Exam 5-8 Flashcards
Dermis is between:
Epidermis and hypodermis
What does the dermis anchor?
sweat glands and hair follicles
Two layers of dermis:
Papillary & Reticular
Cutaneous plexus located? (network of intersecting blood vessels)
interface of dermis and hypodermis
Arteries carry what kind of blood?
Oxygenated
Veins carry what kind of blood?
Deoxygenated
Arteries and veins branch off in the cutaneous plexus into:
Reticular layer of dermis, hair follicles, sweat glands, hypodermis, and rejoin arteries and veins.
Smaller branches of veins are called:
Capillaries
Vessels from cutaneous plexus reach papillary layer and thin out to be called
Capillaries
When capillaries loop they care called ____ Plexus
Papillary Plexus
Nutrients, blood, oxygen and wastes are delivered through capillaries in papillary plexus close to the _____ germinativum of the epidermis
Stratum
Nerve fibers extend throughout the dermis controlling:
blood flow, gland secretions, sensory receptors
3 sensory receptors in dermis that respond to touch:
Merkel Sensory Cells- In epidermis
Tactile Corpulses-In dermis near pappillae
Lamellated Corpulses- In dermis-reticular
Merkel Sensory Cell Definition
In epidermis connected to nerves in the dermis
Tactile Corusles Definiton
CT capsules near dermal papillae attached to a nerve
