What are the four main components of the integumentary system?
Hair, skin, nails, and glands
What are the two major layers of the skin?
Epidermis and dermis
Is the hypodermis part of the skin?
No
What is the hypodermis made of?
Areolar and adipose tissue
What are the functions of the hypodermis?
Store fat, anchor skin to underlying tissue, absorb shock, insulate
Which epithelial cells make up the epidermis?
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
What are the five layers of the epidermis? (Deep to superficial)
Stratum basale Stratum spinosum Stratum granulosum Stratum lucidum Stratum corneum
Which epidermal layer is thickest?
Stratum corneum
Which epidermal layer is only present in thick skin?
Stratum lucidum
Most mitotic epidermal layer
Stratum basale
What types of cells are present in the epidermis?
Keratinocytes, melanocytes, merkels cells, langerhans cells
Which layer of the epidermis has dermal papillae?
Stratum basale
Term meaning the older cells slough off
Desquamate
How does the epidermis get nutrients?
Diffusion from the dermis
What tissue types make up the dermis?
Areolar connective tissue and dense regular collagenous tissue
What are the two layers of the dermis?
Papillary and reticular
Superficial dermal layer, 20 percent of dermis and backs up against the stratum basale
Papillary layer
Dermal layer with cleavage and flexure lines, 80 percent of dermis. Dense regular collagenous
Reticular layer
Which muscle pulls on hairs in the skin?
Arrector pili muscle
What are the four types of sweat glands?
Eccrine, apocrine, ceruminous, mammary
Which glands are associated with follicles and release smelly sweat?
Apocrine glands
Ceruminous glands secrete what?
Earwax
Which gland looks like a bunch of grapes?
Sebaceous gland
Which type of skin cancer metastasizes most quickly and is most dangerous?
Melanoma
Which type of skin cancer is most common and easily removed?
Basal cell carcinoma
Which type of skin cancer affects keratinocytes?
Squamous cell carcinoma
ABCDE rule of skin cancer
Asymmetry Border irregularity Color Diameter Elevation
How much of the body must have a third degree burn to be considered serious?
10%, or anything on hands, face, or feet
Which type of burn blisters?
Second degree
How much of the body must be covered with second degree burns to be considered serious?
25%
Perichondrium structure
Irregular collagenous connective tissue that surrounds cartilage
Perichondrium function
Source of blood vessels and nerves around the bone, prevents cartilage expansion
Is perichondrium found around articular cartilage? Why or why not?
No, because it’s innervated, which would be very painful in joints where articular cartilage is found
Appositional growth
Grows from the outside, like putting on layers
Interstitial growth
Growth from the inside by secretion of new matrix
What makes up the appendicular skeleton?
Upper and lower limbs, pelvis, shoulder girdle
What makes up the axial skeleton?
Skull, spine, sternum, rib cage, hyoid bone
Example of long bone
Femur, tibia, ulna
Short bone examples
Carpals and tarsals
Flat bone examples
Scapula and sternum
Irregular bone examples
Vertebral and facial
What do you call a bone embedded in a tendon?
Sesamoid bone
What are the functions of bones?
Support, protection, movement, storage (calcium), blood cell production
Why are bones considered organs?
Because they are several types of tissues working together to form a functional bone
What are the components of mature bone?
They contain lamellae, and have a compact and a cancellous (spongy) layer
What does immature bone contain?
Woven bone, which is not permanent. No lamellae. Will be remodeled into mature bone
What is the structural unit of mature bone?
Osteon
