Anatomy Ch 4 test review Flashcards
the skin; composed of epidermis and dermal layers
cutaneous membrane
(mucous membrane) membrane that forms the lining of body cavities open to the exterior (digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tract)
mucosa
(serous membrane) membrane that lines a cavity without an opening to the outside of the body (except for joint cavities)
serosa
the serous membrane covering the lungs and lining the thoracic cavity
pleura
a clear watery fluid secreted by the cells of a serous membrane
serous fluid
the membranous sac enveloping the heart
pericardia
membrane that lines the capsule of the synovial joint
synovial membrane
a tough, insoluble protein found in tissues such as hair, nails, and epidermis of the skin
keratin
the outer layer of the skin; epithelium
epidermis
the deep layer of the skin; composed of dense, irregular connective tissue
dermis
(subcutaneous tissue) deep to the dermis, essentially adipose tissue
hypodermis
dark pigment synthesized by melanocytes; responsible for skin color
melanin
glands that have ducts through which their secretions are carried to a body surface (skin or mucosa)
exocrine glands
glands that empty their sebum secretion into hair follicles
sebaceous glands
(sweat glands) that glands that produce a saline solution called sweat
sudoriferous glands
the less numerous type of sweat glands. produces a secretion containing water, salt, and proteins
apocrine glands
more numerous, found all over the body, produces sweat
eccrine glands
only epidermis is damaged, area red and swollen, temporary discomfort, not usually serious and generally heals in two to three days without special attention, sunburn, partial thickness burn
first-degree burn
injury to the epidermis and the upper region of dermis, skin red and painful, blisters appear, regrowth of the epidermis can occur, usually no permanent scars result if treated, partial thickness burns
second-degree burns
destroy the entire thickness of the skin, burned area appears blanched (gray-white) or blackened, nerve endings destroyed= no pain, regeneration is not possible= need skin grafts, full-thickness burns
third-degree burns
extends into deeper tissue (bone,muscle, tendon) appears dry and leathery, requires surgery and grafting, may require amputation, full-thickness bruns
fourth-degree burns
body divided into 11 areas, plus 1% of genitals
