Question
Answer
show The skin and it's accessory structures (derivatives)  
🗑
show Means the same as "skin"; Largest organ in the body (7-8% total weight of the body). Two Layers: Epidermis and Dermis  
🗑
Epidermis   show
🗑
Dermis   show
🗑
Hypodermis (subcutaneous layer)   show
🗑
Integument Function   show
🗑
Epidermis Strata Layers (from most superficial to deepest)   show
🗑
Stratum Corneum   show
🗑
Stratum Lucidum   show
🗑
show AKA Granular layer; 3-5 layers of keratinocytes; As they migrate from blood supply organelles begin to degrade and cytoplasm fills with concentrated keratin;Fully ketatinized cells are dead but strong and highly water-insoluble.  
🗑
show AKA Spiny layer; Several layers thick; 2 types of cells (Keratinocytes and Epidermal dendritic)  
🗑
show The skin and it's accessory structures (derivatives)  
🗑
Integument   show
🗑
Epidermis   show
🗑
show Deeper layer of dense irregular connective tissue  
🗑
show A third layer (not considered part of the integument) lies deep to the dermis. Consists mostly of adipose connective tissue.  
🗑
Integument Function   show
🗑
Epidermis Strata Layers (from most superficial to deepest)   show
🗑
show Most superficial layer of epidermis; Thickness varies from a few to 30 layers thick depending on location on the body; Anucleate (a "everything" but keratin for that matter); Comprised solely of dead keratinocytes to be sloughed off by abrasion of skin.  
🗑
show Thin, translucent region, 2-3 layers thick; Sole of feet and palms of hands (calluses); Cells devoid of organelles but filled with ELEIDIN which is a transparent, intermediate product of keratin maturation.  
🗑
Stratum Granulosum   show
🗑
Stratum Spinosum   show
🗑
Keratinocytes (Stratum Spinosum)   show
🗑
show Phagocytitic and engulf invading pathogens  
🗑
Stratum Basale   show
🗑
Keratinocytes (Stratum Basale)   show
🗑
show Have long branching cytoplasmic processes that are distributed throughout this cell layer; Produce melanosomes; Absorbs energy from the UV light thus preventing damage to DNA of cells in this layer, possibly preventing a form of skin cancer  
🗑
Melanosomes   show
🗑
Tactile Cells (Stratum Basale)   show
🗑
show Superficial layer; Directly adjacent to stratum basale; Dermal papillae & epidermal ridges interlock to increase surface area exposure between the epidermis and dermis; Dermal papillae contain capillaries that supply nutrients to avascular epidermal cells  
🗑
Reticular Layer   show
🗑
Lines of Cleavage   show
🗑
Innervation   show
🗑
show Unlike the avascular epidermis, the dermis contains blood vessels; These blood vessels have important role in controlling body temperature (Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation)  
🗑
show Narrowing of blood vessels thus preserving core body heat  
🗑
Vasodilation   show
🗑
show Nails, Hair, Sweat and Sebaceous Glands  
🗑
Nail Matrix   show
🗑
Lunula   show
🗑
show Keratinized cells growing from a hair follicle that extends deep into the dermis or hypodermis; Three zones along the length of a hair (Hair bulb, Hair root, Hair shaft)  
🗑
Hair Bulb   show
🗑
show Dividing epithelial cells that generate daughter cells resulting in growth or lengthening of the hair  
🗑
show Consists of a small amount of connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels that support the dividing epithelial cells within the hair matrix  
🗑
Arrector Pili Muscle   show
🗑
Function of Hair   show
🗑
Integumentary Exocrine Glands   show
🗑
show Produce a watery solution  
🗑
show Produce an oily secretion that coats hair shafts and the surface of the epidermis  
🗑
show External ear  
🗑
Mammary   show
🗑
show Merocrine sweat glands; Apocrine sweat glands  
🗑
Sweat Duct   show
🗑
show Simple coiled tubular glands; release secretion directly onto surface of skin (pore is the opening); Most numerous; Found mostly on palms of hands, soles of feet and forehead; Secretion is under nervous system control; Secretion is clear and is 99% H2O  
🗑
show Thermoregulation; Excretion; Protection  
🗑
Apocrine Sweat Gland   show
🗑
Sebaceous Gland   show
🗑
Ceruminous Gland   show
🗑
Mammary Gland   show
🗑
