EXAM 2- CHAPTER 5 Flashcards
top layer composed of stratified squamous epithelium and 4 others
epidermis
synthesize waterproofing keratin protein
keratinocytes
make melanin pigment protein
melanocytes
migrate from bone marrow, immune activator, also known as dendritic cells
Langerhans cells
deep epidermis , light touch pressure receptors
merkel cells
merkel cells are also known as cutaneous or ___ receptors
mechanical
stratum corneum
20-20 layers of flat dead keratinized cells slough off replaced from below
3-5 layers, clear extra protection in palms/soles
stratum lucidum
3-5 layers, state of degeneration
stratum granulosum
8-10 layers, most keratinocytes connected by desmosomes (protein that holds cells together)
stratum spinosum
(germination) single layer of stem cells in active mitosis, helps heal injuries
stratum basale
forms keratinocytes and melanocytes
the proteins woven in
between is how it differentiates from the other layers
also has BLOOD VESSELS
dermis
what cells make up the epidermis
fibroblasts (make protein fibers), macrophages(immune), and adipocytes(fat cells)
what type of connective tissue is found in the papillary region
areolar connective (loose)
bumpy velcro
ridges create fingerprints
dermal papillae
tactile, sensory receptors for touch/ pressure
meissner’s corpuscles
what two things are found in the papillary region
meisner’s corpuscles and dermal papillae
what type of tissue is found in the reticular region
dense, irregular connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers
what do the elastic fibers and collagen do to the skin?
make it flexible
the tissue of the reticular region is ___ woven
tightly
the tissue of the papillary is ___ woven
loosely
sensory receptors for deep pressure
pacinian corpuscles
name some functions of the integumentary system
bob-body temp regulation
prayed- protection
so- sensation
evelyn- excretion
is- immunity
boss-blood reservoir
vampire- vitamin d synthesis
what are the organs of the integumentary system
skin hair nails sweat glands and oil glands
superficial fascia (adipose tissue)
hypodermis
where are mesiners corpusclecs found and what do they do
they are found in the papillary region of the dermis, in the upper region. they are responsible for light touch
where are pacinian corpuscles found and what do they do
they are found in the reticular region in the lower part, they are responsible for DEEP pressure
