Question
Answer
3 major skin regions   epidermis, dermis, hypodermis  
🗑
superficial skin region   epidermis  
🗑
middle skin region   dermis  
🗑
deepest skin region   hypodermis, subcutaneous layer under skin, mostly adipose tissue  
🗑
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium   epidermis  
🗑
contains melanocytes that produce skin pigment   epidermis  
🗑
5 layers of epidermis, bottom to top   stratum basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum  
🗑
deepest layer firmly attached to dermis   stratum basale  
🗑
single row of stem cells that undergo rapid division   stratum basale  
🗑
web-like system of intermediate filaments attached to desmosomes   stratum spinosum  
🗑
abundant melanin granules and dendritic cells   stratum spinosum  
🗑
thin, 3 to 5 cell layers where cells flatten   stratum granulosum  
🗑
keratohyaline and lamellated granules accumulate   stratum granulosum  
🗑
only on think skim, palmar, plantar   stratum lucidum  
🗑
thin, clear band above stratum granulosum   stratum lucidum  
🗑
3/4 thickness of epidermis   stratum corneum  
🗑
protects from abrasion and penetration, waterproofs, acts as barrier   stratum corneum  
🗑
strong flexible connective tissue (dense regular), cells include fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, white blood cells   dermis  
🗑
2 layers of the dermis   papillary layer, reticular layer  
🗑
areolar connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers and blood vessels   papillary layer  
🗑
dermal papillae contain capillary loops and free nerve endings   papillary layer  
🗑
80% thickness of the dermis   reticular layer  
🗑
collagen fibers provide strength and resiliency   reticular layer  
🗑
elastic fibers provide stretch-recoil properties   reticular layer  
🗑
2 types of sweat/sudoriferous glands   eccrine and apocrine  
🗑
glands that release sweat   eccrine glands  
🗑
ducts connect to pores   eccrine glands  
🗑
glands confined to axillary and anogenital areas   apocrine glands  
🗑
release sebum   apocrine glands  
🗑
sweat + fatty substances + protein   sebum  
🗑
glands functional from puberty on   apocrine glands  
🗑
secrete cerumen (wax)   ceruminous glands  
🗑
produce milk   mammary glands  
🗑
widely distributed glands, develop from hair follicles, secrete sebum   sebaceous/oil glands  
🗑
dead keratinized cells   hair  
🗑
hair pigments   melanins  
🗑
sensory nerve endings around each hair bulb, stimulated by bending hair   hair follicle receptor (root hair plexus)  
🗑
smooth muscle attached to follicle, responsible for goose bumps   arrector pili  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
