A

Papillary region

19
Q

oil glands

22
Q

Hair follicle surrounds the _____?

23
Q
  • deep to the dermis, also known as subcutaneous layer
A

Hypodermis

24
Q
  • not actually part of the skin
  • consists of areolar and adipose tissues
  • fibers extend from dermis to anchor the skin to the subcutaneous layer
  • attaches to the underlying fascia
A

Hypodermis

25
4 receptors of skin
* free nerve ending * Meissner's corpuscles * Pacinian Corpuscles * Hair follicle
26
* Papillary layer to epidermis * found in the papillary * Detects pain and extreme temperature * needed to maintain homeostasis
Free nerve ending
27
* "Touch corpuscles" * detects light touch and slow vibration
Meissner's Corpuscles
28
* Detects pressure and fast frequency vibration
Pacinian Corpuscles
29
* Surrounds hair root * extends from under the skin to epidermis to hypodermis * detects light touch
Hair follicle
30
Skin appendages
* Hair shaft * hair root * hair bulb * arrector pili muscles * Eccrine sweat glands * Sebaceous glands
31
* superficial part of the hair that protrudes above the skin
Hair shaft
32
* deep portion of the staff that penetrates to the dermis and sometimes hypodermis
Hair root
33
* onion-shape, bottom of the hair root
Hair bulb
34
Nipple-shaped protrusion on the hair bulb/root
Hair papilla
35
* Attached to the skin * Sudoriferous gland
Arrector Pili Muscles
36
3 concentric layer of the hair
* Medulla * cortex * cuticle
37
Inner layer of hair; seen in thick-stranded hair
Medulla
38
Outer layer of the hair
Cortex
39
* or "Piloerector muscle" * Smooth muscle responsible for goosebumps
Arrector Pili Muscle
40
* secretes oil or sebum
Sebaceous glands
41
2 types of sweat glands
Eccrine, apocrine
42
(sweat glands) more numerous, more abundant in palm, soles, forehead
eccrine sweat glands
43
(sweat glands) found in axillary, anal, and genital area
Apocrine sweat glands
