What is the Function of Apocrine Glands? F: Signaling
Skin Sebaceous Glands are shaped as Acinar ("bunch of berries"
Skin Sebaceous glands open into H Follicles
Where could I locate a Skin Sebaceous Gland? By the hair
What is the composition of a Skin Sebaceous Gland? Sebum (oily mix)
What are the three functions of Skin Sebaceous Glands? Lubricate Antibacterials Conditioning
During Renaissance, beauty spots were made of black cloth or turtle shell and used as a method of covering skin imperfections or Nevus
Composed of the papillary and reticular layers Dermis
Both nails and hair serve the function of Protection
Stratum _________ contains tactile cells contributing to the sense of touch Basale
A command to release sweat is delivered from the brain to the merocrine sweat glands by the _______ nerve Motor
A chemical produced by epidermal cells with the stratum basale to protect from damaging UV radiations Melanin
This stratum is present in the skin of your palm but absent in the skin of your wrist Lucidum

Chondrocytes are defined as (mature cells that maintain the ECM
ECM in Cartilage CT contains Ground substance (rich in water for compression) & Fibers (collagen, & elastin)
