Ch. 4 Flashcards
integumentary protection barriers
physical, chemical, biological (immune response)
integument thermoregulation is
sweating, blood vessels,
integument waste excretion is
secretions of sweat has waste
integument lipid synthesis
in hypodermis
integument megtabolic functions
hormones being actgivated, vitamin d
integument cutaneous sensation
pressure, vibration, temp, pain
two major components of integument
cutanous membrane (skin)
-superficial, epidermis, hypodermis
most superficial layer of skin
epidermis
epidermis has how many layers
five distinct
epidermis type epithelial tissue
keratinized stratified squamous
keratin
protein, produced by cells in epithelium, give epidermis toughness
deepest layer of epidermis is
stratum basale
stratum basale cells are attached to
basal lamina
stratum basale stem cells replace lost
kefratinocytes
how many days to replace epidermis cells
25-45 days
stratum basale contain meloncytes to
produce melanin to absorb ultraviolet radiation
stratum basale merkel cells
nerve endings to communicate when compressed
second deep layer of epidermis is
stratum spinosum
stratum spinosum desmosomes
tie cells together to distribute stress
above stratum spinosum is
stratum granulosum
how many layers of stratum granulosum
3-5 layers
stratum granulosun shows process of
keratinization
keratincytes in stratum granulosum stuff themselves with
protein
layer above stratum granulosum
stratum lucidum
how many layers of stratum corneum
15-30 layers
statum lucidum is only seen in
thick skin
most superficial layer of epidermis is the
stratum corneum
below epidermis is
dermis
dermis is what type of tissue
connective
dermis tissue components
leukocytes, fibroblasts, wbc
