Tissue: epithelial
Layers: 4-5
Avascular
Dermis

vascular & innervated
Layers of fascia
Superficial
Deep
Superficial
description list
Areolar connective tissue adipose CT collagen vascular innervated separates muscle from skin
Deep
description list
Dense irregular connective tissue
Vascular
Surrounds muscles and bones
Appendages of the skin
Dermis contains
Accessory structures
Hair
Nails
Muscles
Glands
Hair
Few hairless areas: palms, soles of feet, parts of the genitalia
Epidermis cells spread down to the dermis to form a root sheet/ hair tube or follicle
Germinal matrix pushes up keratinized hair that’s alive and will return if plucked
Lives for 2-6 years and grows 1/2 inch per month or 5” per year
Nails
Heavily keratinized dermal cells
Muscles
Muscles In the skin (erector pilli) = goose bumps cause hair to stand up
Skin glands
Types
Oil
Sweat
Earwax
Oil glands
Sebaceous and produce sebum
- skin soft, hair supple - protective skin cream - anti-fungal - prevents excessive evaporation
When clogged: acne and black heads
Sweat glands
Sudoriforous (most numerous 3-4 million)
Two types eccrine and apocrine
Sweat gland
Eccrine
Perspiration (salts, ammonia, uric acid, other wastes)
Maintains core temperature
Mammary glands are modified sweat glands
3000 per square inch in palms, forehead, soles
Same lipids as apocrine
