Chapter 6-9 Flashcards
Three types of epithelial membranes
Cutaneous membranes,
Mucous membranes,
Serious membranes
Connective tissue membranes (one type)
Synovial membranes
Specific serous membranes (three types)
Peritoneum (abdominal cavity)
Pleura (around the lungs)
Pericardium (around the heart)
Two layers of the dermis
Papillary layer (upper)
Reticular layer (deeper)
What plays a role in body temperature regulation?
Blood vessels
What is carotene
Orange-yellow pigment from some vegetables
What is hemoglobin
Red coloring from blood cells in dermal capillaries.
Oxygen content determines the extent of red coloring
The two types of sudoriferous glands
Eccrine and apocrine
What is an eccrine gland
Open via duct to lose on skin surface
Produce sweat (clear)
What is an apocrine gland
Ducts empty into hair follicles
Begin to function at puberty
Release sweat that so contains fatty acids and proteins (milky/yellowish color)
Hair shaft, which is which?
First is cuticle, then cortex, the. Medulla
Rule of 9s
Way to determine the extent of burns, bost is divided into 11 areas for quick estimation, each area represents about 9% of total body surface area
Burn is considered critical
Over 25% of body has second-degree burns
Over 10% of the body has third-degree burns
There are third degree burns of the face, hands, or feet
Basal cell carcinoma
Least malignant, most common type, arises from stratum basale
Squamous cell carcinoma
Metastasizes to lymph nodes if not removed
Early removal allows a good chance of cure
Believed to be sun-induced
Arises from stratum spinosum
Malignant melanoma
Most deadly skin cancer
Cancer of melanocytes
Metastasizes rapidly to lymph and blood vessels
Detection uses ABCD rule
Articular cartilage
Covers the external surface of the epiphyses
Made of hyaline cartilage
Decreases friction at joint surface
Epiphyseal plate
Flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young, growing flat bone
Causes lengthwise growth of a long bone
Epiphyseal line
Remnant of the epiphyseal plate
Seen in adult bones
