2.01: integumentary System Flashcards
Function of the Skin
Protection, temperature regulation, sensory perception, excretion, and formulation of vitamin D
Layers of the Epidermis
Stratum:
- Corneum, Lucidum, Granulosom, spinosum, Basal
Where are keratinocytes found?
All strata
Where are melanocytes found
Stratum Basale
Where are Merkel Cells found?
Stratum Basale
Where are Langerhan Cells found?
Stratum Spinosum
Layers of Hair From most internal to external
Bulb ->Inner Root Sheath Cuticle -> Huxley’s -> Henle’s Layer -> external root sheath -> glassy membrane
Pigments in Melancytes
Eumelanin (black/brown)
Pheomelanin (red/blonde)
Phases of Hair growth
- Anagen (growth, years)
- Catagen (transition, weeks)
- telogen (resting/shedding, months)
- exogen (shedding)
Clear Secretory Cell (eccrine sweat gland)
produces watery part of sweat
Dark Secretory part of Eccrine Sweat Gland
Produces the glycoprotein part of sweat
Myoepithelial Cells
Found in secretory portion of eccrine gland but not duct portion
Duct portion of eccrine sweat glands
stratified cuboidal epithelium, no myoepithelium
What is found in Hairy Skin?
Hair Follicles, Sebaceous, eccrine and apocrine sweat glands, pigment in epidermis
Sebaceous gland morphology
Simple branched acinar
eccrine sweat gland morphology
simple coiled tubular
apocrine sweat gland morphology
simple coiled tubular
External surface of Eyelid
Skin, Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Internal surface of the eyelid
Palpebral conjuctiva (stratified columnar epithelium)
Tarsal glands
- contains meibomian glands (modified sebaceous, simple branched acinar)
- produces meibum
glands of zeis
modified sebaceous, unilobular
- associated with lash follicles
Glands of moll
modified apocrine sweat glands,
- near lash follicles
orbicularis oculi
facial expression muscle that encircles the eye
Layers of Lens in order from most external to internal
lens capsule
Lens epithelium
Differentiating lens fibers
Mature lens fibers
lens epithelium
simple cuboidal epithelium
differentiating lens fibers
have nuclei, but are elongating, filling with crystallins
Mature lens fibers
have no nuclei, densely packed
Layers of Cornea
Anterior surface, Bowmans, stroma w/ collage, Descements, posterior surface
Sclera
-continuous with cornea
- meats at corneoscleral junction
- not transparent
Palpebral Conjuctiva
Covers posterior surface of eyelid
- stratified columnar
- goblet cells
Bulbar conjuctiva
- covers anterior surface of sclera
- stratified squamous
- few goblet cells
What is the anterior surface of the cornea made of
stratified nonkeratinized squamous epithelium
What is the posterior surface of the cornea made of
simple squamos epithelium
Where is stratum spinosum ONLY located
thick skin
