Q

Fiberblast cell

A

Forms collagenous and elastic fibers

18
Q

Mast cell

A

Contains/release histamine (inflammation) and heparin (anticlot)

19
Q

Chondrocyte

A

Cells located in cartilage. Maintains cartilage matrix and reduces friction in bones.

20
Q

Lacuna

A

Small space containing a chondrocyte or osteocyte

21
Q

Integumentary

A

Protects body. Maintains body temp. Excrete materials. Carry out metabolic reactions. Sense stimuli. Holds blood volume.

22
Q

Epidermis

A

Stratified squamous tissue. A vascular ( no blood supply)

23
Q

Keratinocytes (epidermis cell)

A

Most abundant cell. Produce keratin. Protects skin and produces antibodies

24
Q

Melanocytes (epidermis cell)

A

Produce melanin (dark pigment). Protects keratinocytes from uv rays that may cause cancer.

25
Langerhans (epidermis cell) (intraepidermal macrophages)
Antigen. Helps immune cells recognize an invading microb and destroy it
26
Merkel (epidermis cell) (tactile epithelial)
Sensory receptor. Detects touch sensation
27
Stratum basele (epidermis layer)
Deepest layer. Constantly produces keratinocytes.
28
Stratum spinosum (epidermis layer)
Provides strength and flexibility to skin
29
Stratum grandulosum (epidermis layer)
Middle layer. Losing blood/o2 supply. Death of keratinocytes occur.
30
Stratum lucidum (epidermis layer)
Thick skin (hairless). Dead keratinocytes that contain keratin.
31
Stratum corneum (epidermis layer)
Keratinocytes shed daily
32
Dermis
Dense irregular tissue. Contains collagen/elastic fibers , blood vessels and nerves
33
Papillary layer (dermis layer)
Closest to epithelium tissue. Makes finger prints. Dermal papillae that has blood vessels and nerve endings that initiates signals of sensation
34
Dermal papillae
Upper layer of dermis that connects to epidermis to provide blood flow
35
Reticular layer (dermis layer)
Collagen fibers for strength and resiliency to skin. Protects from scraps and jabs. Fiber that bind water to keep skin hydrated. Elastic fibers so skin can stretch.
36
Hypodermis
Adipose/ areolar tissue. Stores fat, shock absorber and insulates. Anchors skin to deep muscle
37
Sebaceous gland
Oil gland. Lubricates hair and skin. Secretes sebum. Inhibits water loss and bacteria growth
38
Sudoriferous gland
Sweat glands.
39
Eccrine sweat gland
Most common. Regulate body temp. Forehead/hands
40
Apocrine sweat gland
Armpit/groin. Milky/yellowish. Emotional/sexual sweat. Odorless but when interacts with bacteria turns into bo
41
Hair follicle
Surrounds hair root formed from epidermal layers and projects into dermis
42
Arrector pilli
Goosebumps. Smooth muscle contracts hair follicle to upright position. (Autonomic nerve endings stimulates contraction of smooth muscle)
