Q

This makes up the bulk of the skin and is a tough leathery layer composed of mostly dense connective tissue. It has a rich supply of nerve fibers, blood vessels, and lymphatic cells.

24
Q

What 4 types of tissue make up the dermis?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Epithelial
  2. Connective
  3. Nervous
  4. Muscular
25
What are the 2 layers of the dermis?
1. Papillary | 2. Reticular
26
This layer of the dermis is loose areolar connective tissue, Fingerprints.
Papillary.
27
This layer makes up 80% of the dermis. It is course irregular connective tissue. Blood vessels nourish this layer the cutaneous plexus.
Reticular
28
What determines skin color?
Melanin Hemoglobin Carotene
29
This is reddish brown to black skin.
Melanin
30
This is red, blood, pinkish he of pale skin.
Hemoglobin
31
This is yellow to orange stratum corneum of palms and soles.
Carotene
32
Black and blue marks of the skin are what?
Bruises, escaped clotted blood.
33
These are flexible strands produced by hair follicles and consists largely of dead keratinized cells.
Hair or Pili
34
What are the 3 structures associated with hair?
1. Hair follicle 2. Hair bulb 3. Root hair plexus
35
These fold down from the epidermal surface into the dermis. the deep end is 4mm below the surface and expands to form a hair bulb.
Hair follicle
36
This is a knot of sensory nerve endings in hair.
hair follicle receptor or root hair plexus
37
The shaft of hair is ___ and the root of hair is ____.
Dead | Alive
38
What are the 3 layers of hair?
1. Medulla 2. Cortex 3. Cuticle
39
This layer of hair has a central core consisting of large cells and airspace and contains soft keratin.
Medulla
40
This is the bulky layer of hair that surrounds the medulla. IT consists of several layers of flattened cells.
Cortex
41
This is the outermost layer of hair that overlaps like shingles on a roof. It is the most heavily keratinized part of the hair and provides strength and keeps inner layers compacted.
Cuticle
42
These are simple branched alveolar glands that are found all over the body except in the palms and soles. They secrete an oily substance called sebum.
Sebaceous glands or oil glands.
43
Central cells of the alveoli accumulate pily lipids until they become so engorged that they burst so that they are called _____?
Holocrine glands
44
This softens and lubricates the hair and skin.
sebum
45
What are the 3 sweat glands?
1. Eccrine 2. Apocrine 3. Ceruminous
46
This gland secretes hypotonic filtrate from blood and is a temperature control.
Eccrine sweat glands
47
This gland is viscous and is found in the axial armpits and the anogenital regions only. It is responsible for body odor and appears at puberty.
Apocrine sweat glands.
48
These are modified apocrine glands of the ear and produce ear wax.
Ceruminous glands.
49
These glands secrete milk.
Mammary glands.
50
These are clear protective coverings on the dorsal surface of the distal part of a finger or toe that contain hard keratin.
Nails
51
This is the nail growing cellular region.
Nail matrix
52
The epidermis is damaged with this type of burn.
1st degree
53
The epidermis and some of the dermis are damaged with this type of burn. As long as some of the dermis is intact, it should repair itself. The main concern with this type of burn is infection.
2nd degree
54
The epidermis and dermis are completely damaged with this type of burn. It is often times painless because the nerves are killed.
3rd degree.
55
This type of cancer involves basal cells, 30% of all caucasians get it. It is the least dangerous but there is concern with sun exposure if diagnosed.
Basal cell carcinoma.
56
This type of skin cancer is the second most common and arises from the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum. Surgery or radiation will treat it.
Squamous cell carcinoma
57
This type of skin cancer is cancer of the melanocytes and is the most dangerous becuase it is highly metastatic.
Melanoma
