QuestionAnswer
Epidermal dendritic cells Call responsible for alerting and activating an immune response to a bacterial or viral invasion
Stratum corneum Superficial layer of the epidermis made of 20-30 cell layers of dead, keratin-filled cells
papillary layer of dermis Upper layer of the dermis that forms a dermal papillae
Keratinocyte Cell commonly found in the epidermis that produces keratin
Subcutaneous tissue Hypodermis
Melanocyte Mostly in basale, genetics/exposure to light Cells that produce pigment known as melanin
Stratum basale Deepest layer of epidermis that is situated closest to the dermis
Malignant melanoma
Herpes simplex mouth sores
First-degree burn surface level, red, superficial only epidermis
Third-degree burn kills nerves, destroys epidermis and dermis
Dermatitis peeling skin
Basal cell carcinoma least malignant, stratum basale, no longer make keratin
Boils and carbuncles Bumps
Acne Pimples
Dandrufff Dead skin cells on scalp
Squamous cell carcinoma spinosum, uv exposure, easily removable
Impetigo lesions around nose
Arrector pilli muscle Muscles attached to heair shaft
Hair follicle composed of epithelial root sheath fibrous
Eccrine gland Duct to sweat pores on skin surface, body temp regulation
Sebaceous gland Empty in hair follicles, activated at puberty
Adipose tissue beneath skin
What is the part of your hair that you shave off? Hair shaft
What 3 pigments contribute to the skin color? melanin, carotene, hemoglobin
What 2 exocrine glands release secretions to the skins surface via DUCTS? sebaceous glands and sweat glands
What is the lubricant that keeps skin soft and moist? sebum
Hair color is due to which pigment? melanocytes
The white crescent area location over the nail matrix is what? lunule
Second-degree burn epidermis and superficial dermis
Fourth-degree burn goes into deeper tissues
What is the ABCDE rule for recognizing melanomas? Asymmetrical, borders, color, diameter, evolution
What is the protein within the skin that helps prevent soaking up moisture like a sponge? keratin
What skin layer has adipose tissue? hypodermis
5 layers of epidermis in order from superficial to deep corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, basale (CLGSB)
When someone gets "tan," there is an increase presence of what? melanin
What layer of the epidermis is composed of flattened, dead, keratin-filled cells? stratum corneum
Fingerprints/footprints in the epidermis are created by the dermal papillae, these are present in what layer? papillary layer
What muscle causes your hair to stand up when you are cold? Arrector pilli muscle
Where does hair growth occur? the matrix of the hair bulb
Why is the rules of nine important? its a quick way to see the extent of the burn
Connective tissue composing the dermis is made of what 2 regions? papillary and reticular
Apocrine glands are associated with what? Empty into hair follicles armpit/genitals, puberty, fatty acids/proteins Sweat in the arm pits and genital
What is the reason the nail bed appears pink? there's a rich blood supply under the nail
What 2 fluids act as lubricants in their respective locations? serous fluid and synovial fluid
The type of membrane that forms the skin cutaneous membrane
Peritoneum-pericardium-and pleura are examples of this type of membrane serous membrane
Type of membrane adapted for absorption or secretion mucous membrane
Type of membrane that secretes fluids around organs serous membrane
Type of membrane that contains visceral and a parietal layer serous membrane
Type of membrane that lines the vibrous capsules surrounding joints synovial membrane
Type of membrane that lines open body cavities mucous membrane
What layer of the skin can you see? Epidermis
Which cells ingest unwanted invaders Dedritic
Which cells combine with nerve endings to create sensory receptor for touch Merkel
Where is thick skin found? Which layer? Palms, feet -- lucidum found only in those areas
What helps you maintain your temperature Blood vessels and sweat glands
What are the epithelial membranes called covering and lining membranes Cutaneous, mucous, serous
What is the cutaneous membrane Skin, dry, outermost Epidermis composed of keratinized stratified squamous Dermis dense connective
What is mucous membranes Moist, line body cavities exposed, adapted for absorption/secretion Type depends on site Loose connective
What is serous membranes Lines all body cavities that are closed to exterior Occurs in pairs, separated by serous fluid with visceral and parietal layer Provides lubrication
What are specific serous membranes Peritoneum (abdominal) Pleura (lungs) Pericardium (heart)
Synovial membranes Loose areolar connective Line fibrous capsukes surrounding joins Secrete lubricating fluid to cushion organs
What does integumentary system consist of Skin, skin appendages (sweat glands, oil glands, hair, nails)
Integumentary system functions Insulates/cushions, protects, synthesizes vitamin D, aids in loss or retion of body head, excretion of urea/uric acid
Epidermis hard/tough keratinocytes produce fibrous protein called kertain Five layers avascular
Hypodermis Subcutaneous layer Anchors skin Not part of inagumentary Adipose tissue Shock absorber and insulates deeper tissues
Dermis - papillary vs reticular Papillary - upper, fingerprints/footprints Reticular - Blood vessels, sweat/oil glands, deep pressure receptor
Rule of nines Divided into 11 areas for quick estimation on the extent of burn, each area represents 9% total surface, surrounding genitals represents 1%
Benign vs Malignant Non-cancerous vs cancerous
