Q

Cutaneous membrane

A

The cutaneous membrane or skin, is the primary organ of the integumentary system. It fulfills the requirements necessary for an epithelial tissue membrane in that it has a superficial layer of epithelial cells and an underlying layer of supportive connective tissue.

A

is composed of two distinct layers of tissue. The epithelial sheet is a thin layer of simple squamous epithelium.

Q

Connective tissue membranes

A

Do not contain epithelial componentsProduce a lubricant called synovial fluid.Connective tissue membranes are smooth and slick.Connective tissue membranes reduce friction between opposing surfaces of bones in movable joints.

17
Q

The skin is the largest

A

organ of the body

18
Q

The skin is also known as the

A

cutaneous membrane and is composed of the epidermis and dermis.

19
Q

The skin, or cutaneous membrane, is a

A

sheet like organ composed of the following layers of distinct tissue

20
Q

The epidermis is the outermost

A

layer of the skin. It is mad up of stratified squamous epithelium.

21
Q

The dermis is the deeper

A

of the two layers. is it made up of connective tissue.

22
Q

The layers of the skin are supported by a thick layer of

A

loose connective tissue and fat called subcutaneous tissue or the hypodermis

23
Q

Two primary layers are called

A

epidermis and dermis

24
Q

Epidermis

A

It is the Outermost and thinnest primary layer of skin

25
Stratum germinativum
Innermost(deepest) layer of cells that continually reproduce
26
As cells approach the surface, they are filled with a tough, waterproof protein called
keratin
27
Stratum corneum:
Outermost layer of keratin-filled cells
28
epidermal layer gives color
to the skin
29
Basal layer of stratum germinativum has pigment
producing melanocyte cells
30
The brown pigment melanin produced by melanocytes gives
skin a darker color
31
Cyanosis
bluish color of skin indicates decreased blood oxygen level
32
The term ___________ is used to describe the area where the skin and mucous membranes meet.
mucocutaneous junction
33
Pleurisy:
Inflammation of the serous membranes that line the chest cavity and cover the lungs
34
Peritonitis:
Inflammation of the serous membranes in the abdominal cavity that line the walls and cover the abdominal organs
