| Melanin | brown pigment |
| oil | sebaceous |
| follicle | hair |
| little moon | lanula |
| synovial membrane | connective tissue |
| Pleura | Epithelial membrane |
| fingerprint | Dermal papillae |
| Tinea | fungal infection , general term is mycotic skin infection |
| perspiration | sudoriferous |
| keratin | water proofing |
| Decubitus ulcer | pressure sore cause by lying too long in one position |
| Hair follicles | necessary for hair to grow |
| skin | is considered to be a cutaneous epithelial membrane |
| frontal plane | another term for coronal plane |
| antiperspirant | Are used to suppress the functioning of the apocrine glands. |
| arrector pili muscle | Specialized smooth muscle that produces “goose pimples” and causes hair to stand up straight |
| Eccrine glands | Contribute to the temperature-regulating function of the skin. |
| acne | over production of oil by the sebaceous gland |
| Rule of nine | used to determine the body surface area that has been burned |
| Melanoma | Is the most serious form of skin cancer that can develop from a mole. |
| apocrine gland | found primarily in the axilla and genital areas. They secrete a thicker, milky secretion that produces odor when skin bacteria decompose the secretion. Apocrine glands become active at puberty |
| sweat glands | Include two varieties: eccrine and apocrine glands. It is also called sudoriferous glands. |
| Serous membrane | Are found only on surfaces within closed cavities. |
| Parietal membranes | line walls of body cavities |
| Visceral membranes | covers the surface of organs within the body cavities |
| Connective tissue membrane | composed exclusively of various types of connective tissue |
| dermis | contains more connective tissue than the epidermis Collagen fiber, nerve endings and sweat glands It is thicker than the epidermis . It is a cutaneous membrane. |
| epidermis | It is a cutaneous membrane. It is the outermost layer of skin. It contains the stratum germinativum. |
| parietal serious membrane | membranes that lines the thoracic and abdominal cavities |
| hypodermis | store energy |
| Vitamin A acid | used to treat acne |
| nail body | Visible part of the nail |
| Warts | skin infection is caused by a papillomavirus |
| Vitiligo | hereditary condition that is characterized by a total lack of melanin |
| shaft | part of the hair that we see |
| synovial membrane | membrane that lines the space between bones in joints that move |
| thick skin | hairless and has roughly parallel friction ridges |
| thin skin | has hairs and shallow , irregular grooves |
| hair papilla | The cap-shaped cluster of cells where hair growth begins |
| hypodermis | helps insulate the body, used as an energy source, helps to protect the underlying tissue |
| alopecia | male pattern baldness |
| squamous cell carcinoma | is the most common type of skin cancer |
| sebaceous gland | produce an oil-like substance called sebum |
| Strawberry Hemangioma | One of the most common birth marks and resembles a starwberry |
| Eccrine glands | contribute to the temperature-regulating function of the skin |
| open fracture | type of fracture pierces the skin |
| melanin; germinativum | Responsible for skin tan in response to sunlight. |
| Rule of nines | Is a standardize tool used by medical professionals to quickly estimate the total body surface area affected by 2nd and 3rd degree burns. |
