Question
Answer
Functions of the Integumentary System?   show
🗑
show - Keratin (tough protein helps to provide a durable overcoat for the body, protects deeper cells from the hostile environment)  
🗑
What plays an important role in regulating heat loss from the body surface?   show
🗑
what alerts us to bumps and presence of tissue damaging factors as well as to the feel of wind in our hair and caress?   show
🗑
show - consists of " keratanized", stratified squamous epithelial cells. - composed of 5 layers of bed sheets. (stratum basale,spinosum,granulosum,lucidum and corneum) - Avascular (no blood supply)  
🗑
show - Keratinocytes ( keratin cells) are cells that produce keratin, fibrous protein that makes the epidermis a tough protective layer.  
🗑
show - Stratum Basale, contains epidermal cells that receive nourishment through diffusion of nutrients from the dermis. - constantly dividing by mitosis. - contains live cells. - alternate name " stratum germinativum" means germinating layer.  
🗑
Stratum Spinosum (spiky) ?   show
🗑
Stratum Granulosum?   show
🗑
show - dead cells - found in hairless, thick skin (palms of hands and soles of feet) -  
🗑
show - top most layer (dead cells) - 20-30 cell layers thick - dead cell remnants cornified or corny cells (cornu= horn) are filled with Keratin. - -  
🗑
show - the stratum corneum rubs and flakes slowly which is dandruff. - average person sheds 40lb of flakes in a lifetime. - new cells are replaced by the stratum basale in 25 to 45 days.  
🗑
How is Melanin produced?   show
🗑
show - when skin is exposed to sunlight this causes the melanocytes to produce melanin which gives the body a tan.  
🗑
Dermis?   show
🗑
show - upper dermal region has projections called dermal papillae. - contain capillary loops which furnish nutrients to the epidermis. - house pain receptors ( free nerve endings) and touch receptors ( meissners corpuscles)  
🗑
reticular layer in the dermis?   show
🗑
What aids in maintaining body temperature in the dermis?   show
🗑
Hypodermis?   show
🗑
Hair Root Plexus?   show
🗑
Sebaceous Gland (exocrine glands) ?   show
🗑
Sebum (substance made by the Sebaceous gland) ?   show
🗑
Sweat glands?   show
🗑
show - sweat gland that releases to the skin through a duct/pore. - found all over body - produces sweat, a clear secretion containing (water, salts, vit c, traces of metabolic wastes, and lactic acid) - sweat is acidic and inhibits growth of bacteria  
🗑
Aprocrine glands?   show
🗑
Arrector Pili Muscle?   show
🗑
Pacinian Corpuscle?   show
🗑
Meissners Corpuscle?   show
🗑
Keratinocytes?   show
🗑
Langerhans Cells?   show
🗑
show - cells that make melanin  
🗑
Merkel?   show
🗑
