Question
Answer
integument   skin  
🗑
skin is what percent of total body weight?   16%  
🗑
2 components of integumentary system   1. cutaneous membrane (skin) 2. accessory structures (hair, nails, glands)  
🗑
hypodermis   deep to dermis, consists of adipose and areolar tissue (subcutaneous layer)  
🗑
functions of skin & hypodermis   protection of underlying tissue, excretion of salt/waste, maintain body temp, produce melanin, produce keratin, synthesize vit D3, storage of lipids, detection of touch/pressure  
🗑
which layer of skin is avascular and receives nutrients through diffusion from other layers?   epidermis is avascular and gets nutrients through diffusion from dermis.  
🗑
melanin protects from?   UV radiation (sunlight)  
🗑
keratin   protein that makes skin resistant to abrasion and water. Hair and nails are made of keratin.  
🗑
thin skin   four layers, covers entire body except palms and soles of feet.  
🗑
thick skin   five layers, covers soles of feet and palms of hands  
🗑
stratum   latin for "layer"  
🗑
layers of epidermis from superficial to deepest   stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale, basement membrane, dermis  
🗑
stratum basale   innermost layer of epidermis that attaches to basement membrane between dermis and epidermis  
🗑
basal cells   stem cells that divide and replace the more superficial keratinocytes in the superior layers of the epidermis  
🗑
stratum basale is mostly made of what type of cells?   basal cells (epidermal skin cells)  
🗑
stratum spinosum   the 2nd layer of the epidermis (from the bottom). daughter cells from the basal cells of the stratum basale are pushed up into the stratum spinosum  
🗑
stratum granulosum   third layer of epidermis (from the bottom). cells in this layer have stopped dividing and produce lots of keratin.  
🗑
stratum lucidum   the extra layer of epidermis that exists only in thick skin of palms and soles of feet. not present in thin skin.  
🗑
stratum corneum   exposed surface layer of all epidermis. cells are keratinized (dry and dead with keratin)  
🗑
insensible perspiration   water loss from interstitial fluids slowly moving to epidermal surface (stratum corneum) and evaporating. accounts for ~500 mL of fluid loss/day  
🗑
sensible perspiration   perspiration that you can feel, produced by sweat glands  
🗑
epidermal reaction to a freshwater bath   freshwater is hypotonic to skin so water moves into epidermal cells causing them to swell.  
🗑
epidermal reaction to salt water   saltwater is hypotonic so water shifts out of the body's cells causing dehydration  
🗑
two pigments found in epidermis   carotine, melanin  
🗑
carotene   orange/yellow pigment in epidermal cells that comes from orange vegetables in diet  
🗑
melanin   brown pigment produced by melanocytes located in the stratum basale (deepest epidermal layer). protects from UV radiation in sunlight.  
🗑
hemoglobin   pigment in red blood cells that binds and transports Oxygen  
🗑
cholecalciferol   a cholesterol based steroid that that the stratum basale (deepest epidermis) produces when exposed to sunlight (aka Vit D3). its needed to absorb calcium.  
🗑
vitamin   essential organic nutrient that must be obtained from diet b/c the body cant synthesize it.  
🗑
rickets   vit D3 (cholecalciferol) deficiency in children that leads to weak, flexible bones.  
🗑
dermis   lies between epidermis and hypodermis  
🗑
epidermis   top layer of integument  
🗑
two layers of dermis   1. papillary (superficial, areolar tissue, capillaries, lymph, nerves) 2. reticular (deep, interwoven mesh of dense irregular connective tissue with collagen & elastic fibers)  
🗑
dermatitis   inflammation of the skin. primarily involves papillary layer of dermis. can be painful or itchy (poison ivy)  
🗑
Dermal strength and elasticity comes from...   collagen (strength) and elastic fibers (flexibility) found in the reticular (deep) layer  
🗑
skin turgor   flexibility and resilience provided by water content of the skin. Skin loses resilience with dehydration  
🗑
cleavage lines   fibers of the dermis run in parallel bundles that resist forces of normal movement. a cut parallel to these lines heals well, cut perpendicular scars badly  
🗑
hypodermis   not technically part of integument system. layer of areolar and adipose tissue deep to dermis that stabilizes skin but allows for independent mvmt from underlying tissues  
🗑
subcutaneous injection   injection into hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue)  
🗑
root hair plexus   nerve that innervates each hair follicle allowing you to feel movement of a single hair  
🗑
arrector pili   smooth muscle that contracts pulling on the hair follicle making the hair stand up.  
🗑
hair root   anchors hair to skin  
🗑
hair shaft   part of the hair that extends beyond the surface of the skin  
🗑
avg healthy adult loses approx __ hairs per day?   100  
🗑
sebaceous gland   oil glands. discharge oily lipid secretion (sebum) into hair follicles  
🗑
sebum   the oily lipid secretion discharged by sebaceous glands  
🗑
sebaceous follicle   large sebaceous glands. not associated with hair follicles. discharge sebum directly onto skin surface.  
🗑
sudoriferous gland   sweat gland  
🗑
two types of sudoriferous (sweat) glands   1. apocrine sweat gland- secretes into hair follicle (pubes, armpits, nipples) 2. merocrine sweat gland- secrete onto skin surface  
🗑
ceruminous glands   modified sweat glands in the ear canal whose secretions mix with sebacious gland secretions producing cerumen (ear wax)  
🗑
cerumin   ear wax  
🗑
nail body   visible portion of the finger/toe nail  
🗑
nail bed   epidermis protected by nail body  
🗑
nail root   where nail growth occurs. extends under skin, almost to finger bone.  
🗑
eponychium   cuticle of nail  
🗑
fibrin   fibrous protein that forms in blood creating a clot  
🗑
granulation tissue   blood clot, fibroblasts and capillary network during tissue healing  
🗑
scar tissue   inflexible, fibrous, non-cellular tissue that forms after an inury  
🗑
keloid   thick, raised area of scar tissue  
🗑


   

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.
