| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 3 Layers of the skin | Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis/telasubcutania |
| Epidermis | Epithelial tissue, outermost layer of skin |
| Dermis | Dense irregular C.T., vascular, feeds epidermis, gives strength & structural security, middle layer of skin |
| Hypodermis/telasubcutania | Loose C.T. layer, adipose tissue layer, deepest layer of skin |
| Layers of the Epidermis | Stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale |
| Stratum Basale | keratinocytes & melanocytes |
| Stratum Spinosum | many mature keratinocytes that are flattened |
| Stratum Granulosum | keratinocytes flattened and structurally changed, waterproofing layer of skin |
| Stratum Corneum | dead cells |
| Dermal Papilla | increased surface area, increased sensitivity, anchors dermis/epidermis, arrangement creates friction ridges (finger prints) |
| Stratum Papillare | contains dermal papilla, blood vessels, and nerve endings |
| Stratum Reticulare | bundles of collagen (reticular fibers) are responsible for cleavage lines |
| Invagination | developmental process that gives rise to hair follicles & glands |
| Follicle | continuation of epidermis (stratified squamous epithelium) |
| Arrector Pili Muscles | attach b/w hair follicle & stratum papillar of dermis |
| Layers of Dermis | Stratum Papillare, Stratum Reticulare |
| Types of Skin Glands | sebaceous glands, sudoriferous glands |
| Sebaceous Gland | oily gland, secretes sebum |
| Sebum | oily substance that lubricates, moisturizes, helps waterproof the skin, and serves as an antimicrobial agent |
| Eccerine Sudoriferous Gland | sweat gland, produces watery odorless sweat |
| Apocrine Sudoriferous Gland | sweat gland, produces watery sweat that mixes with bacteria on surface of skin and becomes odorous. distributes pheromones |
