CHAPTER 14 Flashcards
These are well-vascularized, containing collagen, elastic
fibers, nerve endings, and lymph vessels.
Dermis
It is present over most of the body except soles
and palms.
Sebaceous Glands
Located over the entire skin, and is involved in thermoregulation.
Eccrine:
Is associated with hair follicles in specific areas.
Apocrine:
become functional at puberty,
secreting milky sweat linked with body odor.
Apocrine glands
functions include energy storage, insulation, cushioning for bone and internal organ protection, and vascular
pathways for nutrient supply and waste removal.
SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE
what hair is short, pale & fine
Vellus
hair that is(longer, darker, coarser)
Terminal
Hair color determined by pigment production such as
(melanin
and pheomelanin).
this hair aids in thermoregulation by wicking sweat
away.
Vellus
Changes in

temperature
may indicate
vascular or
neurologic
problems
may be seen with dry
skin, aging, drug
reactions, allergies, lice,
tinea, insect
bites,
Pruritus
People born in tropical regions or acclimatized to hot
environments tend to have more active eccrine glands.
TRUE
sensations of
tingling,
pricking, or
burning are
referred to as
paresthesia.
Generalized hair
loss may be seen in various
systemic illnesses such as

Bacterial
Yellow, thick,
crumbling nails
are seen in
fungal
infections.
Estimate the exudate (drainage) AS
