exam review 2 Flashcards
hirsutism
excessive secretion of androgens from an adrenal tumor resulting in excessive hairiness
striae
silvery white scars left from extreme stretching of skin causing dermal tears
alopecia
hair thinning in both sexes after age 40
craniosynostosis
birth defect in which one or more sutures close too early causing asymmetrical brain and skull growth due to an increase in cranial pressure
koilonychia
“spoon nails” (concave), sign of hypochromatic anemia (chronic iron deviancy) treatment is iron supplements or consume more foods with iron
1st degree burn
only epidermis is damaged
sympomts as with acute inflammation (heat, redness, pain, swelling)
2nd degree burn
epidermis and upper part of dermis are damaged
same symptoms as 1st but with blisters
little or no scarring
heals in 3-4 wks
3rd degree burn
full thickness burn
damage to full thickness of epidermis and dermis
appears gray-white, cherry red or black
slow healing may need skin graft
melanin
produced by melanocytes that is packaged into melanosomes which are transferred to keratinocytes to protect nucleus from UV damage
stratum granulosum
keratinocytes appear grainy
flatten and fill with keratin
granules secrete glycolipids
waterproofs cells from the outside
*most superficial layer of living cells because it is too far from the blood vessels
mucous membrane
lines the nasal cavity and consists of mucus-secreting cells and epithelium that propels the mucus
serous membrane
hair growth phases
anagen phase
catagen phase
telogen phase
anagen phase
active phase, new hair growth production
2-6 yrs
catagen phase
(transition phase) marks end of the active phase
1-2 wks
telogen phase
resting period for the follicle
5-6 wks
bone tissue
classified of connective tissue
also known as lamellae
compact bone
spongy bone
appositional growth
how bones widen
osteoblasts in the periosteum add compact bone to outer surface
increases width of diaphysis
bones remodeled by resorption
osteoclasts resorb excess bone from the outside and also from inside the medullary cavity
keeps bone lightweight and maintains its shape
bone categories
long
short
irregular
flat
sesamoid
long bone
longer than wide
distinct shaft
distinct ends
medullary cavity filled with yellow bone marrow (fat)
EX of long bone
humerus
radius
ulna
femur
tibia
fibula
bones of pal, fingers, sole, toes
3 regions of long bone
proximal epiphysis
diaphysis
distal epiphysis
short bones
cube-like bones
EX of short bones
carpals (wrists)
tarsals (ankles)
patellae (kneecaps)
sesamoid (special type of short bone)
flat bones
thin, flattened bones
no medullar caviy
EX of flat bones
sternum
ribs
scapulae
roofing (cranial) bones of skull
irregular bones
irregular shape
EX of irregular bones
vertebrae
hip bones
certain facial and cranial bones
what bones don’t have diaphysis, epiphysis, or medullar cavities
short, flat, irregular bones
bony depression or prominence in which the pituitary gland sits
sella turcica of sphenoid bone
