Integumentary System Chapter 6. Anatomy and Physiology MCB 244 UIUC

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
epidermis   epithelium of the integument; keratinized stratified squamous epithelium  
🗑
Stratum Basale   (5)deepest epidermal layer; single layer of cuboidal to low columnar cells attached to an underlying basement membrane. Three cell types occupy: keratinocytes, melanocytes, Tactile cells  
🗑
Keratinocytes   most abundant cell type in the epidermis. Dominated by large keratinocyte stem cells. Synthesize keratin, a protein that strengthens the epidermis  
🗑
Melanocytes   long branching processes and are scattered among the keratinocytes. Produce and store the melanin pigment in response to UV light. Transfer in melanosomes to the keratinocytes in the basal layer. is near nucleus to prevent UV damage  
🗑
Tactile Cells   Merkel cells, sensitive to touch and when compressed release chemicals that stimulate sensory nerve endings, providing info about objects touching the skin  
🗑
Stratum Spinosum   (4)several layer of polygonal keratinocytes (spiny layer) once new cells enter the SS it begins to differentiate. Non-dividing keratinocytes attach to neighbors by desmosomes. Contains epidermal dendritic cells : immune cells , protect against pathogens  
🗑
Stratum Granulosum   (3) 3 to 5 layers of keratinocytes; cells undergo keratinization, cells begin to die  
🗑
Stratum Lacidum   (2)clear layer; thin translucent region of 2 to 3 cell layers. found onlt in thick skin within the palms of the hands and the soles of feet. Protect from UV light  
🗑
Stratum Corneum   (1) hornlike layer; most superficial layer; 20-30 layers of dead keratinized cells. Anucleate  
🗑
Thick skin   found on palm of hands and soles of feet. 5 layers in epidermal strata occur. Houses sweat gland but has no hair follicles or sebaceous glands.  
🗑
Thin skin   covers most of the body, lacks stratum lucidum, only 4 layers; contains hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands.  
🗑
skin color   combination of hemoglobin, melanin and carotene  
🗑
Melanin   pigment produced and stored in melanocytes. amount is determined by heredity and light exposure  
🗑
Carotene   yell orange pigment acquired from various vegetables; accumulates in keratinocytes of stratum corneum and subcutaneous fat  
🗑
Albinism   inherited recessive condition where enzyme needed to produce melanin is non functional.  
🗑
nevus   mole, harmless localized overgrowth of melanocytes. rare can become malignant from UV light exposure  
🗑
freckels   yellow brown spots that represent localized areas of increased melanocyte activity, not an increase of melanocyte numbers  
🗑
Hemangioma   anomaly that results in skin discoloration due to blood vessels that proliferate to form a benign tumor  
🗑
capillary hemangiomas   strawberry colored birthmarks appear as red to deep purple that are usually present at birth and disappear in childhood  
🗑
Cavernous hemangiomas   port wine stains involve larger dermal blood vessels and may last a lifetime  
🗑
friction ridges   fingers, palms, soles and toes. Ridges from large folds and valleys of dermis and epidermis; help increase friction  
🗑
Dermis   deep to epidermis, CT proper and collagen fibers; dendritic cells as immune function; blood vessels, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, nail roots, sensory nerve endings and arrector pili. papillary vs reticular  
🗑
Papillary layer of dermis   superficial region of dermis, areolar CT ; name from projections of dermis called dermal papillae; dermal papillae contain capillaries that supply nutrients and surface nerve endings  
🗑
Reticular layer of dermis   major portion of dermis, dense irregular CT, large bundles of collagen fibers project in all directions, "network" of collagen fibers  
🗑
Subcutaneous layer   not considered part of the integument; areolar CT and adipose CT; protects energy reservoir, provides thermal insulation  
🗑
Vitamin D3   cholecalciferol; synthesized from a steroid precursor by keratinocytes when exposed to UV light. Increases absorption of Ca and phosphate from small intestine into blood, regulates levels in blood  
🗑
Functions of Integument   Protection, prevention of h2o loss and gain, metabolic regulation (d3), secretion and absorption, immune function, temp regulation, sensory reception  
🗑
Vasoconstriction   diameter of vessels narrow, less blood can travel through; net effect shunting of blood away from periphery and toward deeper structures, CONSERVING HEAT ; EXPOSURE TO COLD  
🗑
Vasodilation   diameter increases so more blood can travel through , excess heat can be lost is body is too warm , pink skin  
🗑
Hair   pilus, composed of keratinized cells growing from hair follicles that extend deep into demris  
🗑
Lanugo   fine, unpigmented downy hair that appears on the fetus in the last trimester  
🗑
Vellus   replaces lanugo, found on upper and lower limbs  
🗑
Terminal hair   coarser, pigmented and longer than vellus; grows on scalp, eyebrow hair and eyelashes; at puberty replaces vellus hair in the axillary and pubic regions and forms beard on faces  
🗑
Functions of Hair   protection; facial expression; heat retention, sensory reception, visual identification; chemical signal dispersal  
🗑
Hair color   result of melanin synthesis; aging decreases production of pigment  
🗑
Hair growth and replacement   Anagen, catagen, telogen  
🗑
Anagen Phase   acitve phase of growth where living cells of the hair bulb are rapidly growing, dividing and transforming into hair  
🗑
Catagen phase   brief regression period where cell division ceases and follicle undergoes involution  
🗑
Telogen phase   resting phase, hair is shed. After 3 to 4 months follicle reenter the anagen phase  
🗑
Alopecia   thinning of hair usually as a result of aging , both sexes  
🗑
Diffuse Hair lose   hair is shed from all parts of scalp. Women usually suffer due to hormones, drugs or iron deficiency  
🗑
Male pattern baldness   loss of hair first form crown region; caused by genetic and hormonal influences  
🗑
hirsutism   excessive male pattern hairiness in areas of the body that normally do not have terminal hair; growth on face, chest and back and can affect both sexes; commonly caused by excess of male sex hormones (androgens) through medical conditions or medications  
🗑
Fibrosis   too much damage; body fills gap with scar tissue (fibrous) replacement scar tissue is produced by fibroblasts and is composed of collagen fibers. Structural but not functional restoration  
🗑
Reneration   cut blood vessels bleed into wound, blood clot forms and leukocytes clean wound; blood vessels regrow and granulation tissue forms; epithelium regenerates and CT fibrosis occurs  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
