NAU Integumentary System
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Protection, consists of skin, nails, hair, sweat and oil glands. | Integumentary System |
Three Layers of Skin | Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis or Subdermis |
Made up of stratified squamous epithelial cells, is avascular and innovated. | Epidermis |
Many nerve endings for touch. | Innovated |
Separates the epithelial tissue from the connective tissue. | Basement membrane |
Five layers of the epidermis bottom to the top. | Stratum Basale, Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Granulosum, Stratum Lucidum, Stratum Corneum |
Basal Cell Layer, deepest layer. | Stratum Basale |
Many layers of spiny shaped cells with centrally located, large, oval nuclei and developing fibers of keratin; cells becoming flattened. Beneath the stratum granulosum. | Stratum Spinosum |
3-4 layers of flattened granular cells that contain shrunken fibers of keratin and shriveled nuclei. Beneath the stratum lucidum. | Stratum Granulosum |
Cells appear clear; nuclei, organelles and cell membranes are no longer visible. Between stratum corneum and stratum granulosum on soles and palms. | Stratum Lucidum |
Many layers of keratinized, dead epithelial cells that are flattened and nonnucleated. Outermost layer. Is waterproof. | Stratum Corneum |
Vascularized, contains nerve endings, reticulum foundational level. When scratched or lacerated will bleed. Contains glands, melanocytes. Tattoo ink is injected at this level. | Dermis |
Secretes melanin, which gives the skin color. | Melanocytes |
Finger like projections that stick up into the epidermis. Connects the epidermis to the dermis. Also creates fingerprints. Contains messiner's corpuscles. | Dermal papilla |
Creates skin pigment, freckles or age spots. | Melanin |
Receptors which are responsible for touch. | Meissner's Corpuscle |
Contains sudoriferous, sebaceous, sweat glands, hair follicles, pacinian corpuscles, arrector pili muscles and collagen fibers | Reticular Layer |
Fibers that loosen over time | Collagen Fibers |
Muscle that controls hair follicle. Provides protection and heat. Causes goosebumps | Arrector Pili Muscle |
Receptors which are responsible for pressure | Pacinian Corpuscle |
Insulating layers, contains adipose and is injection site. | Subcutaneous or Hypodermis Layer |
Skin accessories | Sebaceous glands, Sudoriferous glands, modified sudoriferous glands, hair and nails |
Skin Functions | Protections against infection, protection against dehydration, regulation of body temperature and collection of sensory information. |
Types of Skin Lesions | Surface Lesions, Deep Lesions and Burns |
Types of sudoriferous glands | Eccrine and apocrine glands |
Types of modified sudoriferous glands | Ceruminous, ciliary glands and mammary glands |
Consists of hair | Shaft, root and arrector pili muscle |
Makes up the nail | Nail root, nail bed, nail plate, luna and cuticle |
Types of surface lesions | Macule, papule, vesicle and pustule |
Types of deep lesions | Excoriation, laceration, ulcer and fissure |
Types of burns | First, Second and third degree |
Secretes sebum(oil); keeps skin and nails moisturized | Sebaceous glands |
Sweat glands, secretes odor and sweat | Sudoriferous glands |
Secretes products directly to the skin | Eccrine glands |
Secretes product and the apex of cell via the hair follicle | Apocrine glands |
Secretes earwax | Ceruminous glands |
Small glands along eyelash line and secrete moisture | Ciliary glands |
Modified sweat glands, secretes milk | Mammary glands |
Portion of the hair that sticks above the scalp | Shaft |
Underneath the scalp, hair with bulb | Hair root |
Growth underneath the skin | Nail root |
Overlies the surface of skin, tissue layer under nail plate | Nail bed |
Hard nail surface provides a protective covering | Nail plate |
White, half-moon section of the nail | Luna |
Protects the nail from bacteria | Cuticle |
What determines skin coloring | Genetics, Environmental factors and physiological factors |
Not raised, but a flat colored spot. Example: freckles | Macule |
Firm raised spots on the skin. Example: Warts, moles and skin tags | Papule |
Clear, raised, fluid filled lesion. Example: blisters | Vesicle |
Milky, fluid filled sac on the skin. Example: pimple | Pustule |
Scoring or scratching of the skin | Excoriation |
Deeper tearing of the skin, creates a ragged edge | Laceration |
Sore associated with disintegration or death of a tissue | Ulcer |
Crack or an even split into deep tissue. Example: bad athlete's foot | Fissure |
Number determines the layer | Burns |
Just involving the epidermis. Ex: Sunburn | First degree burns |
Involved the epidermis and the dermis, usually involves blisters | Second degree burns |
Destruction of the entire skin, leading to scarring | Third Degree Burns |
Forms when there is a loss of blood | Scar |
Events of wound healing | 1. Injury-blood escapes from dermal tissue 2. Blood clot forms 3. Clot & tissue dry to form protective scab 4. Blood vessels send out alternative branches to revascularize the area 5. Fibroblasts reform new connective tissue 6. Scab falls off |
