arrector Pili. |
| Types of Hair | |
| Vellus hair | Fine hair found on children and adult females. |
| Terminal hair | Coarser, long hair of eyebrows and scalp, often darker. |
| Hair Disorders | |

| Male pattern Baldness | Genetically determined, sex-influenced condition. |
| Glands | |
| Sebaceous glands | Secrete serum made of fat, cholesterol, protein and salts to keep skin supple and inhibit bacteria. |
| Sudoiferous Glands | Sweat is composed of apocrine sweat glands in groin, axilia, and areola, merocrine glands produce watery perspiration to cool body on palms, soles, and forehead. |
| Ceruminous Glands | Found in lining of external ear canal, forms sticky substance called cerumen (ear wax). |
| Wound Healing | |
| Healing of Abrasions | Basal epidermal cells break contact with basement membrane. Cells enlarge and migrate until they meet. |
| Contact Inhibition (stops growth of cells) | Migration stops when in full contact. Basal stem cells now divide to form new cells. 24-48 hours healing. |
| Deep Wounds 5 Phases | |
| Inflammatory Response | Formation of clot of fibrin threads. Vasodilation to bring white blood cells to fight infection. |
| Migratory Phase | Clot becomes scab, epithelial cells migrate to bridge the wound. Fibroblasts travel along fibrin and form scar tissue of collagen and glycoproteins. Damaged vessels repair. |
| Proliferative Phase | Growth of epithelial cells, formation of collagen fibers. |
| Maturation Phase | Scab sloughs off, collagen is organized, fibroblasts decrease in number. |
| Remodeling | Scar tissue collagen is more dense, fewer blood vessels, and may not have sweat glands, hair or sensory neurons. |
| Burns | Tissue damage inflicted by intense heat, electric, radiation, and certain chemicals. |
| First Degree Burns | Only epidermis damaged, localized redness, swelling and pain, heals in 2-3 days. |
| Second Degree Burns | Injure epidermis and upper region of dermis. Mimic 1st degree burn, blisters appear. heals in 3-4 weeks. |

| Anaplastic Cells | Not normal/harmful |
| Lack of contact inhibition | Cell doesn't know when to stop reproducing. |
| Function of Kidney | |
| Blood | Filters the Hazardous nitrogenous wastes in our blood caused by the breakdown of proteins such as creatinine and urea. |
| Water | Reabsorbs water loss during filtration. |
| Wastes | Concentrates and removes wastes in liquid form (urine). |
| Layers of Kidney | |
| Renal Capsule | Thinner innermost layer protects kidney from infection. |
| Adipost | Cushions and holds kidney in place. |
| Renal Fascia | Outermost layer anchors in place to body wall. |
| Cortex | Outer reddish area forms columns. |
| Medulla | Inner region of kidney forms pyramids. |
| Pyramids | Triangular structure composed of medullary tissue. |
| Papillae | Structure at base of pyramids connects to calyces. |
| Columns | Between pyramids made of cortical tissue. |
| Calyces | Collect area for urine. |
| Pelvis | Large cavity that collects urine and leads out into ureter. |
| Bladder and Sphincter | |
| Urinary Bladder | Expandable sac with receptors. |
| Internal Sphincter | No control, empties around 200-400 ml of urine. |
| External Sphincter | Voluntary override; |
| Ureter Tubes lead to the bladder | Gravity and pressure controlled. |
| Urethra | Tube to the external environment. |
| Nephron | |
| Cortical Nephron | |
| Juxtamedullary Nephron (deeper) | Eliminates wastes from the body, regulates blood volume and BP, controls levels of electrolytes, regulates blood pH. |
| Parts of Nephron | |
| Bowmans (glomerular) Capsule | In cortex of the kidney, surrounds the glomerulus, site of filtration of the blood. |
| Glomerulus | Network of capillaries surrounded by the Bowmans capsules, site of filtration. |
| Proximal convoluted tubule | Where most of the water is absorbed by obligatory water reabsorption. |
| Descending limb of the loop of Henle | |
| Loop of Henle | |
| Ascending limb of the loop of Henle | |
| Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) | Away from the Bowmans capsule |
| Collecting Duct | |
| Enzymes | |
| When BP drops, JG (juxtaglomerular) cells secrete an enzyme renin. | |
| Renin removes AA (Angiotensin-Aldosterone) from angiotensinogen to form angiotensin1 | |
| Angiotensin 1 goes to lungs, and enzymes convert it to angiotensin 2. | |
| Angiotensin 2 | Vasoconstricts to raise BP, reduces renal flow, stimulates secretion of aldosterone (hormone) from the adrenal cortex to stimulate thirst. (Aldosterone makes you thirsty). |
| Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) which controls the permeability of DCT and CT to water. | |
| No ADH | Collecting tubules impermeable to H2O so there is more H2O in urine, urine is more dilute, kidneys cant reabsorb the extra H2O it needs. |
| ADH Present | Urine is more concentrated, collecting tubules are permeable to H2O so more water is reabsorbed so urine is more concentrated. |
