Anat integumentary Flashcards
epidermis
stratified squamous, no vessels.
dermis
thicker than epidermis connective tissue:collagen&elastic -smooth muscle -nervous -blood -hair follicles -glands
skin basal membrane
anchored to dermis by short fibrils to seperate btw 2 skin layers
subcutaneous layer
under dermis, loose CT and adipose binds skin to underlying
collagen and elastic run parallel to skin . no sharpe injury
has major blood vessels
keratinocytes
old skin cells with cell membranes thickened and developed many demosomes that sticks them to other cell
keratinization
cells form fibrils of keratin and harden. keratin protein made and stored inside cells
layers of epidermis
stratum
corneum: keratinized, dead epithelial, cells flatten/nonucleus
lucidum: clear cells
granulosum: 3-5 layers flattened granular cels, small keratin and nucei
spinosum: layers large nucei and develope keratin
basale: single row cuboidal/columnar divide and grow, melanocytes
skin rubbed regularly
rate of cell division increases
melanocytes
cells in epidermis produces melanin (dark pigment provides skin color)
cytocrine secretion
epidermis has ridges projecting inward
dermis has dermal papillae passing into the spaces btw
dermis extra
mostly irregular dense, elasticity and toughness, thicker than epi.
smooth msucle: testes, hair follicles
skeletal: face
lamellated (pacinian) corpuscles
stimulated by heavy pressure, sensory receproe
tactile (meissner’s) corpuscles
light touch
free nerve ending
respond to temp changing and things that damage tissue
hair
grows, rest, fall
not on palms, soles, lip, nipple, some extern reprod
