HOE TEST 2 Flashcards
Inflammation erruption of skin, occurs in or near sebaceous glands of face, neck, shoulder, and upperback
acne
using oxygen
aerobic
not using oxygen
anaerobic
substance that induces state of sensitivity or resistance to infection
antigen
glands that usually open into hair follicles. Found in armpits, near reproductive organs, around nipples
Aprocrine glands
Smooth ,isc;e attacjed tp tje jaor fp;;oc;e amd der,os tjat raoses jaor wjem ot cpmtracts. “goosebumps”
arrector pilli
The exclusion of bacteria and other microorganisms, typically during surgery
Asepsis
A member of large group of unicellular microorganisms lacking organelles and an organized nucleus, includin some that can cause disease
Bacteria
The rate at which the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going
basal metabolic rate
Develop in people who are bedridden. Compression of tissue and reduced circulation result in destruction of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, which later become infected by bacteria, forming ulcers
Bedsores
Decubitus Ulcers
Bedsores
Essential fluid made up of plasma and other elements that circulates throughout the body
Blood
- Fibroblasts
- Macrophages
- Adipocytes
Cells of Dermis
Specialized gland in the surface of the ear that secretes cerumen
Ceruminous Glands
Common Sites For Nosocomial Infections
- Urinary Tract
- Surgical Wounds
- Respiratory Tract
- Skin(especially burns)
- Blood (Bacteremia)
- Gastrointestinal Tract
- Central Nervous System
A disease communicated from one person to another
Communicable Disease
Water, sodium chloride, small amounts of ammonia, urea, uric acid, lactic acid
Composition of Sweat
Gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury
Convalescence
The exchange of heat between objects in direct contact with each other. Such as the bottoms of the feet and the floor
Conduction
The transfer of heat between the body and the air or water. A cool breeze causes air to move over the body, allowing body heat to be lost
Convection
Forms the bulk of the hair. Consists of cells containing hard keratin. It is covered by the cuticle
Cortex of hair root
The stages an infection goes through from the appearance of the 1st problem, through treatment, to its conclusion
Course of Infection
A single layer of cells that contains hard keratin. The edges of the cuticle cells overlap like shingles on a roof.
Cuticle of Hair Root
Projections that extend toward the epidermis that shape the overlying epidermis into fingerprints and footprints
Dermal Papillae
The protion of the dermis that surrounds the epithelial root sheath
Dermal Root Sheath
Inflammation of the skin
Dermatitis
Layer of skin beneath the epidermis
Dermis
Layer of skin beneath the epidermis containing blood vessels, nerves, and some glands
Dermis
To make or become wider, larger, or more open
Dilate
The act of disinfecting using specialized cleaning techniques that destroy or prevent growth of organisms capable of infection
Disinfection
Merocrine Sweat Glands
Eccrine Glands
Most common type of sweat gland. They open directly onto the surface of the skin through sweat pores. Most numerous in palms of hands, soles of feet, forehead
Eccrine Glands
They produce sweat, which cools the body
Eccrine Glands
Acute form of dermatitis usually caused by allergies
Eczema
Effects of Age on Immune System
- lose ability to produce new mature T-cells in the Thymus
- Primary and Secondary antibody responses decrease
- Ability to resist infections and develop immunity decreases
- The ability to resist intracellular pathogens also decrease
Blood flowing through skin has a reddish hue. An inflammatory response stimulated by infections, sunburn, allergic reactions, insect bites, exposure to cold and blushing or flushing, when angry or hot
Erythema
Composed of Fat
Fat Cells (Adipose)
External Epithelial Root Sheath
At the opening of the follicle, the external epithelial root has all the strata found in thin skin.
Change from liquid to vapor
Evaporation
Fingerprints
The dermal papillae, under thick skin lie in parallel, curving ridges that shape the overlying epidermis into fingerprints and footprints. The ridges increase friction and improve the grip of the hands and feet. Everyone has unique fingerprints
Superficial burns of the epidermis without blistering, but with redness and swelling. There is mild to moderate pain (sunburn)
First Degree Burns
A small bodily cavity or sac such as the depression in the skin from which hair grows
Follicle
Functions of Inflammation
- Destroy agent causing injury
- Limit effects of agent causing injury
- Repair or replace damaged tissue
A single-celled or multi-celled organism without chlorophull that reproduces by spores and lives by absorbing nutrients from organic matters (ringworm)
Fungi
Tubular sacs that hold the hair fibers.
Hair Follicle
The shape of a follicle determines:
Shape of the hair
Lies beneath the surface of the skin
Hair Root
Protrudes from the skin
Hair Shaft
Heat Gain
The increase of heat gain within a given space as a result of direct heating by solar radiation and heat radiated by light, people, sun, hot sand of a beach, hot coal
Heat Loss
Physical factors that influence heat loss: radiation, convection, conduction, evaporation from lungs, skin mucous membranes; radiation to cool vegetation or snow on the ground.
An organism that harbors or nourishes another organism
Host
Of unknown origin (said of a disease)
Idiopathic
What may cause impetigo
Staphylococci
A pyoderma, or pus-containing, contagious skin disease
Impetigo
The development without sign or symptom of an infection from the time the infectious agent gains entry until the appearance of the 1st signs or symptoms
Incubation
Is the response that occurs when tissues are damaged.
Inflammation
Inflammation has 5 Major Manifestations
- Redness
- Heat
- Swelling
- Pain
- Disturbed Function
Invasion of the body with organisms that have the potential to cause disease
Infection
Has raised edges that mesh closely with the raised edges of the hair cuticle and hold the hair in place. When a hair is pulled out this comes out and is visible as a whitish tissue around the root of the hair.
Internal Epithelial Root Sheath
Excessive billirubin in the blood causing yellowing of the skin
Jaundice
Hard, horny protein that forms nails and hair.
Keratin
An epidermal cell that produces keratin
Keratinocytes
Derived from precursors in the bone marrow. They are found primarily in the epidermis. They are believed to be antigens presenting cells involved in cell-mediated immune reaction in the skin
Langerhans Cells
Stratum Layers of Epidermis
- Stratum Corneum
- Stratum Lucidum
- Stratum Granulosum
- Stratum Spinosum
- Stratum Basale
