| THE MEDICAL BRANCH OF SCIENCE THAT DEALS WITH THE STUDY OF THE SKIN, ITS FUNCTIONS, AND DISEASES | DERMATOLOGY |
| THE LARGEST ORGAN OF THE HUMAN BODY | SKIN |
| HEALTHY SKIN IS SLIGHTLY MOIST, SOFT, AND FLEXIBLE WITH A TEXTURE THAT IS | SMOOTH AND FINE GRAINED |
| APPENDAGES OF THE SKIN INCLUDE HAIR, NAILS, AND | SWEAT AND OIL GLANDS |
| THE SKIN ON THE SCALP HAVE LARGER AND DEEPER | HAIR FOLLICLES |
| THE EPIDERMIS LAYER OF THE SKIN IS ALSO CALLED THE | CUTICLE |
| CONTINUED PRESSURE ON ANY PART OF THE SKIN CAUSES IT TO THICKEN AND DEVELOP INTO A | CALLUS |
| THE THINNEST SKIN CAN BE FOUND ON THE | EYELIDS |
| THE OUTERMOST LAYER OF SKIN THAT FORMS THE PROTECTIVE COVERING OF THE BODY IS THE | EPIDERMIS |
| THE DEEPEST LAYER OF THE EPIDERMIS, BASAL CELL LAYER IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE | STRATUM GRAMINATIVUM |
| THE DARK SPECIAL CELLS THAT PROTECT SENSITIVE CELLS AND PROVIDE COLOR TO THE SKIN ARE | MELANOCYTES |
| THE GRANULAR LAYER OF THE SKIN IS ALSO CALLED THE | STRATUM GRANULOSUM |
| THE OUTERMOST LAYER, DIRECTLY BENEATH THE EPIDERMIS, IS THE | PAPILLARY LAYER |
| TISSUE THAT GIVES SMOOTHNESS AND CONTOUR TO THE BODY AND PROVIDES A PROTECTIVE CUSHION IS | SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE |
| THE LAYER OF THE SKIN THAT IS COMPOSED OF SEVERAL LAYERS OF DIFFERENT-SHAPED CELLS AND IS RESPONIBLE FOR THE GROWTH OF THE EPIDERMIS IS THE | BASAL CELL LAYER |
| THE CLEAR, TRANSPARENT LAYER JUST UNDER THE SKIN SURFACE THAT CONSISTS OF SMALL CELLS WHICH LIGHT CAN PASS IS THE | STRATUM LUCIDUM |
| THE LAYER THAT CONSISTS OF CELLS THAT LOOK LIKE DISTINCT GRANULES AND ARE PUSHED TO THE SURFACE TO REPLACE CELLS THAT SHED IS THE | STRATUM GRANULOSUM |
| THE CLEAR FLUID THAT REMOVES TOXINS AND CELLULAR WASTE AND HAS IMMUNE FUNCTIONS IS | LYMPH |
| NERVES THAT REGULATE THE SECRETION OF PERSPIRATION AND SEBUM ARE | SECRETORY NERVE FIBERS |
| BASIC SENSATIONS SUCH AS TOUCH, PAIN, HEAT, COLD, AND PRESSURE ARE REGISTERED BY | NERVE ENDINGS |
| THE STRATUEM GERMINATIVUM IS COMPOSED OF SEVERAL LAYERS WITH SPECIAL CELLS THAT PRODUCE A DARK SKIN PIGMENT CALLED | MELANIN |
| THE LAYER OF SKIN THAT WE SEE AND IS TREATED BY THE PRACTITIONER IS THE | STRATUM CORNEUM |
| A FIBER PROTEIN THAT IS THE PRINCIPAL COMPONENT OF HAIR, SKIN, AND NAILS IS | KERATIN |
| THE AMOUNT AND TYPE OF PIGMENT PRODUCED BY AN INDIVIDUAL IS DETERMINED BY | MELANIN |
| TWO TYPES OF MELANIN PRODUCED BY AN INDIVIDUAL IS DETERMINED BY | GENES |
| SKIN GETS ITS STRENTGH, FORM AND FLEXIBILITY FROM FLEXIBLE FIBERS FOUND WITH THE | DERMIS |
| THE SUDORIFEROUS GLANDS HELP THE BODY REHULATE | BODY TEMPERATURE |
| THE UNDERLYING OR INNER LAYER OF THE SKIN ALSO CALLED THE DERMA CORIUM,CUTIS, OR TRUE SKIN IS THE | DERMIS |
| THE DERMIS LAYER IS MADE UP OF TWO LAYERS, WHICH ARE THE | PAPILLARY AND RETICULAR |
| THE DEEPER LAYER OF THE DERMIS THAT SUPPLIES THE SKIN WITH OXYGEN AND NUTRIENTS IS THE | RETICULAR |
| THE TOP OF THE PAPILLARY LAYER WHERE IT JOINS THE EPIDERMIS IS THE | EPIDERMAL-DERMAL JUNCTION |
| THE FATTY LAYER FOUND BELOW THE DERMIS IS THE | SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE |
| THE MUSCLE THAT CAUSES GOOSE BUMPS WHEN A PERSON IS FRIGHTENED OR COLD IS THE | ARRECTOR PILI MUSCLES |
| THE LAYER OF THE DERMIS THAT HOUSES THE NERVE ENDINGS THAT PROVIDE THE BODY WITH THE SENSE OF TOUCH IS FOUND IN THE | PAPILLARY LAYER |
| THE TINY GRANULES OF COLORING MATTER DEPOSITED IN CELLS THAT PROVIDES SKIN WITH ITS COLOR ARE | MELANIN |
| THE MELANIN PRODUCED BY THE BODY THAT IS RED TO YELLOW IN COLOR IS | PHEOMELANINE |
| A FIBROUS PROTEIN THAT GIVES THE SKIN FORM AND STRENTGH IS | COLLAGEN |
| A FIBROUS PROTEIN THAT GIVES SKIN ITS FLEXIBILITY AND HELPS SKIN REGAIN ITS SHAPE AFTER BEING EXPANDED IS | ELASTIN |
| A TUBE-LIKE DUCT THAT ENDS AT THE SKIN SURFACE TO FORM THE SWEAT PORE IS THE | SECRETARY COIL |
| THE SEBACEOUS OR OIL GLANDS ARE CONNECTED TO THE | HAIR FOLLICLES |
| THE PRINCIPAL FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN ARE PROTECTION, SENSATION, HEAT REGULATION, EXCRETION AND | ABSORPTION AND SECRETION |
| THE BEST WAY TO SUPPORT THE HEALTH OF THE SKIN IS BY EATING FOODS FROM | ALL 3 BASIC FOOD GROUPS |
| THE TWO TYPES OF DUCT GLANDS THAT EXTEND MATERIALS FROM THE BLOOD TO FORM NEW SUBSTANCES ARE | SUDORIFEROUS AND SEBACEOUS |
| OIL GLANDS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO HAIR FOLLICLES ARE ALSO CALLED | SEBACEOUS |
| WHEN SEBUM HARDENS AND THE SEBACEOUS DUCT BECOMES CLOGGED, THE PORE IMPACTION THAT IS FORMED IS A | COMEDONE |
| RETINOIC ACID, OR RETIN-A IS A PRESCRIPTION CREAM USED TO TREAT | ACNE |
| WATER IS THE NUMBER ONE NUTRIENT OF THE BODY AND COMPOSES WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE BODY'S WEIGHT | 50% TO 70% |
| THE NAIL IS AN APPENDAGE OF THE SKIN AND IS PART OF WHAT SYSTEM | INTEGUMENTARY |
| THE HARD PROTECTIVE PLATE FOUND AT THE ENDS OF FINGERS AND TOES ARE | FREE EDGES |
| THE AREA UNDER THE HEALTHY NAIL PLATE SHOULD APPEAR | WHITISH WITH PINKISH AND TRANSLUCENT |
| A MAIN PROTEIN THAT IS FOUND IN NATURAL NAILS IS | ONYX |
| THE WATER CONTENT OF THE NATURAL NAIL DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE NAILS | FLEXIBILITY |
| THE PORTION OF LIVING SKIN ON WHICH THE NAIL PLATE SITS IS THE | NAIL BED |
| THE NAIL BED IS SUPPLIED WITH MANY NERVES AND IS ATTACHED TO THE NAIL PLATE WITH A THIN LAYER OF TISSUE CALLED | BED EPITHELIUM |
| THE PART OF THE NAIL WHERE THE NATURAL NAIL FORMED IS THE | MATRIX |
| THE VISIBLE PART OF THE MATRIX THAT EXTENDS UNDERNEATH THE LIVING SKIN IS CALLED THE | LUNULA |
| THE MOST VISIBLE AND FUNCTIONAL PART OF THE NAIL MODULE IS THE | NAIL PLATE |
| A HEALTHY NAIL IS SMOOTH, SHINY AND | TRANSLUCENT |
| THE NAIL PLATE IS GUIDED AND HELPED ALONG DURING ITS GROWTH BY A THIN LAYER OF TISSUES CALLED | BED EPITHELIUM |
| THE MATRIX CONTINUES TO CREATE NEW CELLS PROVIDED THAT | HEALTHY AND NOURISHED |
| THOUGH BANDS OF FIBROUS TISSUES THAT CONNECT BONES ARE | LIGAMENT |
| THE NAIL PLATE IS CONSTRUCTED OF HOW MANY LAYERS OF NAIL CELLS | ABOUT 100 LAYERS |
| THE DEAD, COLORLESS TISSUE ATTACHED TO THE NAIL PLATE THAT IS RESPONIBLE FOR PREVENTING ENTRY OF FOREIGN MATERIAL AND MICROORGANISSMS IS THE | CUTICLE |
| THE LIVING SKIN AT THE BASE OF THE NAIL PLATE COVERING THE MATRIX AREA IS THE | EPONYCHIUM |
| THE SLITS OR FURROWS ON THE SIDES OF THE NAIL PLATES ARE | NAIL FOLDS |
| THE LENGTH, WIDTH, AND CURVATURE OF NAILS ARE DETERMINED BY THE | MATRIX |
| REPLACEMENT OF THE NATURAL FINGERNAIL USUALLY TAKES ABOUT | 4 TO 6 MONTHS |
| WHAT FINGERNAIL GROWTH IS THE FASTEST | MIDDLE FINGER |
| THE NAIL HAS A WATER CONTENT BETWEEN | 15% TO 25% |
| THE SLIGHTLY THICKENED LAYER OF SKIN THAT LIES UNDERNEATH THE FREE EDGES OF THE NAIL PLATE IS THE | HYPONYCHIUM |
| THE FIBROUS TISSUES THAT CONNECT THE NAIL BED AND MATRIX TO THE UNDERLYING LONE ARE | LIGAMENT |
| THE PORTION OF THE NATURAL NAIL PLATE THAT EXTENDS OVER THE FINGERTIP OR TOES IS CALLED THE | FREE EDGE |
| NATURAL NAILS CONTINUE TO GROW PROVIDED WHAT PART OF THE NAIL IS HEALTHY AND UNDAMAGED | MATRIX |
| THE AVERAGE RATE OF NAIL GROWTH IN THE NORMAL ADULT IS ABOUT | 1/10 PER MONTH |
| ORDINARILY, REPLACEMENT OF THE NATURAL NAIL TAKES ABOUT | 4 TO 6 MONTHS |
| THE NAIL THAT GROWS THE SLOWEST IS THE | THUMB |
| NORMAL, HEALTHY NAILS GROW IN AVARIETY OF SHAPES, DEPENDING UPON THE SHAPE OF THE | MATRIX |
