Question
Answer
show The Skin  
🗑
lies deep to the dermis   show
🗑
show Protection— from bumps, chemicals, water loss, UV radiation Regulation of body temperature Excretion— urea, salts, and water lost through sweat Production of vitamin D Sensory reception—keeps us aware of conditions at the body’s surface  
🗑
show Keratinocytes -tratum spinosum; produce keratin a fibrous protein Melanocytes-basal layer; secrete pigment Tactile epithelial cells-basal layer; attached to sensory nerve endings Dendritic cells-stratum spinosum; part of immune system; macrophage-like  
🗑
most abundant cell type in epidermis Arise from deepest layer of epidermis Produce keratin, a tough fibrous protein Produce antibodies and enzymes Dead at skin's surface   show
🗑
show A) Stratum basale (stratum geminativum) B) Stratum spinosum C) Stratum granulosum D) Stratum lucidum (only in thick skin) E) Stratum corneum  
🗑
Deepest layer of epidermis Attached to underlying dermis Cells actively divide Stratum basale contains Merkel cells—associated with sensory nerve ending Melanocytes—secrete the pigment melanin   show
🗑
“Spiny” appearance caused by artifacts of histological preparation Contains thick bundles of intermediate filaments (tonofilaments) Resist tension Contain protein prekeratin and star-shaped dendritic cells Function in immune system (as macrophages)   show
🗑
Consists of keratinocytes and tonofilaments Tonofilaments contain: Keratohyaline granules—help form keratin Lamellated granules—contain a waterproofing glycolipid   show
🗑
Occurs only in thick skin Locations of thick skin—palms and soles Composed of a few rows of flat, dead keratinocytes   show
🗑
show E) Stratum corneum (horny layer)  
🗑
Second major layer of the skin Strong, flexible connective tissue Richly supplied with blood vessels and nerves   show
🗑
show Papillary layer—includes dermal papillae Reticular layer Deeper layer—80% of thickness of dermis  
🗑
show Flexure lines  
🗑
show Hypodermis  
🗑
show i) Melanin Most important pigment—made from tyrosine ii) Carotene Yellowish pigment from carrots and tomatoes iii) Hemoglobin Caucasian skin contains little melanin Allows crimson color of blood to show through  
🗑
show Nails  
🗑
Parts of The Nail   show
🗑
Flexible strand of dead, keratinized cells Hard keratin—tough and durable   show
🗑
2 Parts of Hair   show
🗑
show i) Medulla—central core ii) Cortex—surrounds medulla iii) Cuticle—outermost layer  
🗑
show Hair follicles  
🗑
show Hair bulb  
🗑
show Root plexus  
🗑
show Arrector pili muscle  
🗑
show Vellus hairs  
🗑
show Terminal hairs  
🗑
show Sebaceous Glands  
🗑
entire cell breaks up to form secretion Most are associated with a hair follicle   show
🗑
Functions of sebum   show
🗑
glands (sudoriferous glands) widely distributed on body   show
🗑
a blood filtrate 99% water with some salts Contains traces of metabolic wastes About 2% urea   show
🗑
2 types of sweat glands   show
🗑
show First-degree burn  
🗑
upper epidermis and upper part of dermis is also damaged from burns   show
🗑
show Third-degree burn  
🗑
Least malignant and most common skin cancer   show
🗑
Skin cancer that arises from keratinocytes of stratum spinosum   show
🗑
A cancer of melanocytes The most dangerous type of skin cancer   show
🗑
show Epidermis  
🗑
show Dermis and hypodermis  
🗑
Develop from neural crest cells   show
🗑
show produced by Fetal sebaceous glands  
🗑
Fetal skin is well formed after the fourth month. At 5–6 months, the fetus is covered with lanugo (downy hairs)   show
🗑
