Originate in bone marrow | Langerhans cell |
Migrate to lymph nodes after ingesting pathogens and present it to lymphocytes | Langerhans cell |
Produce melanin | Melanocytes |
Makes skin, hair and eyes darker | Melanin |
Increased melanin with UV light, protects from UV light by absorbing it | Melanin |
Inner layer | Dermis |
Collagen and elastin make it strong and elastic | Dermis |
Uneven junction between dermis and epidermis | Papilary layer |
Abundant blood supply | Papilary layer |
Structures within the dermis | Papilary layer |
Cover the entire body | Hair follicles |
Within the dermis, but made of epidermal tissue | Hair follicle |
Contains cells called the matrix | Hair root |
Cells die and become the shaft | Hair root |
_____muscle makes hair stand up | Smooth |
Produces keratin for hardness | Nail root |
Cells die to become the ____ | Nail |
Protects the ends of digit | Nail |
Provides info about the environment to the CNS | Receptors |
More sensitive areas have more _____ | Receptors |
Most receptors are in the ______ | Dermis |
Merkel cells are in the ______ | Stratum germinative |
Encapsulated nerve endings | Touch and pressure |
Free nerve endings (not encapsulated) | Heat cold and pain |
Within the skin, but made of epithelial tissue | Glands |
Glands are within the _____ | Skin |
Glands (3) | Sebaceous, Ceruminous, and Sweat glands |
Ducts open into hair follicles | Sebaceous |
Ducts that open directly onto skin surface | Sebaceous |
Oily lipid | Sebum |
Inhibits growth of bacteria | Sebum |
Moisturizes, prevents breaks in the skin | Sebum |
In dermis of ear canal | Ceruminous |
Secreted to make ear waxx | Cerumen |
Over production can cause pain and loss of hearing | Cerumen |
Sweat glands (2) | Apocrine and Eccrine |
Axilla and pubic areas | Apocrine gland |
Most abundant on face and palm and sole of feet | Eccrine gland |
Coiled tube that extends to the surface through duct (pore) | Eccrine gland |
Importand in body temerature regulation | Eccrine gland |
Secretion metabolized by bacteria which produce BO | Apocrine gland |
Activity increased with emotional stress | Apocrine gland |
Small arteries | Arterioles |
Temperature regulation | Blood vessels |
Increase blood flow to surface (flushing) | Vasodialation |
Decrease blood flow to surface (going pale) | Vasoconstriction |
Regulated by CNS and hormones as in “fight or flight” | Blood vessels |
Connective tissue membrane | Subcutaneous tissue |
Loose areolar tissue and adipose | Subcutaneous tissue |
Subcutaneous tissue stores | Fat |
Excretion of waste through sweat | Integumentary system |
Vitamin D synthesis | Integumentarry system |
UV light causes cholesterol to be changed into Vit D | Vitamin D synthesis |
Important for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus | Vitamin D synthesis |
The outter layer of the skin made of stratified Squamous keratinizing epitheliem | Epidermis |
The inner layer of the skin, made of modified fibrous connective tissue | Dermis |
Contains the accessory structures of the skin such as peceptors and sweat glands | Dermis |
Made of areolar connectrive and adipose tissue | Subcutaneous tissue |
Connects the dermis to the muscles and stores fat | Subcutaneous tissue |
The cells that produce collagen and elastin | Fibroblasts |
The protein that gives the dermis its strength | Collagen fibers |
The protein that gives the dermis elasticity | Elastin fibers |
Contains capillaries to nourish the stratum germinative | Papillary glands |
Mitosis at the root produces the hair shaft | Hair follicle |
Mitosis at the root produces the nail | Nail follicle |
