Exam 2 Flashcards
Koilonikia
“spoon nails” a sign of chronic iron deficiency; to resolve, up iron in either
diet or supplements
Craniosynostosis
birth defect in which one or more sutures close too early, causing
asymmetrical brain and skull growth to the high pressure; helmet to cure
Alopecia
hair thinning in born sexes after age 40; genetically determined and sex
influenced
Striae
acute, short term traumas to skin can cause blisters/extreme stretching of the skin
causing dermal tears and leaving silvery white scars.
Hirsutism
in women, when production of androgens ↑, excessive hairiness occurs as
well as other signs of masculinization
1st Degree Burn
only epidermis is damaged (ex.sun burn), acute heat, redness, pain/usually no
scarring.
2nd Degree Burn
epidermis and upper dermis, blisters, little to no scarring, heals in 3-4 weeks
3rd Degree Burn
full thickness burn; appears gray-white, cherry red or black; nerve endings
burned off scarring, skin graft may be needed, higher risk of infection
melanin
Melanocytes secrete melanin which is found in hair and skin; functions to shield the
nucleus from damage by the UV radiation. Active in stratum basale.
COME: Corneum
“horny layer”, 20 -30 rows of flat, anucleated, dead cells; accounts
for 3⁄4 of epidermal thickness; protect from water loss, penetration and act as barrier
LETS: Lucidum
“clear layer”; found only in thick skin (palms and soles); thin
translucent band of 2-3 rows of dead keratinocytes
GET: Granulosum
4-6 layered (flat), nuclei and organelles disintegrate as flattened;
keratinization begins; lamellar granules slow water loss
SOME: Spinosum
(prickly layer); web-like system of intermediate prekeratin filaments
attached to desmosomes to resist tension and pulling; contains keratinocytes,
melanosomes and dendritic cells.
BEER: Basale
“base”, firmly attached to dermis; single row of stem cells that undergo
mitotic division (one stays, other goes); producing two daughter cells each time; 10-25% of layer= melanocytes
Mucus Membrane
lines cavities that open to the outside; stratified squamous; secrete lubricating mucus
Serous Membrane
simple squamous; serous fluid to prevent friction and ↑ sliding of organs.
Anagen phase
active phase; new hair growth
Caragen phase
transition phase; marks end of active phase
Telogen phase
resting period for follicle
basic functions of bone
-Provide shape and support
-Protect internal organs
-Produce and store blood cells
-Store minerals
types of cells involved with appositional growth
-Bones widen by appositional growth
-Osteoblasts in the periosteum add compact bone to outer surface to ↑ width of diaphysis
Long bone
distinct shaft, medullary cavity filled with yellow bone marrow (fat); distinct ends…
limbs
Short bone
no diaphysis, cube-liked shape…carpals,tarsals, patellae
Flat bone
thin, no medullary cavity; sternum, ribs, scapulae; roofing
Irregular
irregular shaped
what protects pituitary gland?
Sella turcica of sphenoid bone: bony depression in which the pituitary gland sits
What is trabeculae?
-Structural unit of spongy bone
-Thin beams of beams of bone aligned,lines of stress
-Web-like
