Exam 2 Flashcards
what are the 2 layers of the dermis and what percentage of the dermis does each make up?
-pappilary Layer (20%)
- reticular layer (80%
What makes the subcutaneous layer ideal for drug injection?
extensive vascular network promotes rapid absorption
How does the subcutaneous layer differ among sexes?
thicker in women and accumulates in breasts, hips, thighs
thinner in men and accumulates in arms, abdomen, and back
What is the papillary layer composed of?
areolar connective tissue forms dermal papillae
what is the reticular layer composed of?
dense irregular tissue surrounding hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands, nerves, and blood vessels
what are the two most common types of exocrine glands in the skin?
sweat glands and sebaceous glands
what is another name for sweat glands?
sudoriferous glands
what are the two types of sweat glands
merocrine(eccrine) and apocrine
what part of sweat glands contract upon nervous system stimulation to release sweat?
myoepithelial cells
what type of sweat gland is most numerous?
merocrine
where are merocrine sweat glands abundant?
palms,soles, and forehead
what is a main function of merocrine glands?
thermoregulation
what to merocrine glands secrete?
sweat(99% water, salts, vit C, antibodies)
what do merocrine ducts connect to
pores of skin
where are apocrine glands located?
only axillilary and genital areas
what do apocrine glands secrete?
sweat, fatty substances, & proteins
what type of sweat gland is larger than the other?
apocrine sweat glands
what do apocrine ducts empty into?
hair follicles
when do apocrine glands begin to function?
puberty
what are the two types of modified apocrine glands?
ceruminous and mammary glands
how are most sebaceous glands formed?
most develop from hair follicles and secrete into hair follicles
what do sebaceous glands secrete?
sebum
what are the four stages of wound healing?
- cut blood vessels bleed into wound
- blood clot forms and leukocytes clean wound
- blood vessels re grew and granulation tissue forms
- epithelium regenerates and CT fibrosis occurs
what are the obstacles in healing a more severe injury?
longer time needed for wider and deeper surfaces, hair follicles, exocrine glands, and nerves may not be repaired
what indicates a first degree burn?
epidermal damage only; localized redness, swelling, and pain
what indicates a second degree burn?
epidermal and upper dermal damage; blisters appear
what indicates a third degree burn?
entire thickness of skin involved; skin can be white, bright red, or blackened, not painful or swollen, skin grafting is typically necessary
what are the treatments/concerns for burn victims?
- manage fluid loss
- relieve swelling
- manage pain
- remove dead tissue
- control infection
what are the two types of bones tissue?
compact bone and spongey bone
what is another name for compact bone?
dense/cortical bone
what percent of bone mass does compact bone make up?
80%
what is another name for spongey bone?
cancellous/trabecular bone
what percent of bone mass does spongey bone make up?
20%
where is hyaline cartilage found in bones?
- attaches ribs to sternum
- covers ends of some bones
- cartilage within growth plates
where can fibrocartilage be found in bones?
- intervertebral discs
- pubic symphysis
- cartilage pads of knees
what are some functions performed by bones?
- support and protection
- movement
- hemopoiesis
- storage of mineral and energy reserves
what is hemopoiesis?
blood cell production
where does hematopoiesis occur?
in red bone marrow CT
what key minerals are stored in bones?
calcium and phosphate
why is calcium important in the body?
essential for muscle contraction, blood clotting, and nerve impulse transmission
why is phosphate important in the body?
ATP utilization and plasma membranes
where are lipids stored in adult bones?
in yellow bone marrow
what region of the bone is the diaphysis?
the elongated usually cylindrical shaft
what is the diaphysis composed of?
compact bones with thin spicules of spongey bone extending inward
what are the functions of the diaphysis?
provides leverage and weight support
where is the medullary cavity?
the hollow space within the diaphysis
what is found in the medullary cavity?
red bone marrow in children and yellow bone marrow in adults
where is the epiphysis?
the knobby region at each end of long bone
what is the epiphysis composed of?
composed of an outer thin layer of compact bone and an inner region of spongey bone
where is articular cartilage found?
covers the joint surface on each epiphysis
