| visceral pleura | the thin serous membrane that covers the lungs itself |
| parietal pleura | the outer covering of the stick to the inner thoracic wall |
| bursae | A closed sac lined with a synovial membrane filled with fluid found around most major joints of the body |
| epithelial membrane | it is made up of epithelial tissue and an underlying layer of specialized connective tissue |
| three types of epithelial membranes | 1. Cutaneous membrane 2. Serous membrane 3. Mucouse membrane |
| cutaneous membrane | the skin |
| mucous membrane | a mucus-secreting membrane lining all bodily passages that are open to the air, as parts of the digestive and respiratory tracts |
| dermal papillae | small, nipple-like extensions of the dermis into the epidermis |
| stratum corneum | outermost layer of the epidermis and protects underlying tissue from infection, dehydration |
| subcutaneous layer | underlying layer of the skin consisting mainly of fat tissue, nerves, blood vessels and lymph channels to provide a cushion for delicate organs |
| stratum germinativum | deepest layer of the skin. Its main function is to help the skin regenerate |
| hair papilla | hair growth begins |
| hair shaft | the nongrowing portion of a hair that protrudes from the skin, from the follicle |
| hair follicle | part of the skin that grows hair by packing old cells together |
| lanugo | the fine hair on the body of a fetus and newborn |
| hair root | below the surface of the skin |
| arrector pili | is a muscle found near the hair follicles of all mammals that makes the hair stand on end |
| sebaceous glands | produce oil called sebum that moves up hair follicles to the surface of the skin, where the oil lubricates skin and hair |
| eccrine glands | are sweat glands that are not connected to hair follicles |
| endocrine glands | secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct |
| apocrine glands | large sweat gland that produces fluid located in hairy regions of the body |
| free nerve endings | brings information from the body's periphery toward the brain |
| Pacinian corpuscle | capable of detecting touch, pressure and vibration |
| Krause's end bulb | thermoreceptors in the body that help the body detect cold temperatures |
| Meissner's corpuscle | capable of detecting light touch |
| Rule of nines | body is divided into 11 areas of 9% each, 1% located around genitals |
| first degree burn | only the surface layers of the epidermis involved |
| second degree burn | involves the deep epidermal layers |
| third degree burn (full thickness burn) | complete destruction of the epidermis and dermis |
| keratin | making up the outer layer of human skin |
| nail bed | The formative layer of cells at the base of the fingernail or toenail |
| lunula | crescent shape area near root of nail |
| cuticle | outermost layer of the skin |
