24
Cells of dermis
Fibroblast, macrophages,
25
Two layers of the dermis
Papillary layer and reticular layer
26
Papillary layer
Thin layer of loose connective tissue with collegen and elastic fibers and blood cells, forms dermal papillae
27
Reticular layer
80% of dermis, dense irregular connective tissue with elastic and collegen fibers
28
Dermal papillae
Contain capillary loops, fine touch receptors, free nerve endings, in thick skin form epidermal ridges
29
3 pigments that contribute to skin color
MelNin, carotene, and hemoglobin
30
Blue skin color
Low oxygen - cyanosis
31
Red skin color
Fever, hypertension, inflammation, allergy - erythrema
32
White skin color
Anemia, low bp, fear, anger - pallor
33
Yellow skin color
Liver disorder - jaundice
34
Black and blue marks on skin
Clotted blood beneath skin - bruises
35
Appendages of the skin
Hair, nails, and cutaneous glands
36
Hair
Produced by hair follicles and consist of dead keratinized cells
37
Three main regions of the hair
Shaft, root, bulb
38
Hair follicle
Epidermal tissue sheath that folds down from epidermis into dermiS
39
Hair Papilla
Dermal tissue that supplies blood for cell growing in the bulb region
40
Arrector pili muscle
Smooth muscle attached to hair follicle , causes goose bumps
41
Nails
Composed of dead keratinized cells
42
Nail matrix
Responsible for nail growth
43
2 categories of cutaneous nails
Sweat and sebaceous glands
44
4 types of sweat glands
Eccrine, apocrine, ceremonious, mammary glands
45
Eccrine sweat glands
Most (especially in palms)
46
Apocrine sweat glands
Ducts open into hair follicle, body odor, begin functioning at puberty
47
Cerumineous sweat gland
In ear, secrete cerumen (ear max)
48
Mammary glands
In breast tissue, secrete milk
49
Sebaceous (oil) glands
Most secrete into hair follicle, secretes sebum (oil)
50
Six principle functions of the integumentary system
Protection, body temperature, sensation, metabolic functions, blood reservoir, excretion
51
Three types of skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma, squarmos cell carcinoma, melanoma
52
Burns
First second and third degree
53
First degree burn
Epidermal damage only, redness, swelling, pain
54
Second degree burn
Epidermal and upper dermal damaged, blisters
55
Third degree burn
Entire thickness of skin, no pain
56
Immediate threats from burns
Dehydration, electro light imbalance
