retarding loss of body fluids and entry of foreign materials

A

Lamellar granules

22
Q

As the cells move from one epidermal layer to the next, they accumulate more and more keratin, a process called _____.

A

keratinization

23
Q

Newly formed cells in the _____ are slowly pushed to the surface.

A

stratum basale

24
Q

Deeper part of the skin
* Composed mainly of connective tissue containing collagen and
elastic fibers

A

Dermis

25
Q

The superficial part makes up about 1/5 of the thickness
* Thin layer of areolar connective tissue and elastic fibers
* Dermal papillae
* Capillary loops and nerve endings

A

Dermis: Papillary layer

26
Q

Thick collagen bundles and some coarse elastic fibers
* Dense irregular connective tissue
* Appendages are found

A

Dermis: Reticular layer

27
Q

Striae: a form of internal scarring

A

Stretch marks

28
Q

Internal damage to dermis when skin is stretched to much
* Bonding between collagen fibers disrupted, small dermal blood
vessels rupture
* Appear as reddish streaks
* Then as silvery white streaks
* Pregnancy, weight-lifters, obesity

A

Stretch marks

29
Q

Downward projections of the epidermis into the dermis
* Create strong bond between epidermis and dermis in areas of high mechanical stress

A

Epidermal ridges

30
Q

Increase surface area to increase grip of hand and foot by increasing
friction
* Increase surface area to increase tactile sensitivity
* Contribute to the formation of fingerprints (or footprints)
* Unique for each individual

A

Epidermal ridges

31
Q

Increase surface contact between epidermis and dermis
* Extensive network of small blood vessels, important source of nutrition

A

Dermal Papillae

32
Q

Epidermis and dermis fit to form extremely strong junction
* Strengthens skin against shearing forces that attempt to separate
these two

A

Dermal papillae

33
Q

Produced by melanocytes
* Amount of ____ causes the skin’s color to vary from pale yellow to
reddish-brown to black
* Freckles, age spots
* Albinism, vitiligo

A

Melanin

34
Q

Red color; due to oxygen carrying pigment of RBCs

A

Hemoglobin

35
Q

Yellow-orange pigment

A

Carotene

36
Q

Accessory structures of the skin

A

Nail, hair

37
Q

Made up of flattened structures of horny or cornified texture
* Found on dorsal surfaces of the terminal phalanges, fingers and toes

A

Nail

38
Q

3 parts of the nail

A

Nail bed, matrix, lanula

39
Q

Thin, non-cornified epithelium on which the nail plate lies

A

Nail bed

40
Q

Proximal, thicker part of the nail bed
* Responsible for nail growth

A

Matrix

41
Q

Near the root of the nail, the nail bed is less vascular and nail not firmly adhered to the connective tissue stratum.
* Portion of a whiter color and called the on account of its shape

A

Lanula

42

A

Hair

44
Q

Main body of the hair

A

Hair shaft

45
Q

Bundles of smooth muscles typically associated with hair follicles
* Erect the usually obliquely lying hair
* Exert pressure upon sebaceous glands, causes the discharge of their
secretion into the hair follicle.

A

Contraction of the ______ give rise to bumps on the skin or “goose flesh”

A

arrector pili muscles

47
Q
  • Decrease in number, stiffen, break apart, and disorganize into a shapeless, matted tangle
A
