Test 3 information

QuestionAnswer
the study of the skin and skin disorders dermatolody
contains the stratum germinativum and the stratum corneum epidermis
contains adipose tissue subcutaneous layer
layer of skin that contains the blood vessels, nerves, and sensory recepters dermis
epidermal layer that forms the bathtub ring stratum corneum
layer underneath the epidermis dermis
layer of epidermis that continuously produces millions of cells every day stratum germinativum
a protein in the skin that flattens, hardens, and makes the skin water-resistant keratin
surface layer of the epidermis that makes up most of the epidermal thickness stratum corneum
layer that insulates the body from extreme temperature changes and anchors the skin to the underlying structures subcutaneous layer
hypodermis subcutaneous layer
another name for the skin integument
desquamation and exfoliation refer to this epidermal layer stratum germinativum
another name for the cutaneous membrane integument
this epidermal layer forms corns and calluses stratum corneum
oil glands sebaceous
a blackhead is formed when this gland becomes blocked by accumulated oil and debris sebaceous
a pimple is formed when the sebum of this blocked gland becomes infected sebaceous
sweat glands that cause body odor and are responsible for sex attractants in animals apocrine
babies born with a "cream cheese-like" covering called vernix caseosa that is secreted by these glands sebaceous
these glands and the apocrine glands are classified as sudoriferous glands eccrine
sweat glands that are usually associated with hair follicles and are found in the axillary and genital areas apocrine
sweat glands that respond to emotional stress and also become activated when a person is sexually aroused apocrine
sweat glands that play the most important role in temperature regulation eccrine
milk-secreting glands that are classified as modified sweat glands mammary
modified sweat glands that secrete earwax ceruminous
pigment that darkens the skin; the pigment-secreting cells are stimulated by ultraviolet radiation melanin

hair loss alopecia
yellowing of the skin caused by an accumulation of bilirubin in the skin jaundice
described as ashen pallor
temperature within the cranial, thoracic, and abdominal cavities core temperature
mechanisms whereby the body balances heat production and heat loss thermoregulation
about 500 mL/day of water is lost through the skin insensible perspiration
eccrine glandes are responsible fro this type of perspiration sensible perspiration
heat production due to continuous contractions of skeletal muscles when cold shivering thermogenesis
evaporation, conduction, convection, and radiation modes of heat loss
heat production caused by the metabolism of brown fat in the neonate nonshivering thermogenesis
temperature of the surface areas such as the skin, mouth, and axilla shell temperature
thermostat of the body hypothalamus
