Skin and its Appendages

        Help!  

Question/Term
Answer
show Skin (Integument)  
🗑
show Skin and its appendages: hair, nails, and skin glands  
🗑
What is skin classified as?   show
🗑
show Epidermis and dermis  
🗑
show Dermoepidermal junction  
🗑
show Lies beneath dermis (insulation, rich in fat and loose connective tissue  
🗑
show Thick and thin skin  
🗑
Keratinocytes   show
🗑
show Pigment producing cells (5% of total; contribute to skin color and filter ultraviolet light  
🗑
Epidermal dendritic cells   show
🗑
show Attach to sensory nerve endings to form "light touch" receptors  
🗑
Dermal papillae   show
🗑
Tactile   show
🗑
show Single layer of columar cells; only these cells undergo mitosis and then migrate through the other layers until they are shed  
🗑
Stratum spinosum (spiny layer)   show
🗑
Stratum germinativum   show
🗑
Stratum granulosum (granular layer)   show
🗑
Stratum lucidum (clear layer)   show
🗑
show Most superficial layer, dead cells filled with keratin (barrier area)  
🗑
show Turnover or regeneration time referred to time required for epidermal cells to form in stratum basale and migrate to the skin surface  
🗑
show Regulates epidermal growth and repair  
🗑
Callus formation   show
🗑
Amount of stratum basale cells to enter mitosis daily   show
🗑
Epidermal proliferating unit   show
🗑
show A basement membrane with unique fibrous elements and a polysaccharide gel "glue" the epidermis to the dermis below. The junction is a partial barrier to the passage of some cells and large molecules  
🗑
Dermis   show
🗑
Structures in dermis   show
🗑
Papillary layer   show
🗑
Reticular layer   show
🗑
show Papillary layer Reticular layer  
🗑
The dermis does not   show
🗑
show fibroblasts begin forming and unusually dense mass of new connective fibers; if not replaced by normal tissue, this mass remains a scar  
🗑
Cleavage lines   show
🗑
show aka subcautaneous layer or superficial fascia (connective tissue) located deep to the dermis; forms connection between skin and other structures; not part of the skin  
🗑
Melanin   show
🗑
Types of melanin   show
🗑
Eumelanin   show
🗑
Pheomelanin   show
🗑
Melanosomes   show
🗑
Melanosomes are ingested by   show
🗑
show congenital absence of melanin  
🗑
Age spots   show
🗑
Skin color   show
🗑
Beta-carotene   show
🗑
Hemoglobin   show
🗑
show blood flow increase to the skin (dilate blood vessels)  
🗑
Cyanosis   show
🗑
Bruising   show
🗑
Functions of the skin Protection   show
🗑
show formed by mixing of residue and secretions of sweat and sebacaous glands with sloughed epithelial cells from skin surface  
🗑
Desquamation   show
🗑
Functions of surface film   show
🗑
Chemical composition from epithelial elements   show
🗑
Chemical composition from sebum   show
🗑
Chemical composition from sweat   show
🗑
Sensation of the skin   show
🗑
Flexibility of the skin   show
🗑
show Phagocytic cells destroy bacteria. Epidermal dendritic cells trigger helpful immune reaction working with helper T cells  
🗑
show To maintain homeostasis of body temperature, heat production must equal heat loss; skin plays a critical role in this process  
🗑
Heat production   show
🗑
show Water, Urea/ammonia/uric acid  
🗑
Vitamin D production   show
🗑

🗑
Convection   show
🗑
Heat loss by the skin is controlled by   show
🗑
show Receptors in the hypothalamus  
🗑
show hair follicles and hair develop from epidermis; mitosis of cells of germinal matrix forms hairs  
🗑
Lanugo   show
🗑
Terminal hair   show
🗑
show cluster of capillaries under germinal matrix  
🗑
Root   show
🗑
show visible part of hair (dead)  
🗑
Medulla   show
🗑
cortex   show
🗑
show result of different amounts, distribution, types of melanin in cortex of hair  
🗑
Growth   show
🗑
show Skin oil  
🗑
