Q

stratum corneum

A

external part of the epidermis

24
Q

bulla

A

large blister

25
located between hypodermis and dermis?
dermal plexus
26
located just below the dermal papillae
subpapillary plexus
27
Two layers of the dermis
papillary | reticular
28
papillary layer
superficial 20% of dermis areolar connective tissue contains very thin collagen and elastic fibers
29
dermal papillae
fingerlike projection that extend into the overlying epidermis
30
What create fingerprints and palm prints?
epidermal ridges or friction ridges
31
reticular layer
80% of the thickness of the dermis denser irregular connective tissue thick bundles of collagen and elastic fibers most parallel to the skin surface
32
Less dense regions between collagen bundles
cleavage lines or tension lines
33
Langerham cells
dendritic cells of skin and mucosa
34
strech marks
striae
35
hypodermis is also called
superficial fascia
36
3 pigments that contribute to skin color
1- melanin 2- carotene 3- hemoglobin
37
What are freckles and moles?
localized accumulations of melanin
38
carotene
yellow-orange pigment that body obtains from vegetables accumulates in stratum corneum
39
hematoma
clotted mass of escaped blood
40
skin appendages
``` nails hair hair follicles sebaceous glands sweat glands ```
41
What is the cuticle called?
eponychium
42
Bone of the fingertip
phalanx
43
Hair is filled with what kind of keratin?
Hard keratin
44
Hairs 3 keratinized cell layers
medulla cortex cuticle
45
medulla
large cells and air spaces
46
cortex
several layers of flattened cells
47
cuticle
single layer of cells that overlap one another like a roof
48
Why are tension lines important?`
important to surgeons | incisions made parallel to the lines tend to gape less
49
What do u find in the hypodermis?
superficial fascia
50
What are nails made of?
Dead keratinized cells
51
knot of sensory nerve endings wraps around each hair bulb to form...
hair follicle receptor or root hair plexus
52
a nipplelike bit of the dermis
connective tissue papilla/ hair papilla
53
epithelial cells in the hair bulb just above the papilla makeup
hair matrix
54
wall of hair follicle is
composed of outer connective tissue root sheath
55
epithelial root sheath has two parts
external and internal root sheath
