(T/F) a burn that involved the epidermis only is called a deep partial-thickness burn false
(T/F) the stratum basale is the deepest layer of epidermis. the cells of the stratum basale rest on the basement membrane and grow and divide to replenish the skin cells in the epidermis. the s.b. is an organ false
the human integumentary system includes... skin, nails, hair follicles, and sweat glands
injections that are administered into the tissues of the skin are called... intradermal
the dermis is composed largely of... dense irregular connective tissue
characteristics of the skin - the dermis is thicker than the epidermis - the epidermis is composed of stratified squamous epithelium - the dermis contains smooth muscle and nervous tissue
exposure to ultraviolet light darkens skin by stimulating synthesis of... melanin
the subcutaneous layer consists of... areolar and adipose tissue
skin cells play an important role in producing... vitamin d
the functions of skin include... acting as protective barrier, housing sensory receptors, regulating body temperature
eccrine sweat glands differ from sebaceous glands... in the type of secretion, their location, and whether or not they are associated with hair follicles
4 major types of tissues - epithelial - connective - muscle - nervous
desmosomes - structural reinforcement - cardiac muscle/bladder tissue, epithelial
gap junctions - tubular channels between cells; molecules can move between cells - cardiac muscle cells
simple squamous - irregular shaped, one layer - passes in easily - found in diffusion and filtration - lines air sacs, capillaries, blood and lymphatic vessels
simple cuboidal - box shaped, one layer - secretion and absorption - covers ovaried, lines ducts of some glands
simple columnar - column shaped, one layer - secretion and absorption - lines uterus, stomach, and intestines
pseudostratified columnar - false layer - protect from infection - lines respiratory passageways
stratified squamous - multiple layers - new cells push older cells up and out - lines oral cavity, vagina, anal canal
stratified cuboidal - multiple layers - lines ducts of mammary glands, sweat and salivary glands, and pancreas
stratified columnar - multiple layers - lines part of male urethra, ducts of exocrine glands
transitional (uroepitehlium) - changes shape with increased tension, stretches - lines urinary bladder, ureters, and part of urethra
endocrine - goes in - secretes into tissue fluid/blood
exocrine - goes out - secrete into ducts that open on surfaces
merocrine glandular secretion secrete fluids products by exosytosis
apocrine glands lose small part of cell during secretion
holocrine glands release entire cell filled with product
fibroblasts - largest producer of collagen - respond to injury and help repair
macrophages - eat bad guys - defend against infection
mast cells - releases heparin to prevent clotting - release histamine (causes inflammatory response)
collagen fibers - make >60% of protein in bone and cartilage
loose connective tissues - areolar - adipose - reticulum
dense connective tissues - dense regular - dense irregular - elastic
areolar - forms delicate, thin membranes - in subcutaneous layer
adipose - stores fat, cushions and insulation - beneath skin (subcutaneous layer)
reticular - supports walls of internal organs

when body is too hot, it responds with ... of dermal blood vessels vasodilation and vasoconstriction
methods of heat production and loss - radiation (primary; infrared) - conduction (moves heat from skin to cooler area) - convention (heat loss into circulating air currents) - evaporation (sweat changes into gas)
what happens when body temp rises - thermoreceptors signal hypothalamus - vasodilation of dermal blood vessels - sweat glands are activated
what happens when body temp falls - thermoreceptors signal hypothalamus - vasoconstriction of dermal blood vessels - sweat glands are inactive
hyperthermia - high body temp - body temperature may gain heat from hotter air
hypothermia - low body temp - without treatment, the organs would shut down
