Term
Definition
Dermis   Dense, fibrous, connective tissue layer Contains collagen. aka true skin  
🗑
Papillary Layer   superfiscal dermis, areolar connective tissue, made up of dermal papillae  
🗑
Reticular Layer   deeper dermis, dense irragular connective tissue, name means "network" and refers to the meshwork of collagen fibers  
🗑
Striae   aka stretch marks. a stripe or line distinguished from surrounding tissue by color, texture, or elevation.  
🗑
Hypodermis is made of?   aka subcutaneous, areolar connective and adipose tissue,  
🗑
Hair bulb   epithelial, where the hair originates in the dermis  
🗑
Hair root   is the hair within the follicle internal to the skin surface  
🗑
Hair shaft   the portion of the hair that extends above the surface  
🗑
Hair follicle   oblique tube that surrounds the root hair  
🗑
Arrector pili muscle   thin ribbons of smooth muscle, stimulated in response to an emotional state, upon stimulation they create "goose bumps"  
🗑
Eccrine gland   produce sweat in response to emotional tension, heat and pain, sweat aids to control body temperature  
🗑
Where is Apocrine gland found   distributed in axillary, anal, areolar, and public regions  
🗑
Sebaceous   associated with hair follicles, produce sebum which coats lubricants and acts an antibacterial  
🗑
Ceruminous glands   External acoustic meatus and produces cerumen  
🗑
Mammary   breasts, milk to nourish offspring  
🗑
Free nerve ending   termainal branches of dendrites. least complex tactile receptor and are close to the skin surface  
🗑
root hair plexus   specialized free nerve endings, sheathed around hair follicles in the reticular layer of the dermis  
🗑
Tactile cells   specialized epithelial that stimulate sensory nerves for touch. most numerous type of receptor  
🗑
Krause bulb   mucous membrane of the oral cavity, where they detect light pressure stimuli and low-frequency vibrations  
🗑
Ruffini corpuscle   detect continuous deep pressure and distortion in the skin. located in the dermis and subcutaneous layers  
🗑
Pacinian corpuscle   aka Lamellated, detect deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.  
🗑
Meissner corpuscle   aka Tactile corpuscle, larger than pacinian, detect light touch, shapes, and texture.  
🗑
Hypodermics   pads and protects the body, acts as an energy reservoir, and provides thermal insulation.  
🗑
Apocrine glands   produce viscous, complex secretion, influenced by hormones, asks in signaling/communication.  
🗑
Pacinian corpuscle are found   deep within the reticulay layer of the dermis, palms, feet, breast, external genitalia, synovial membranes of joints and in the walls of some organs.  
🗑
Meissner corpuscles are found   housed within the dermal papillae of lips, palms, eyelids, nipples, and genitals  
🗑
