Anatomy Chapter 5 Flashcards
What does the integumentary system consist of?
- cutaneous membrane
- hypodermis
- accessory structures
what are the functions of the skin?
Protects excretes maintains (body temp) synthesizes (vitamin D) stores (lipids) Detects (touch, pressure, pain, and temp)
what are the two parts of the Cutaneous membrane?
Epidermis
Dermis
What is the superficial part of the skin called?
Epidermis
what is the deep part of the cutaneous membrane
Dermis
what kind of tissue does the Epidermis have?
Stratified squamous epithelial tissue (many layers)
what kind of tissue does the dermis have?
Areolar and dense, irregular connective tissue (2 layers)
what kind of tissue does the Hypodermis tissue have?
Loose connective tissues (adipose and areolar)
what are the accessory structures?
hair
nails
glands
sensory structures
what is the order of the integumentary system?
what is the order or the layers (3)
epidermis (top)
dermis (middle)
subcutaneous layer (hypodermis) (bottom)
What is the main cell type in stratified squamous epithelial tissue?
Keratinocyte (make a protein called keratin)
how many layers are there in the epimeris?
4-5 layers (called strata)
what are the strata layers of the strata of the skin?
stratum corneum (top) stratum lucidum stratum granulosum stratum spinosum stratum basale (bottom)
the thick 15-30 top layer that is constantly lost is called what?
stratum corneum
what is the optional layer that is only in the thicker 5 layered skin?
stratum lucidum
what skin layer makes a lot of keratinocytes, being filled so much with this that eventually kills organelles inside
stratum granulosum
what is cell death by the production of keratinocytes called?
keratinization
what layer has a dramatic drop in rate at which the cels divide. they have maturing cells (living keratinocytes)
stratum spinosum
what epithelial layer is constantly dividing and is one layer thick?
stratum basale
what does skin color depend on?
melanin
carotene
what is melanin made by?
melanocytes
what are the vesicles called that store and deposit melanocytes?
melanosomes
