Question
Answer
Integumentary Organ System   The cutaneous membrane (skin) with various organs  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue functions   Covering body surfaces; lining body cavities  
🗑
The 3 Major types of epithelial membranes   Serous, Mucous, Cutaneous  
🗑
4th epithelial tissue;lines joints; reduces friction; composed entirely of Connective Tissue   Synovial membranes  
🗑
Lines body cavities (such as thoracic and abdominal); reduce friction and secretes serous fluid- aids in lubrication; components: simple squamous epithelial and thin layer of CT   Serous membranes  
🗑
Lines cavities and tubes that open to the outside of the body (ex. Oral/nasal cavities, tubes of digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems); consists of epi overlying CT; goblet cells secretes mucus   Mucous Membranes  
🗑
Also known as skin; help protect the rest of the body's tissues and organs from physical damage   Cutaneous membrane  
🗑
2 distinct layers   Epidermis and dermis  
🗑
Beneath dermis; masses of loose CT and adipose tissues bind skin to underlying organs; not part of the skin; contains major blood vessels   Subcutaneous Layer  
🗑
Receives nourishment from deepest layer (stratum basale); cells divide and grow and push older cells away from the dermis and towards the surface; poor nutrient supply so cells die over time; thickest at soles of feet and palms   Epidermis  
🗑
Produce melanin which provides skin color   Melanocytes  
🗑
Absorbs UV radiation preventing mutations in DNA and other damaging effects   Melanin  
🗑
Older skin cells thicken and harden by this process   Keratinization  
🗑
Boundary between epidermis and dermis is uneven; binds epidermis to underlying tissues; composed of irregular dense CT; includes tough collagenous and elastic fibers; contains muscle and nerve fibers; create facial expressions   Dermis  
🗑
Unique and form during fetal development; identical twins have different _____   Fingerprints  
🗑
Stimulated by heavy pressure   Pacinian Corpuscle  
🗑
Senses light touch   Meissner's Corpuscles  
🗑
Helps to conserve body heat   Adipose tissue  
🗑
Hair follicles, nails, and skin glands are considered _____ _____   Accessory Organs  
🗑
Present except palms, soles, lips, nipples, and parts of external reproductive organs; follicle extended from surface into dermis and contains hair root   Hair follicles  
🗑
Epidermal cells which have become keratinized and died   Hair shaft  
🗑
Genes determine this by directing the type and amount of pigment that epidermal melanocytes produce   Hair color  
🗑
What hair color has more melanin than blond?   Dark hair  
🗑
This hair color has iron pigment which is not found in any other type of hair color   Red hair  
🗑
A bundle of smooth muscle cells which attach to each hair follicle   Arrector Pili Muscle  
🗑
Consists of nail plate and nail bed   Nails  
🗑
Whitish, thickened, half moon shape region; most active growing region   Lunula  
🗑
Keratinized scales form this   Nail plate  
🗑
These are skin glands   Sebaceous glands and sweat glands  
🗑
Associated with hair follicle; holocrine glands; secrete sebum; makes hair and skin soft   Sebaceous glands  
🗑
Fatty material   Sebum  
🗑
Widespread in skin; consists of tiny tube which originates as a ball-shaped coil in dermis or superficial subcutaneous layer   Sweat Glands  
🗑
Most numerous; respond to body temp; located in forehead, neck, and back   Eccrine Glands  
🗑
Develop a scent as they are metabolized by skin bacteria; activated during puberty   Apocrine Glands  
🗑
Secrets earwax   Ceruminous Glands  
🗑
Secretes milk   Mammary Glands  
🗑
Water and small amounts of salt and wastes (urea and uric acid)   Sweat  
🗑
All people have about same number of melanocytes (differences depend on amount of melanin produced); environmental factors include sunlight, UV Radiation, and x-rays   Skin color  
🗑
Releases heat   Cellular metabolism  
🗑
Most active cells   Major heat producers  
🗑
Vessels dilate (enlarge), releasing heat   Vasodilation  
🗑
Vessels contract (shrink), diverting blood to surface   Vasoconstriction  
🗑
Hypothalamus   Controls body temp  
🗑
Infrared heat rays escape from warmer surfaces to cooler surroundings   Radiation  
🗑
Heat moves from body directly to cooler objects   Conduction  
🗑
Air becomes heated and moves away from body   Convection  
🗑
Sweating   Evaporation  
🗑
Too cold   Hypo  
🗑
Too hot   Hyper  
🗑
Elevated body temp   Hyperthermia  
🗑
Lowered body temp; prolonged exposure to cold; warm gradually   Hypothermia  
🗑
Yellow orange color   Jaundice  
🗑
Blood pigment   Hemoglobin  
🗑
Slightly burned skin may become warm and reddened; surface will shed; no scarring; heals within 2 weeks; SUPERFICIAL PARTIAL-THICKNESS   1st Degree Burn  
🗑
Effects the dermis and epidermis layer of skin; causes pain, redness, swelling, blistering; heals two or three week without scarring/ more than 3 weeks with scarring; changes pigment of skin; does not scar   2nd Degree Burn  
🗑
Rinse Burn with cool water, gently clean with clean water, bandage burn   2nd Degree Burn treatment  
🗑
Destroys epidermis, dermis, and accessory organs of the skin; healing can only occur by growth of epithelial cells inward from the margin of the Burn; injured skin becomes dry and leathery   3rd degree burn  
🗑
Usually caused by immersion in hot liquids or prolonged exposure to hot objects   3rd Degree Burns Cause  
🗑
Cell cycle slows, so skin cells grow larger/irregular shapes; sulfur bond cause skin to appear scaly; dermis becomes reduced because suggests of collagen and elastin slows; fewer #s of lymphocytes cause wounds to not heal as quickly   Life Span  
🗑
Cannot conserve heat by concentrating heat in central areas because of   Lessened vessels  
🗑
Why do some people have darker skin than others?   More melanin  
🗑
People who inherit mutant melanin genes have non pigmented skin   Albinism  
🗑
Normal body temp   37C/98.6F  
🗑
Blood vessels break if _______   Cut extends into dermis or subcutaneous layer  
🗑
Newly formed cells fill the gap if ______   The cut in shallow  
🗑
Blood clots are made of _______ (fibrous protein)   Fibrin  
🗑
Removed dead cells and other debris   Phagocytic cells  
🗑
New tissue is formed and scab falls off, leaving ______   Scab  
🗑
Rounded masses called ______ develop in exposed tissues in large wounds   Granulations  
🗑
Nerve impulses stimulate structures in skin and other organs to release heat in ______   Intense heat  
🗑
Keratinized cells become part of what in the nail?   Nail bed  
🗑
