Chapter 1⏳ Flashcards
two parts of skin
epidermis
dermis
Superficial part of the skin
epidermis
deep part of the skin
dermis
is a stratified whose cells become flattened as they mature and rise to the surface
Epidermis
is composed of dense connective tissue containing many blood vessels,lymphatic vessels, and nerves.
Dermis
the dermis of the skin is connected to the underlying deep fascia or bones called
Superficial fascia/ Subcutaneous tissue
the skin over joints always folds in the same place
Skin Creases
Appendages of the skin
Nails, hair follicles sebaceous glands and sweat glands
keratinized plates on the dorsal surfaces of the tips of the fingers and toes
nails
proximal edge of the plate
root of the nail
with the exception of the dital plate,the nail is surrounded and overlapped by folds of skin called
nail folds
where the hair grows, it lies obliquely to the skin surface
Hair follicles
expanded extremities, penetrate to the deeper part of the dermis. it is concave at its end.
Hair bulbs
vascular connective tissue occupies the concave air bulbs
hair papilla
A band of smooth muscle ,connects the undersurface of the follicle to the superficial part of the dermis
Arrector pili
dimpling of the skin effect of the pull of the muscle
Gooseflesh
pour their secretion,onto the shafts of the fairs as they pass up through the necks of the follicles.They are situated on the sloping undersurface of the follicles lie within the dermis
Sebaceous glands
secretion of sebaceous glands,oily material that helps preserve the flexibility of the emerging hair
Sebum
are long , spiral,tubular glands distributed over the surface of the body, the mist deeply penetrating structure of all epidermal appendages
Sweat glands
Two types of fasciae
Superficial and Deep
is a mixture of loose areolar and adipose tissue that unites the dermis of the skin to the underlying deep fascia
Superficial Fascia/subcutaneous tissue
is a membraneous layer of connective tissue that invests the muscles and other deep structure
deep fascia
in the region of the joints,the deep fascia maybe considerably thickened to form restraining bands. Their function is to hold underlying tendons in position to serve as pulleys around which the tendons move
Retinacula
Three types of muscle
Skeletal,smooth,cardiac
