ADIPOSE | CONNECTIVE TISSUE FOUND IN THE SUBCUTANEOUS LAYER OF THE SKIN CONNECTS THE SKIN TO THE MUSCLE BENEATH |
BASAL CELL CARCINOMA | SURVIVAL RATE IS 99%FORM OF SKIN CANCER THAT RESULTS IN UNABLE TO KERATINIZE AND RISING TO THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN TO SHINY NODULES MOST FOUND ON FACE AND EARS |
DERMIS | SECOND LAYER OF SKIN IT CONTAINS BLOOD VESSELS NERVES HAIR FOLLICLES AND GLANDS THIS LAYER GIVES SKIN ITS STRENGTH AND ELASTICITY OR THE ABILITY TO STRETCH AND RETURN TO ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE |
EPIDERMIS | OUTER LAYER OF THE SKIN CONTAINS NO BLOOD VESSELS OR GLANDS CELLS OF THIS TISSUE CAN HARDEN MAKING THIS LAYER TOUGH BUT FLEXIBLE IT CAN STRETCH AND RETAIN ITS SHAPE |
KERATINIZE | HARDENING OR THICKENING OF CELLS BY THE PROTEIN KERATIN |
MALIGNANT MELANOMA | SURVIVAL RATE IS 50% RESULTS FROM DAMAGE TO MELANOCYTES APPEARS BROWN SPLOTCH CAN SPREAD QUICKLY TO LYMPH NODES OTHER AREAS OF THE BODY |
MELANIN | BLACK BROWN GREEN YELLOW PIGMENT THAT GIVES COLOR TO SKIN HAIR AND THE IRIS OF THE EYE |
MELANOCYTE | CELLS PRODUCE BLACK BROWN YELLOW OR GREEN PIGMENT THESE CELLS GIVE COLOR TO THE SKIN HAIR AND IRIS OF THE EYE |
RULE OF NINES | DETERMINATION OF HOW MUCH OF THE BODY SURFACE IS BURNED BASED ON DIFFERENT BODY PARTS BEING EQUAL TO 9% |
SEBACEOUS GLAND | PRODUCES OIL |
SEBUM | OIL PRODUCED BY SEBACEOUS GLANDS |
SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA | SECOND MOST COMMON FORM OF SKIN CANCER AFFECTS THE MIDDLE LAYER OF THE EPIDERMIS AND FORMS SCALY PATCHES THAT ULCERATE AND SCAB OVER |
STRATUM CORNEUM | OUTERMOST LAYER OF EPITHELIUM MADE OF KERATINIZED CELLS |
SUBCUTANEOUS OR SUBDERMIS OR HYPODERMIS | INNERMOST LAYER OF SKIN IT HAS CONNECTIVE TISSUE AND ELASTIC FIBERS IT ANCHORS THE SKIN TO THE MUSCLE BENEATH |
SUDORIFEROUS GLAND | PRODUCES SWEAT |

WHEAL | FIRM ELEVATED OFTEN RED ITCHY SWELLING ON THE SKIN THAT USUALLY LASTS 24-48 HR HIVES |
ABSCESS | LOCALIZED COLLECTION OF PUS OCCURS WHEN BACTERIA HAVE ENTERED SKIN THROUGH A WOUND AND CAUSE INFECTION |
ACNE | INFLAMMATION OF THE SKIN RESULTING IN PUSTULAR ERUPTIONS CAUSED BY OVERPRODUCTION OF SEBACEOUS GLANDS IN SKIN MORE COMMON IN ADOLESCENTS |
ALOPECIA | PARTIAL OR COMPLETE ABSENCE OF HAIR BALDNESS CAN BE HEREDITARY DUE TO A SKIN CONDITION OR A SIDE EFFECT OF A DRUG |
CYANOSIS | BLUENESS OF THE SKIN USUALLY CAUSED BY LACK OF OXYGEN |
DERMATITIS | GENERAL TERM FOR INFLAMMATION OF THE SKIN BECAUSE OF AN IRRIANT SUCH AS SOAP PERFUME FABRIC DETERGENT SUNLIGHT MEDICATIONS |
ECCHYMOSIS | BLACK AND BLUE MARK ON THE SKIN CAUSED BY BLOOD VESSEL INJURY ALSO CALLED A BRUISE |

IMPETIGO | INFLAMMATORY SKIN DISEASE THAT RESULTS IN PUSTULES THAT CRUST OVER AND RUPTURE HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS AND OCCURS MOST OFTEN IN CHILDREN |
JAUNDICE | YELLOWNESS OF THE SKIN USUALLY A RESULT OF LIVER MALFUNCTION |
LEUKOTRICHIA | LOSS OF PIGMENTATION TO THE HAIR WHITENING OF THE HAIR MOST OFTEN DUE TO AGE |
