(164 cards)
what are the two parts of the integument?
cutaneous membrane and accessory structures
what is the epidermis made out of?
epithelial tissue
what is the dermis made out of?
dense connective tissue
what is the name of the epithelial tissue that makes up the epidermis?
stratified squamous
what are the 5 functions of the integument?
-protection
-temperature maintenance
-synthesis and storage of nutrients
-sensory reception
-excretion and secretion
what are the two types of the epidermis?
thick and thin
what are the 5 layers of the epidermis from bottom to top?
-stratum germinativum
-stratum spinosum
-stratum granulosum
-stratum lucidum
-stratum corneum
where is thick skin located?
on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet
which layer of the epidermis is not in thin skin?
stratum lucidum
stratum ________________: attached to the basement membrane with hemidesmosomes
germinativum
what are the types of cells in the stratum germinativum
-germinativum cells
-germinativum cells’ daughter cells
-melanocytes
why do cells die in the stratum spinosum?
they are too far from blood vessels
stratum _______________: thin; new cells that are pushed up from stratum germinativum still go through mitosis; contains dermal papilla and epidermal ridges; found below the dark line on the microscope
spinosum
stratum _______________: makes granules; cells fill with keratin from granules
granulosum
stratum _____________: one clear layer; this layer is not in thin skin, only thick
lucidum
stratum ______________: top layer; cells have become keratinized
corneum
how many layers does the stratum corneum have?
15-30
how long does it take cells to get to the stratum corneum?
4 weeks
what are the two layers of the dermis?
-papillary layer
-reticular layer
contains dermal papilla; vascular; also contains loose connective tissue and has nerves, lymphatic vessels, and blood vessels
papillary layer
under the papillary layer; has lots of reticular fibers and also includes collagen and elastic fibers; less strength but the strength it has goes in multiple directions due to the branching of the reticular fibers
reticular layer
what are the 3 parts that make up skin?
epithelial, loose, and dense connective tissue
what is another name for the skin?
cutaneous membrane
what is another name for the hypodermis?
subcutaneous membrane
