6 Integument (Lecture) Flashcards
Functions of the integument
Protective layer, maintain body temperature, store and synthesize nutrients, Sensory reception, and Secretion and Excreation
The skin converts
cholesterol to vitamin D
The skin secretes
useful substances
The skin excretes
waste
which layer of the integument is made of stratified squamous epithelim
epidermis
Which layer of the integument is an avascular barrier that regenerates
epidermis
Epidermal cells die because
they are avascular and cant get O2
What are the 5 layers of the epidermis
Stratum corneum, Stratum lucidum, Stratum granulosum, Stratum spinosum, and Stratum basale
Which layer of the epidermis is sometimes thick or thin and all of its cells are dead
Stratum corneum
Which layer of the epidermis is only found on the hands and feet
Stratum lucidum
XXX In which layer do Epithelial cells begin to die. Organelles die and form dark spots. contain soft (water proofing) and hard keratin (fingernails).
Stratum granulosom
XXX In this layer cells are living but stop reproducing
Stratum spinosum
XXX Bottom layer (stem cells here)
Stratum basale
Basement membrane does what
connects basal to dermis
XXX What type of cell is a dying epithelial cell
keratinocytes
Pigment cells that protect the living cells from UV radiation
Melanocytes
What type of WBC alarms the immune system?
Dendritic Cells
Inhibit dendritic cells (why my hands itch)
Granstein cells
Parts of the epidermis that project down toward dermis
Epidermal ridges
Epidermal or Friction fidges
finger prints
What layer of the integument do you never shed
dermis
What strengthens the dermis
collagen
Zipper for epidermis to dermis mounds in the dermis that project up.
Dermal papillae
What are the 2 layers of the dermis
Papillary and Reticular
