Question
Answer
Protection, consists of skin, nails, hair, sweat and oil glands.   Integumentary System  
🗑
Three Layers of Skin   Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis or Subdermis  
🗑
Made up of stratified squamous epithelial cells, is avascular and innovated.   Epidermis  
🗑
Many nerve endings for touch.   Innovated  
🗑
Separates the epithelial tissue from the connective tissue.   Basement membrane  
🗑
Five layers of the epidermis bottom to the top.   Stratum Basale, Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Granulosum, Stratum Lucidum, Stratum Corneum  
🗑
Basal Cell Layer, deepest layer.   Stratum Basale  
🗑
Many layers of spiny shaped cells with centrally located, large, oval nuclei and developing fibers of keratin; cells becoming flattened. Beneath the stratum granulosum.   Stratum Spinosum  
🗑
3-4 layers of flattened granular cells that contain shrunken fibers of keratin and shriveled nuclei. Beneath the stratum lucidum.   Stratum Granulosum  
🗑
Cells appear clear; nuclei, organelles and cell membranes are no longer visible. Between stratum corneum and stratum granulosum on soles and palms.   Stratum Lucidum  
🗑
Many layers of keratinized, dead epithelial cells that are flattened and nonnucleated. Outermost layer. Is waterproof.   Stratum Corneum  
🗑
Vascularized, contains nerve endings, reticulum foundational level. When scratched or lacerated will bleed. Contains glands, melanocytes. Tattoo ink is injected at this level.   Dermis  
🗑
Secretes melanin, which gives the skin color.   Melanocytes  
🗑
Finger like projections that stick up into the epidermis. Connects the epidermis to the dermis. Also creates fingerprints. Contains messiner's corpuscles.   Dermal papilla  
🗑
Creates skin pigment, freckles or age spots.   Melanin  
🗑
Receptors which are responsible for touch.   Meissner's Corpuscle  
🗑
Contains sudoriferous, sebaceous, sweat glands, hair follicles, pacinian corpuscles, arrector pili muscles and collagen fibers   Reticular Layer  
🗑
Fibers that loosen over time   Collagen Fibers  
🗑
Muscle that controls hair follicle. Provides protection and heat. Causes goosebumps   Arrector Pili Muscle  
🗑
Receptors which are responsible for pressure   Pacinian Corpuscle  
🗑
Insulating layers, contains adipose and is injection site.   Subcutaneous or Hypodermis Layer  
🗑
Skin accessories   Sebaceous glands, Sudoriferous glands, modified sudoriferous glands, hair and nails  
🗑
Skin Functions   Protections against infection, protection against dehydration, regulation of body temperature and collection of sensory information.  
🗑
Types of Skin Lesions   Surface Lesions, Deep Lesions and Burns  
🗑
Types of sudoriferous glands   Eccrine and apocrine glands  
🗑
Types of modified sudoriferous glands   Ceruminous, ciliary glands and mammary glands  
🗑
Consists of hair   Shaft, root and arrector pili muscle  
🗑
Makes up the nail   Nail root, nail bed, nail plate, luna and cuticle  
🗑
Types of surface lesions   Macule, papule, vesicle and pustule  
🗑
Types of deep lesions   Excoriation, laceration, ulcer and fissure  
🗑
Types of burns   First, Second and third degree  
🗑
Secretes sebum(oil); keeps skin and nails moisturized   Sebaceous glands  
🗑
Sweat glands, secretes odor and sweat   Sudoriferous glands  
🗑
Secretes products directly to the skin   Eccrine glands  
🗑
Secretes product and the apex of cell via the hair follicle   Apocrine glands  
🗑
Secretes earwax   Ceruminous glands  
🗑
Small glands along eyelash line and secrete moisture   Ciliary glands  
🗑
Modified sweat glands, secretes milk   Mammary glands  
🗑
Portion of the hair that sticks above the scalp   Shaft  
🗑
Underneath the scalp, hair with bulb   Hair root  
🗑
Growth underneath the skin   Nail root  
🗑
Overlies the surface of skin, tissue layer under nail plate   Nail bed  
🗑
Hard nail surface provides a protective covering   Nail plate  
🗑
White, half-moon section of the nail   Luna  
🗑
Protects the nail from bacteria   Cuticle  
🗑
What determines skin coloring   Genetics, Environmental factors and physiological factors  
🗑
Not raised, but a flat colored spot. Example: freckles   Macule  
🗑
Firm raised spots on the skin. Example: Warts, moles and skin tags   Papule  
🗑
Clear, raised, fluid filled lesion. Example: blisters   Vesicle  
🗑
Milky, fluid filled sac on the skin. Example: pimple   Pustule  
🗑
Scoring or scratching of the skin   Excoriation  
🗑
Deeper tearing of the skin, creates a ragged edge   Laceration  
🗑
Sore associated with disintegration or death of a tissue   Ulcer  
🗑
Crack or an even split into deep tissue. Example: bad athlete's foot   Fissure  
🗑
Number determines the layer   Burns  
🗑
Just involving the epidermis. Ex: Sunburn   First degree burns  
🗑
Involved the epidermis and the dermis, usually involves blisters   Second degree burns  
🗑
Destruction of the entire skin, leading to scarring   Third Degree Burns  
🗑
Forms when there is a loss of blood   Scar  
🗑
Events of wound healing   1. Injury-blood escapes from dermal tissue 2. Blood clot forms 3. Clot & tissue dry to form protective scab 4. Blood vessels send out alternative branches to revascularize the area 5. Fibroblasts reform new connective tissue 6. Scab falls off  
🗑
