Question
Answer
The skin and it appendages (Hair, nails, Skin glands) are collectively know as the   Integumentary System  
🗑
the outer most layer of the skin that consists of stratified squamous epithelial tissue, is called   Epidermis  
🗑
the inner deep layer of the skin that is composed of connective tissue, is called   Hypodermis  
🗑
Finger-like projects that extend upward from the dermis is called   Papillae  
🗑
Beneath the skin is a layer of subcutaneous tissue called the   Hypodermis  
🗑
this layer is also know as the stratum germinativum   Stratum Basale  
🗑
in the layers of the epidermis, the innermost layer is called   Stratum Basale  
🗑
in the layers of the epidermis, the outermost layer is called   Stratum Corneum  
🗑
new arriving flattened cells are called   Keratinocytes  
🗑
these replace the dead cells that flake away   Keratinocytes  
🗑
A tough, fibrous protein that replaces the cytoplasm and nucleus in each cell   Keratin  
🗑
scatter throughout the basal layer of the epidermis are cells called   Melanocytes  
🗑
melanocytes produce a substance that accumulates in the cells of the epidermis called   Melanin  
🗑
A reddish pigment is called   Pheomelanin  
🗑
Brown-Black pigment is called   Eumelanin  
🗑
A deficiency of oxygen in circulating blood, that result in you skin having a blue tint to it is called   Cyanosis  
🗑
Yellow discoloration to the skin and whites of the eyes is called   Jaundice  
🗑

🗑
this gland is widespread throughout the body, but are especially abundant on the palms, soles, forehead, and upper torso.   Eccrine Glands  
🗑
this gland produces Sweat!   Eccrine Glands  
🗑
these glands open into the hair follicle and secretes an oily substance called sebum   Sebaceous Glands  
🗑
this helps keep hair and skin from drying out and becoming brittle   Sebum  
🗑
this gland is mainly located in the axillary and anogenital regions   Apocrine Glands  
🗑
these are scent glands that respond to stress and sexual stimulation   Apocrine Glands  
🗑
these glands are found in the ear canal   Ceruminous Glands  
🗑
the wax in our ears that we refer to as "ear Wax" is called   Cerumen  
🗑
