Ch 4 Lec 1 Integumentary System Flashcards
2 components of integumentary system
cutaneous membrane, accessory structures
2 parts of cutaneous membrane
epidermis, dermis
hair nails and glands are part of the blank component of integ system
accessory structures
Three functions of integ system
protect deeper tissues, aid in heat regulation, make vitamin d, aid in excretion of urea and uric acid
stratified squamous epithelium makes up the blank
epidermis
epidermis lacks blank
blood vessels
outer most layers of epidermis are blank
dead
four cell types of epidermis
keratinocytes, melanocytes, langerhan, merkel
90 percent of epidermal cells and they provide protection
keratinocytes
8 percent of epidermal cells
melanocytes
epidermal cell type formed from bone marrow and is part of immune response
langerhan cells
epidermal cell type that is in the deepest layer and form touch receptor with sensory neuron
merkel cells
stem cells divide to produce blank at the basal blank
keratinocytes, lamina
keratinocytes slowly blank when pushed up toward the surface
die
keratinization takes this long unless removed by abrasion
4 weeks
5 layers of epidermis
stratum germinativum stratum spinosum stratum granulosum stratum lucidum stratum corneum
Deepest single layer of cells
stratum germinativum
Cells attached to each other & to basal lamina by these two things in stratum germinativum
desmosomes, hemidesmosomes
8 to 10 cell layers held together by desmosomes
During slide preparation, cells shrink and look spiny
stratum spinosum
3 - 5 layers of flat dying cells Show nuclear degeneration
stratum granulosum
stratum granulosum contain dark staining blank granules that release lipid that repels water
keratohyalin
Seen in thick skin on palms & soles of feet only
Three to five layers of clear, flat, dead cells
stratum lucidum
25 to 30 layers of flat dead cells filled with keratin and surrounded by lipids
stratum corneum
stratum corneum cells are continuously blank
shed
friction of stratum corneum stimulates blank
callus formation
Palmer & planter surface
About 30 layers of S. corneum
All 5 layers
thick skin
Rest of body surfaces
Fewer layers of S. corneum
No S. lucidum
thin skin
forms ridges that extend into the dermis
stratum germinativum
blank yolk means good chicke, blank yolk means bad chicken
orange, yellow
these increase area of contact for better grip
epidermal ridges
this is produced in the epidermis by these cells
melanin, melanocytes
everyone has the same blank melanocytes but blank amounts of pigment produced
number, different
melanin production is in response to blank hormone
melanocyte stimulating
