What is the skin and what does it do?
the skin is an organ that insulates, cushions, protects, prevents water loss and regulates the body temperature
Most superficial layer; 20-30 layers of dead cells, essentially flat membtanous sacs filled with keratin. Glycolipids in extracellular space
Stratum Corneum
One to fiver layers of flattened cells, organelles deteriorating; cytoplasm full of lamellar granules and keratohyaline granules
Stratum Granuiosum
Several layer of keratinocytes unified by desmosomes cells contain thick bundles of intermediate filaments made of pre-keratin
Stratum Spinosum
Deepest epidermal layer; one row of actively miotic stem cells, som newly formed cells become apart of the more superficial layers. See occasional melanocytes and tactile epithelial cells
Stratum Basale
Accessory Organs of the Skin
Nails, Hair, Cutaneous glands
What are the two different cutaneous glands
Sudoriferous and sebaceous
Artho-
Joint
Syn-
With or together
Sym-
a variation of syn - a growing together
Di-
Two or double
Amphi-
Two or both
-Arthroses
Articulation or joint
-Chondro
Cartilage
-Hold bones together
- allow body movements
Articulations
What are the three structural types of joints
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
What are the three functional types of joints
Synarthroses, Amphiarthroses, Diarthoses
Synarthroses
Immovable ( axial skeleton - both cartilaginous and fibrous)
Amphiarthroses
Slightly moveable ( axial skeleton - cartilaginous )
Diarthroses
Freely moveable ( limbs - synovial )
What are fibrous Joints
- they have NO joint cavity
- Immovable
- major types
1. Suture joints
2. Syndesmoses
3. gomphosis
very short connective tissue fibers held together with very short, interconnecting fibers and bone edges (found only in skull)
suture joints
short ligament of dense fibers
Joint held together by a ligament. fibrous tissues can very in length but is longer than sutures
Syndesmoses
Short peridontal ligament
Gomphosis
