Question
Answer
Keratinocytes   show
🗑
show - stratum corneum - stratum lucidum (only in thick skin) - stratum granulosum - stratum spinosum - stratum basale  
🗑
show - deepest layer of the epidermis - single row of stem cells that make up the youngest keratinocytes - active cell division - attached to underlying dermis - rely on capillaries in dermis for nutrients  
🗑
show - found in stratum basale - associated with sensory nerve endings  
🗑
show - make melanin and transport it to nearby keratocytes - respond to UV radiation by increasing production of melanin and transporting to nearby keratocytes--> suntan  
🗑
show - shields the cell nuclei from incoming UV radiation - more melanin in each melanocyte --> darker skin - most abundant skin pigment  
🗑
show - several layers of keratinocytes connected by desmosomes - mitosis occurs, but less than in stratum basale - relies on capillaries in underlying dermis for nutrients - thick bundles of intermediate filaments that contain tension resisting pre-keratin  
🗑
Dendritic cells   show
🗑
Stratum granulosum   show
🗑
Stratum lucidum (thick skin only)   show
🗑
Stratum corneum   show
🗑
show - located just below the dermal papillae - supplies superficial dermal tissue, dermal papillae, and epidermis  
🗑
dermal plexus   show
🗑
show - made up of areolar CT proper - contains dermal papillae  
🗑
dermal papillae   show
🗑
show - 80% of thickness of the dermis - dense irregular CT - thick bundles of interlacing collagen and elastic fibers - separations between collagen bundles form cleavage lines - extreme stretching can tear the collagen, causing stretch marks  
🗑
flexure lines   show
🗑
show - deep to the skin - also called superficial fascia - contains areolar and adipose CT - anchors skin to underlying structures - helps insulate the body  
🗑
types of skin pigments   show
🗑
show - distal free edge - body - root - nail bed: bed of deep epidermis on which nail rests - nail matrix: thickened proximal end where active nail growth occurs - lunule - nail folds - eponychium  
🗑
show - flexible strand of dead, keratinized cells - root: embedded in the skin - shaft: projects above skin surface  
🗑
show - medulla: central core which consists of large cells and air spaces - cortex: surrounds the medulla and contains several layers of flattened cells - cuticle: outermost layer with single layer of cells that overlap  
🗑
show - connective tissue which is a nipple-like bit of the dermis that protrude into each hair bulb  
🗑
hair matrix   show
🗑
show - extend from epidermis into dermis - associated with arrector pili muscle, which causes hair to stand erect in response to fear, cold, etc.  
🗑
hair cross-sections   show
🗑
Hair color   show
🗑
show - vellus hairs: fine and short body hairs of women and childen - terminal hairs: longer and coarser hair of scalp, axillary, and pubic area in adults  
🗑
Sebaceous glands   show
🗑
Sebum   show
🗑
Eccrine glands (merocrine)   show
🗑
Sweat   show
🗑
show - large sweat glands confined to axillary, anal, & genital areas - ducts open into hair follicles - musky odor - gland activity increases with sexual foreplay - signal information about a person's immune system  
🗑
show - burn where only the epidermis is damaged  
🗑
second degree burn   show
🗑
third degree burn   show
🗑
skin cancer   show
🗑
show - epidermis: develops from ectoderm - dermis and hypodermis: develop from mesoderm - melanocytes: develop from neural crest cells which are ectoderm in origin  
🗑


   

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.
