Skin Structure/Growt
Sking Structure and Growth
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The medical branch that deals with the study of skin, functions, diseases, and treatment | dermatology |
| The largest living organ of the body is the | skin |
| Healthy skin is slightly soft, and flexable with a texture that is | smooth and fine-grained |
| Continued pressure on any part of the skin can cause it to thicken and develop a | callus |
| Appendages of the skin include hair, nails, and | sweat and oil glands |
| The skin structure is generally thinnest on the | eyelids |
| the skin on the scalp has larger and deeper | hair follicles |
| the outermost layer of the skin is also called the | epidermis layer |
| The epidermis layer of the skin does not caontain | blood vessels |
| The stratum germinativum is the deepest layer of the epidermis and is responsible for | growth of the epidermis |
| The dark special cells that protect sensitive cells and provide color to the skin are | melanocytes |
| The granular layer of the epidermis is the | stratum corneum |
| A fiber protein that is the principal component of hair and nails is | keratin |
| the deepest layer of the epidermis is the | stratum germinativum |
| Cells that are almost dead and pushed to the surface to replace cells are shed from the | stratum granulosum layer |
| the underlying or inner layer of the skin is the | dermis layer |
| The outermost layer, directly beneath the epidermis, is the | papillary layer |
| The deepest layer of the dermis that supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients and contains sweat and oil glands is the | reticular layer |
| Tissue that gives smoothness and contour to the body and provides a protective cushion is | subcutaneous tissue |
| The clear fluid that removes toxins and cellular waste and has immune functions is | lymph |
| Motor Nerve fibers attatched to the hair follicle that can cause goose bumps are the | arrector pili muscle |
| Nerves that regulate the secretion od persperation and sebum are | secretory nerve fibers |
| Basic sensations such as touch, pain, heat, cold, and pressure are registered by | nerve endings |
| the amount and type of pigment produced by individual is determined by | genes |
| Two types of melanin produced by the body are | pheomelanin and eumelanin |
| Skin gets its strength, form, and flexablility from fibers found within the | dermis layer |
| the fibrous protein that gives skin its form and strength is | elastin |
| a fiber that gives skin flexibility and elasticity is | elastin |
| The sudoriferous glands help the body regulate | temperature |
| a tubelike duct that ends at the skin surface to form the sweat pore is the | secretory coil |
| The sebaceous or oil glands are connected to the | secretory coil |
| The sebaceous or oil glands are connected to the | hair follicle |
| The principal functions of the skin are protection, sensation, heat regulation, excretion, and | secretion and absorption |
| The best way to support the health of skin is by eating foods from | fats, carbs, and proteins. |
