Q

Two layers of the dermis layer

A
  1. Papillary layer

2. Reticular layer

2
Q

Anchors the epidermis and nourishes it

A

Dermal papillae

3
Q

Three components to the papillary layer

A
  1. Areolar CT
  2. Capillaries and neurons
  3. Dermal papillae
4
Q

Job of the reticular layer of the dermis

A

Anchoring layer

5
Q

What does the reticular layer contain in the dermis?

A

Large vessels, nerves, adipocytes, arrector pili muscle

6
Q

What kind of tissue is in the reticular layer of the dermis?

A

Dense irregular CT (Collagen and elastic)

7
Q
  • In subcutaneous layer

- Network of arteries and veins supplying skin

A

Cutaneous Plexus

8
Q
  • Follows epidermal and dermal boundary

- Helps nourish epidermal layer

A

Papillary Plexus

9
Q

How do stretch marks form?

A
  • Weight gain causes fibers to stretch; they lose elasticity and break
  • decrease in fiber elasticity
  • tearing of fibers
10
Q

What is the subcutaneous layer composed of and what are its functions?

A
  • Areolar CT and adipose CT
  • Collagen and elastic fibers
  • No distinct boundary with dermis
  • Major blood vessels and nerves
  • Stabilizes skin
11
Q

Where is there no hair?

A
  • Plantar/palmar regions
  • Digits
  • Eyelids
  • Lip
12
Q

Three types of hair and meanings

A
  1. Vellus - peach fuzz
  2. Intermediate - arms

13
Q

Mostly projects above the surface of the skin

A

Shaft

14
Q

Penetrates into the dermis

A

Root

15
Q

Base of the follicle

A

Bulb

16
Q

Each hair is composed of these three layers (outside to inside)

A
  1. Cuticle
  2. Cortex
  3. Medulla
17
Q

Dead, keratinized

19
Q

Functions of hair

A
  1. Protection

22
Q

Three stages to hair growth

A
  1. Anagen stage
  2. Catagen stage
  3. Telogen stage
23
Q
  • Lasts from 2-6 years depending on the body part

- Matrix cells at base of hair root producing length

A

Anagen stage

24
Q
  • Lasts up to two weeks

- Matrix cells inactive and follicle atrophies

A

Catagen stage

25
Q
  • Hair follicale remains dormant

- Hair is eventually pushed out by new hair as cycle renews

A

Telogen stage

26
Q

31
Q

Sebaceous glands secrete _____by holocrine secretion

A

32
Q

What is the point of sebum?
