58
Q

Hair Shaft

A

terminology for hair root after it emerges through the epidermis.

59
Q

Hair Growth

A

occurs in cycles

60
Q

Growth Period (hair)

A

when matrix is mitotically active and hair lengthens.

61
Q

Resting stage

A

matrix becomes inactive and hair ceases to grow, referred to as club hair, typically 15% of hair is club hair. Club hair falls out when follicle becomes active.

62
Q

Alopecia

A

partial or complete hair loss. Chemotherapy delivers anti-metabolites which destroys hair matrix. Electrolysis destroys matrix.

63
Q

Hair Color

A

determined by variations in pigmentation of melanin (ultimately determined by DNA which is transcribed by Melanocytes).

64
Q

Types of hair

A

adult hair is thin (vellus) or thick (terminal)

65
Q

Lanuga

A

fine unpigmented hair seen in fetus and typically shed off around birth.

66
Q

Vellus Hair

A

hort fine hair over most of body as peach fuzz (not on thick skin)

67
Q

Terminal Hair

A

thicker course hair on head, eyebrows. After puberty, vellus hair of axilla & groin is replaced by terminal hair.

68
Q

Glands of skin

A

two major exocrine glands of skin are sebaceous and sudiferous (sweat)

69
Q

Sebaceous glands

A
  • oily holocrine secretion of sebum from acinar cells. Sebum coats hair, inhibits bacterial growth and water evaporation, but is not found on thick skin. It is under control of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) to secrete at the same time.
70
Q

Sebaceous glands of hair follicles:

A
  • deep to dermis and empties into hair follicle. Arrector Pili muscle helps squeeze sebum out.
71
Q

Isolated sebaceous follicles

A
  • duct empty directly onto epidermis of face, back, chest, nipples and external genitalia.
72
Q

Vernix Caseosa

A

just prior to parturition (childbirth), fetal sebaceous glands become active producing a coat of sebum which mixes w/shed epidermal cells to make the newborn slippery. Sebaceous glands are then quiescent until puberty.

73
Q

Acne

A

sebaceous follicle becomes colonized by bacteria. Destruction of epidermal tissue can lead to permanent scarring seen with cystic acne.

74
Q

Sudiferous Glands

A

releases a more aqueous secretion known as perspiration:

  1. Apocrine sweat glands
  2. Merocrine (eccrine) sweat glands
75
Q

Apocrine sweat glands

A
  • of axilla and groin releases sticky, odiferous (lipids & proteins) secretion initially thought to be apocrine (but is actually merocrine) and stimulated by Sympathetic Nervous System (of ANS) during stress or sexual excitement.
76
Q

Merocrine (eccrine) sweat glands

A

more ubiquitous throughout body (not thick skin) with liquid secretion (99% water) and some electrolytes. Sensible perspiration cools body.
Reduce body temperature: evaporation of sweat from surface. Need to replace water while exercising in hot temperatures. If performing heavy exercise, more blood to muscles and less to dermis so cannot sweat and lead to heat stroke.
Excretion: of water, electrolytes and some organin solutes (eg- medications).
Protection: dilutes chemicals on surface and releases small peptide antibiotics.

77
Q

Ceruminous glands

A

Specialized glands.

- modified sweat glands secretions mix w/sebum to produce wax.

78
Q

Mammary glands

A

Specialized glands.

-apocrine glands influenced by sex hormones produce milk.

79
Q

  1. Nail Root
  2. Nail Body
80
Q

a. Nail Matrix
b. Eponychium

81
Q

    a. Nail bed
    b. Lanula
    c. Hyponicium

A

epidermis under the nail body, it is pinkish owing to capillaries of the papillary dermis below.

85
Q

Lanula

A

proximal white crescent shape of nail body owing to obscuring of papillary dermis by cells of the nail root.

86
Q

Hyponicium

A

Area of thickened stratum corneum on distal end of nail body.

87
Q

Response to Injury

A

First Intention Healing leaves tissue as it was prior to injury, Second Intention Healing replaces tissue with less functional granular tissues (scarring).

88
Q

Callous

A

Increasing mechanical irritation of epidermis results in increased mitosis with increased layers of keratinocytes.

89
Q

Epidermal wound healing

A

minor injuries (abrasions & minor burns) w/o effecting dermis. The wound gap will be breached by epithelium (1st intention healing) with the help of EGF.

90
Q

Deep wound healing

A

wound extends, at least partially into dermis. Often heals with scarring (2nd intention healing) Four stages of healing:
Inflammatory phase: non-specific response w/vasodilation & local increase in macrophages and fibroblasts and clot forms to prevent microbe invasion.
Migratory phase: germinativum cells migrate across healing platform to breach gap. Fibroblasts produce granulation tissue (w/collagen) to serve as healing platform.
Proliferative phase: New blood vessels grow into area bringing more fibroblasts.
Maturation phase: Excessive collagen crowds region and must start to align the fibers along the lines of stress, creating lines of cleavage.
Hypertrophic Scars: Healing w/fibrosis often presents with raised surface w/excessive collagen and white because blood vessels minimized by collagen.
Keloids: If scar tissue exceeds boundaries of injury, and my leave skin void of dermal organs (hair or glands).

91
Q

Four Stages of Healing

A

Four stages of healing:

  1. Inflammatory phase
  2. Migratory phase
  3. Proliferative phase
  4. Maturation phase
92
Q

Inflammatory phase

A

STAGE 1. non-specific response w/vasodilation & local increase in macrophages and fibroblasts and clot forms to prevent microbe invasion.

93
Q

STAGE 3. New blood vessels grow into area bringing more fibroblasts.

95
Q

Maturation phase

A

STAGE 4. Excessive collagen crowds region and must start to align the fibers along the lines of stress, creating lines of cleavage.

96
Q

Hypertrophic Scars

A

Healing w/fibrosis often presents with raised surface w/excessive collagen and white because blood vessels minimized by collagen.

a. First-degree burn
b. Second-degree burn
c. Third-degree burn

99
Q

First-degree burn

A

only w/in superficial layers of epidermis & results in erythema.

100
Q

Second-degree burn

A

partial thickness burn that extends into upper dermis, typically hair follicles and glands are spared.

101
Q

Third-degree burn

A

full thickness burn through entire dermis & enters hypodermis. Destroys hair follicles & glands but may be less painful because nerve endings are lost.

102
Q

Aging of the Integument

A
  1. Epidermis is thinner as stratum germinativum becomes less mitotically active.
  2. Vit. D declines as much as 75% so less calcium aborption
  3. Glandular activity declines:
    a. Sebaceous activity declines: dry skin, brittle hair.
    b. Sweat glands decline: decreased ability to perspire and cool self down.
  4. Reduction in blood flow to dermis: increases feeling of being cold.
  5. Hair follicle activity declines, thinner, white hair.
  6. Less elastic fibers in dermis and onset of wrinkles (esp. w/exposure to UV radiation).
  7. Decline in sex hormones: so decrease in fat distribution.
  8. Reduction in healing capacity: more prone to recurrent infections.
