produce keratin for abrasion resistance

17
Q

Epidermis dead cell layers

A
Stratum lucidum (clear)
Stratum Corneum (Dry layer)
18
Q

Dermis functions

A
  • Temperature regulation (sweat glands release fluid)
  • Secreation and absorption
  • Sensory Reception
19
Q

Dermis integumentary sistem

A

Dense regular connective tissue

20
Q

Dermis layers

A
Pappillary layer (areolar CT)
Reticular layer (thick, dense irregular Ct)
21
Q

Pappillary layer is compused of (dermis)

A

Dermal papillae (peglike)
Blood vessels - capillary loops that supply epidermis via diffusion
Meissner’s corpuscles &
free nerve endings – more light touch receptors

22
Q

Reticular Layer (dermis)

A

Thick, dense irregular CT
Tension lines (= lines of cleavage) show orientation of fiber bundles & incisions for less scarring.
Pacinian corpuscles (= lamellated corpuscle, “onion”) – deep pressure & vibration sensors
Blood vessels w/ diameter regulation (arterioles)

23
Q

Vasoconstriction (dermis)

A

decreases vessel diameter & decreases blood flow & heat retained

24
Q

Vasodilation(dermis)

A

vice versa

25
Q

Arrector pili (dermis

A

smooth muscle that responds to cold & fear stimuli (goose bumps)

26
Q

Epidermal derivatives

A

Hair follicles w/ hair
Nails
Sebaceous glands
Sweat glands
