Integumentary Sulliv

Description of Sullivan Integumentary System Test

QuestionAnswer
A blackhead is an accumulation of oily material produced by____. Sebaceous glands
Tiny muscles attached to hair follicles that pull the hair upright during fright or cold are called? Arrector Pili Muscle
The must numerous variety of perspiration gland is the Eccrine sweat gland
A sheath formed of both epithelial and connective tissues is the hair follicles
a less numerous variety of perspiration gland is the ____. Its secretion (often milky appearance) contains proteins and other substances that favor bacterial growth Apocrine sweat glands
___Is found everywhere on the body except the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and lips, and primarily consists of dead keratinized cells Cutaneous receptors
Become more active at puberty Apocrine sweat glands
part of the heat-liberating apparatus of the body is the____ eccrine sweat glands
Uses of the Integumentary system 1) protection from dying out, bacteria, viruses, and fungi 2) helps retain heat.(cool off) 3) Senses the environment
What are the 2 layers of the skin Epidermis, Dermis
What are the 5 layers of the epidermis from outside to inside. 1) Stratum Corneum 2) Stratum Lucidum 3) Stratum Granulosum 4) Stratum Spinosum 5) stratum Germinativum
How much does the skin weigh? 20 pounds
What is the pigment in your skin Melanin
What is Keratin? Water proofing Chemicals.
What is the Stratum Corneum Dead hardened and flattened. This layer is keratinized. These are topical chemicals and are rare
What is the Stratum Lucidum Transparent 2nd layer of the skin
What starts in Stratum Granulosum? Keratinization
How thick is the Stratum Spinosum 5-10 cell layers thick. It has rods of extensions coming off the cells that hold layers together
What happens in Stratum Germinativum Cell division. it makes up all the other layers of the epidermis
How much does your skin weigh? 20lbs
What is the pigment in your skin? Melanin
What are Melanin producing cells in the Epidermis? Melanocytes
definition of tanning Melanocytes are melanin producing cells in the Epidermis. They produce melanin in response to UV light. When the skin is exposed to UV light it produces Melanin
What happens when the skin is not exposed to UV light Epidermis wears off and melanocytes dont make more melanin so the tan fades
Where are calouses produced? areas of high wear
What happens to cells that are irritated reproduce. they reproduce so quickly the cells are not worn off. a calouse results
Type of tissue in the dermis Connective
What is the dermis composed of Largely of fibrous connective tissue. These fibers give the skin strength and elasticity
Doctors cut in the line of ___ Tension
What causes the fibers to lose elasticity and start to sag Gravity. Cause of lines and wrinkling
What do the blood vessels do in the dermis Supply nutrients to all skin cells
If a person lies in one position too long the body's weight interferes and stop blood flow. Decubitis ulcer or bedsore
What happens to the blood vessels in the dermis is the temperature goes up skin gets bigger and dilates.
What happens to the blood vessels in the dermis is the temperature goes down skin gets smaller and constricts
sense heavy pressure, temperature, and light Nerves
The dermis can make Vitamin ___ D
is sunlight good for kids? yes, vitamin D
where are hair follicles found everywhere but palms or soles
What is at the base of the follicle epithelial tissue
2 reasons for hair loss anythign that affects the blood flow, genetics, cancer treatments.
black hair lots of melanin
Brown hair medium melanin
blonde hair little melanin
gray hair some hair has melanina and some is white
White hair No melanin
Red hair iron pigment that oxidizes and turns rusty colored
Muscles that respond to cold Arrector Pili Muscles
What do the Arrector Pili Muscles do Contract and pull the hair up. Stores heat between the hair and skin (not really for humans). Human hair stands up during times of stress. When the muscles contract. Goose bumps are formed
Oil producing glands in each hair follicle Sebaceous glands
Oil from sebaceous glands keep the hair ____ and ____ soft and pliant
The oil in sebaceous glands are ____ sebum
Sebaceous glands in certain areas become overactive due to ____ hormonal changes
What do the oil trap from the sebaceous glands Bacteria. The bacteria cause inflammation and zits
What do nails come from special epithelial cells at the base of a nail
The white half moon shaped area is the ____ growing region
The new cells get ___ keratinized and harden
Found all over but most numerous on the palms and teh soles Sweat glands
sweat glands that respond to emotional stress Appocrine sweat glands
Most numerous in the armpits and groin appocrine
Appocrine respond to what Sexual stimulation
Respond to temperature change Eccrine
found on the forehead, neck and back. Eccrine
This sweat evaporates taking heat with it Eccrine
Skin is red, swollen, painful, and warm Inflammation
What is redness caused by increased blood flow to the area. This is healing and to fight infection
What is warmth from increased blood flow
Where does swelling come from capillaries. they dilate and their walls thin causing fluids to diffuse out
where does pain come from pressure from swelling
Inflammation causes increased ___ to the area Nutrients and energy
RICE Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate
Rest to prevent further injury and to promote healing
Ice causes the capillaries to constrict causing the swelling to go down
Compression physically limits swelling
Elevation uses gravity to return fluid to return fluid to the bloodstream
Heat Exhaustion symptoms skin is pale, it feels cool and wet (clammy), there may be some nausea and some dizziness
Heat stroke symptoms Skin is red, the skin is hot and dry, the person will be unconscious or disoriented
Shallow woulds affect what tissue epithelial
Shallow wounds description epidermis is damaged, so the missing or dead epithelial tissue divides rapidly to fill in the space
Deep wounds affect what tissue dermis is involved- connective tissue
Process of stopping deep woulds 1, 2, 3 1. Blood Vessels break and a clot forms, 2. The clot and dried fluids form a scab, 3. Fibroblasts form connective tissues at the wound margins. These bind the wound. This causes the wound to get smaller. This is also the reason for suturing or stitches
Process of stopping deep wounds 4, 5, 6 4. As healing continues, blood vessels grow into the new tissue. *some believe into the scab 5. Phagocytic Cells (to eat) migrate to the area and eat dead cells and other debris. 6 Eventually the scb is taken off. Conn. T. is left under scb forming a scar
Burns 1st, 2nd, 3rd
1st degree burns blood vessels are dilated, causing redness. The epidermis is sloughed off
3rd degree burns full thickness of the skin is destroyed (maybe some subcutaneous tissue) large ulcers appear. Dehydration and bacterial infection become problems
2nd degree burns Blisters form because the capillaries thin and fluid diffuses out.
What causes a brownish coloration in the skin Epidermis can make melanin and causes it
Pigment in the blood cell responsible for 2 colors Hemoglobin. If it is oxygenated the skin is reddish or pink. If the hemoglobin loses oxygen, the skin turns bluish or purple. This is cyanosis
Subcutaneous injection is where in the skin under the skin
Intradermal injection is where in the skin into the dermis
