        Help!  

Question
Answer
the functions of the integumentary system   sensory perception, protection, excretion, immunity, blood reservoir, vitamin D synthesis, thermoregulation  
🗑
2 tissues that make up skin   epidermis and dermis  
🗑
the epidermis is ________ tissue   Epithelial  
🗑
the 4 cell types that make up the epidermis   keratinocytes, melanocytes, merkel, langerhans  
🗑
cell responsible for the formation of keratin   keratinocytes  
🗑
cell is responsible for the formation of melanin   melanocytes  
🗑
a role of langerhans cells   immune response  
🗑
a role of merkel cells   sensory perception (touch)  
🗑
layer of the epidermis composed of newly formed keratinocytes, melanocytes, and a high concentration of Langerhans' cells   stratum spinosum  
🗑
layer of the epidermis composed of dying keratinocytes and acts as a water-repelling sealant slowing the loss of body fluids   stratum granulosum  
🗑
the deepest epidermal layer, produces new keratinocytes   stratum basale  
🗑
the most superficial layer of the epidermis, composed of dead keratinocytes   stratum corneum  
🗑
the two dermis layers   Papillary and Reticular  
🗑
The thin layer of dermis containing a woven mat of collagen and rich in elastic fibers, responbible for 'fingerprints'   Papillary  
🗑
The dense irregular connective tissue layer of the dermis, made up of coarse elastic fibers, containing sweat glands, hair follicles   Reticular  
🗑
Name the three pigment skin color.   Melanin, Carotene, and Hemoglobin  
🗑
the pigment that is yellow to reddish-brown to black in color   melanin  
🗑
the fat reservoir that is just underneath, but not a part of, the skin   the hypodermis  
🗑
some of the roles of the hypodermis   fat storage reservoir, supplies blood to the skin, an energy reserve, insulating layer  
🗑
example of the skin function of excretion   sweating  
🗑
an example of the skin function of sensory perception   touch / pressure / pain / sense of heat and cool  
🗑
the dermis is ___________ tissue   connective  
🗑
the function of the collagen and elastic fibers in the reticular region of the dermis   provides the skin with strength, elasticity, extensibility  
🗑
The epidermis and dermis are both highly _________ with sensory and motor neurons   innervated  
🗑
While the dermis is ___________ , the epidermis is _____________   vascularized , avascular  
🗑
some of the exocrine glands associated with the skin   sebaceous, sudoriferous, ceruminous, mammary  
🗑
Where sebaceous glands are NOT found   The palms and soles.  
🗑
sebaceous glands are located...   In the dermis.  
🗑
The oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands   Sebum.  
🗑
What are sudoriferous glands...where are they mostly found...and name two types ....   Sweat glands, found in the dermis and hypodermis, two types are eccrine and apocrine  
🗑
the two main functions of the eccrine sweat glands   To regulate body temperature through water evaporation, and to eliminate small amounts of metabolic waste  
🗑
When apocrine sweat glands are activated   At puberty  
🗑
stimulators of the secretory functions of the apocrine sweat glands   Emotional stress and sexual excitement  
🗑
Where are ceruminous glands located, and what do they do?   in the external ear, they produce a waxy secretion called cerumen  
🗑
Where are mammary glands found, what are they responsible for?   Associated to the female reproductive system, responsible for production and secretion of milk  
🗑
'normal' body temperature?   Approximately 37*C  
🗑
Define THERMOREGULATION   the homeostatic regulation of body temperature (an equilibrium between the amount of heat produced by the body and the amount of heat dissipated in the environment)  
🗑
Name 4 levels (stratum) of the epidermis   corneum, granulosum, spinosum, basale  
🗑
some of the hypothalamus' responses to a rise in body heat   blood vessel vasodilation, increase sweating (by eccrine glands), increase heart rate to speed up blood flow, increase respiratory rate  
🗑
some of the hypothalamus' responses to a loss in body heat   blood vessel vasoconstriction, inhibiting sweat glands (eccrine), stimulate muscles to shiver, trigger goosebumps, slow cardiac and respiratory rate  
🗑
physiological effects of massage on the integumentary system   increase in skin temperature and suppleness, increase oxygen and nutrient supply, stimulates transit of metabolic waste, breaks adhesions, realigns collagen fibers, desensitize sensory receptors, lubricates and hydrates  
🗑
gives skin a yellow/orange pigment   carotene  
🗑
gives skin a yellow-ish white to pink pigment   hemaglobin  
🗑
functions of keratin   protects skin from heat and pathogens, aids to waterproof  
🗑
function of melanin   produce pigment and absorb UV rays  
🗑
function of merkel cells   sense perception (touch)  
🗑
function of langerhans   participate in skin immune response  
🗑
