Q

Dermal Papillae

A

Ridges formed from Stratum Germinativum which extend into dermis

24
Q

Factors of Epidermis that control skin colour

A

Dermal Blood Supply
Melanin and Carotene
Thickness of Stratum Corneum

25
Q

Carotene

A

Can convert to Vit A
- Vit A needed for synthesis of visual pigments in photoreceptors of eye

26
Q

Melanin

A

Produced and stored in melanosomes within melanocytes
- Creates natural skin colour to protect against UV

27
Q

Melanocyte Activity

A

Exposure to too much UV causes enough stress to trigger a protective response
–> Triggers Melanin production

28
Q

Interwoven Collagen Fibers

A

Tensile Strength

29
Q

Elastic Fibers

A

Stretch and Recoil

30
Q

Where is hair found?

A

Everywhere except:
- Palm
- Soles
- Side of fingers/toes
- Lips
- Parts of Genitalia

31
Q

Arrector Pili Muscle

A

Contraction of these muscles result in goose bumps

32
Q

Root Hair Plexus

A

Nerves that detect movement of hair and send impulses to brain (For Sensory)

33
Q

Function of Hair

A
  • Protect from UV
  • Insulation
  • Guards entrance to eye/nose
  • Sensory
34
Q

Q

Types of Hair (Terminal)

A

Covers Head
Makes up the eyebrows

Q

Hair Colour Controlled by?

A

Melanin
- More Melanin = Darker Hair
- Lack of Melanin + Air Bubbles in Hair Shaft –> Grey Hair

Each Hair Follicle undergoes a hair growth cycle

Club hair is lost and a replacement is produced
