| Basic keratinocytes and melanocytes are found where? | Stratum Basale |
| What is the purpose of Keratinocytes? | Most numerous skin cell. Contains keratin, a tough protein that protects against abrasion. Also make lamellar granules to make us waterproof. |
| Why are burns so harmful to our bodies? | DEHYDRATION & INFECTION (sepsis) |
| Name the three burn degrees and the layers affected. | 1st: Epidermis layer 2nd: Epidermis and part of the Dermis layer 3rd: Epidermis, Dermis, and Subcutaneous fat is destroyed. GRAFT NECESSARY. |
| What are the two sweat glands called? | Epocrine and Apocrine |
| Apocrine glands are located where? | Armpit, groin, nipples, breast, and beard |
| What causes body odor to occur from apocrine glands? | Milky sweat that mixes with skin bacteria creates BODY ODOR = the ape! |
| What does ear wax do? | Waterproofs the ear canal and prevents bacteria and fungi from entering cells |
| Is ear wax genetic? | YES |
| What are the ceruminous glands? | Modified sweat glands in external ear - MAKE cerumen (earwax) |
| Cerumen | EARWAX: lubricating secretion that combines with Sebaceous secretion. Waterproofs ear and protects it from bacterial infection. |
| What is a nail? | Dead, keratinized epidermal cells that are clear coverings over digits |
| What are the purposes of the nail? | Protect the ends of the fingers and toes Support via counter-pressure Allow us to grasp and manipulate objects Grooming |
| How many layers are in the Epidermal Strata? | 5 layers |
| What layer of the Epidermal stratus is "callus like" | Stratum Corneum ('cornfield') |
| Why is the CORNEUM layer shed off? | It is dead and has no nucleus or any organelles |
| Where is the stratum LUCIDUM found on the body? | fingertips, palms of hands, soles of feet |
| Characteristics of the lucidum layer of the epidermis. | CLEAR layer, only in thick skin (palm and sole), tough! |
| Name the 5 layers of the Epidermal strata | "Boy Saw Girl Look Crazy" Basale - basement Spinosum - spiny Granulosum - granules Lucidum - lucid Corneum - callus like corn means horn |
| What is the MOST COMMON Non-Melanoma skin cancer? | Basal cell carcinoma - doesn't usually metastasize |
| Two types of Non-Melanoma skin cancer. | Basal cell carcinoma (MC) Squamous cell carcinoma (2nd mc) |
| Of the two NON -melanoma skin cancers, which will METASTASIZE | Squamous cell carcinoma |
| What causes MELANOMA skin cancer? | Excessive exposure to UV radiation mostly. |
| Which form of melanoma skin cancer is the MOST deadly? | Melanocyte cancer = MELANOMA fatal in months - metastasizes rapidly |
| An INHERITED inability to produce melanin ? | Albinism - has melanocytes but they don't make melanin (broken melanocytes) |

| Give example of tension lines: | Lines of CLEAVAGE for surgical procedures |
| Why are tension lines important? | Predominate direction of underlying collagen fibers and are important during surgical procedures |
| Where are melanin pigment granules produced and exported? | Produced and exported by MELANOCYTES in the stratum basale (BASEMENT) |

| What is the medical term and definition for pressure ulcers? | DECUBITUS ulcers; Constant deficiency of blood flow to tissues |
| Flattened keratinocytes undergoing apoptosis As move further away from nutritive dermal blood vessels, begin to die as pressed towards surface | TRANSITION layer between living and dying cells - where programmed cell death (APOTOSIS) occurs = stratum GRANULOSUM! (middle age) |
| Keratinocytes produce lamellar granules (Rain - X or waterproofing) at this layer | Stratum granulosum |
| THORN-like; flattened top/superficial layers adds STRENGTH and flexibility to skin ? | Stratum Spinosum |
| The pigment-producing cells of the epidermis (MELANOCYTES) are located in which layer? | Stratum basale |
| Which layer marks the TRANSITION between metabolically active cells of lower layers and the dead layers of keratinocytes of the upper layers. | Stratum granulosum |
| What is the process of keratinization? | When cells are pushed to the surface obtaining more and more keratin and die off (apoptosis) |
