17
Q

hair

A

has various functions, protection against external factors, sebum, apocrine swear and pheromones production and thermoregulation

18
Q

hair follicle

A

anchors each hair into the skin

19
Q

hair root

A

main function - uptake of water and nutrients from the rhizosphere

20
Q

nails

A

function- protecting digits and contributing to tactile sensation

21
Q

lunula

A

primary structural role is defining the free edge of the distal nail plate

22
Q

cuticle

A

diffusion barrier limiting water& solute transport across the apoplast and for its protection of the plant against chemical and mechanical damage as well as pest and pathogen attack

23
Q

nail root

A

produces most of the volume of the nail and the nail bed

24
Q

pores

A

they allow sweat and oil to escape through your skin

25
apocrine sweat gland
continuously secrete a fatty swear intro gland into the gland tubule
26
eccrine sweat glands
primarily by stabilizing body temp
27
epidermis
waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone
28
dermis
supports and protects the skin and deep layers
29
hypodermis
it provides the main structural support for the skin
30
keratin
helps form the tissue of the hair, nails and outer layer of skin
31
keratin cycle
it’s important for the formation of the epidermal water barrier by making and secreting liquids
32
stratum basale
home to melanocytes that produce melanin
33
stratum spinosum
it’s responsible for the skins strength and flexibility
34
stratum granulosum
it helps form a waterproof barrier that functions to prevent fluid lost from the body
35
stratum lucidum
protects skin in areas most common to cause damage
36
stratum cornerman
barrier that prevents unwanted materials from entering and excessive loss of the water from exiting body
37
thick skin
provides protection from the damage in areas that experience more friction and abrasion
38
thin skin
helps protect against infections , regulate temp and allows hair to grow
39
function 1 protection
the skin protects the rest of body from the basic elements of nature such as wind water, and sunlight
40
function 2 sensory function
sense organ bf the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis contain specialized sensory nerve structures that detect touch, surface temp and pain
