Integument Flashcards
sebaceous gland
secretes waxy oil around hair to protect against brittling
inhibit bacterium
-connected to hair follicle
ceruminous glands
ducts empty onto external ear canal
- secretes cerumen (wax) and sebaceous
- protects against bacteria
melanin
shades the nucleus to protect from UV radiation
carotene
yellow-orange pigment
albinism
inability to synthesize tyrosinase
arector pili muscle
attached to the hair root and causes hair to stand on end
hair contains
shaft (projects out of the skin) and root (part underneath the skin)
bulb
part where hair connects to the CT layer
papilla of the hair
nipple like area where blood vessels go into the bulb of the hair
hair contains four main layers, they are
medulla
cortex
cuticle
follicle layer (internal and external root sheath
hair matrix
where mitosis of hair cells is taking place and the coloring of the hair
three stages of hair growth
- growth stage
- regression
- rest stage
lanugo
peach fuzz that is present on newborns
eponychium
cuticle
hyponychium
underside of nail
nail matrix
part underneath the nail proximal to the eponychium, in which mitosis is taking place
purpose of vitamin D
- gut to absorb calcium from foods
- kidney to regulate how much calcium to secrete or maintain
- calcium complex in bone
final product of vitamin D
1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3
inflammation stage of wound healing
- blood clot forms
- clean up debris, microbes, dead tissue
- increased vasodilation and capillary permeability
- inundated with neutrophils anad macrophages
intermediate substance of vitamin D that is synthesized by the liver and kidney
calcitriol
what are the four stages of wound healing?
- inflammation
- migratory
- proliferative
- maturation
what is the process of the inflammatory response in wound healing?
fibrin forms a clot
vasodilation and capillary permeability
neutrophils clean up debris and foreign bodies
what is the migratory phase of wound healing?
basal cells move into form basal layer
fibroblasts begin to lay down collagen and glycoproteins
angiogenesis and vessel repair
granulation tissue
healing wounded tissue
what happens in the proliferative phase of wound healing?
growth of epithelial cells below scab
random pattern of collagen growth
what happens in maturation phase of wound healing?
collagen fibers become organized
fibroblasts decrease in number
blood vessels are normal, but fewer
