CHAPTER 6 TEST REVIEW INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Flashcards
what are 2 layers of integument?
2 LAYERS OF INTEGUMENT
1.Epidermis- outer layer waterproof barrier
- dermis- conatines connective tissue,hair follicles,blood vessels,lymphatic vessels and sweat glands
what are 5 layers of epidermis?
- startum corneum
2.stratum lucidum(thick skin)
3.stratum granulosum
4.stratum spinosum - stratum basale
cells found in the epidermis layers?
KERATINOCYTES
what are the Integumentary layers?
layers of integumentary system
1. Epidermis
2.Dermis
what layer is not part of the integumentary system?
hypodermis (subcutaneous system)
NOT part of integumentary system
Stratum basale contains what cells?
Stratum basale 3 cell types
1.keratinocytes- synthesize keratin
2.melanocytes- produce melanin
3.tactile cell(merkel cells)- merke;l marca touch
stratum spinosum contain which cells?
cells in stratum spinosum
1.dermosomes- membrane junctions
2.lengerhans cells- immune response
What occurs in the stratum corneum?
keratinization- process to harden and form a shell
non living protective covering over body
Stratum lucidum characteristics?
stratum lucidum contains
transliuscent protein- eleidin
found in thick skin
-plams
-soles feet
Stratum corneum characteristics?
superficial top startum layer
20-30 layers of dead keratinized cells
dead cells are anucleate( ah nu cleate - no nucleaus)
what is Keratinization?
process of cells forming fibrils of keratin
cells harden( shell like) protective covering
thick and thin skin differences?
thick skin-
2 layers(epidermis&dermis)
-all 5 layers of strata
-in palms and soles
-sweat glands
-NO hair follicle glands
-NO SUBEACEOUS-NO OIL
-YES SEBASEOUS GLANDS SWETA!
thin skin-
- 1 layer(epidermis)
-NO 5 LAYERS
-NO stratum lucidum
-covers most body
-contains hair follicle glands
-SEBACEOUS GLANDS(OIL)
-SWEAT GLANDS (SWEAT)
how many melanin types and names?
melanin 2 types
1. eumelanin- black & brown shades
2.pheomelanin- lighter shades, tan,yellow and red
Hemoglobin function?
provides oxygen to blood
gives skin redish hue
Albimism?
Melanocytes produce NO MELANIN
