Largest system in the body
Integumentary system
Epithelium of the epidermis
Stratified squamous epithelium
Cells that produce keratin
Keratinocytes
Produce the pigment melanin
Melanocytes
What is the embryonic origin of melanocutes and neuroglia?
Neural crest cells
Macrophage of the skin
Langerhans cells
Least numerous in epidermis and ate located at the stratum basale; essential for sense of touch
Merkel cells
Layers of the epidermis from the topmost to lower most layer.
Stratum corneum Stratum lucidum Stratum granulosum Stratum spinosum Stratum basale
Layer which has the highest mitotic activity of keratinocytes
Stratum basale
Layer where langerhans cells are present
Stratum spinosum
Collective term for the stratum basale and stratum spinosum
Stratum germinativum/malphigian layer
Disease associated with absence of melanin
Albinism
Disease associated with deficiency of melanin
Vitiligo
Layer of the epidermis where cells undergo apoptosis
Stratum granulosum
Converts tonofilaments to keratin
Keratohyaline granules
Layer of the epidermis which is found on thick skin
Stratum lucidum
Abnormal thickening of stratum corneum due to constant friction
Callus
Keratinocytes divide and move more quickly than normal
Psoriasis
Signs and symptoms of psoriasis
Silvery scales
Monroes abcess
Auspitz sign
Cardinal sign of psoriasis
Monroe’s abcess
2 layers of the dermis
Papillary layer and Reticular layer
Present here are the dermal papillae which are nipple like projections towards epidermis
Papillary layer
The major nutrient supplier of the skin and is attached to the subcutaneous layer of hypodermis
Reticular layer
Mechanoreceptor for touch
Merkel discs
Mechanoreceptor for touch and is numerous in thick skin
Meissner corpuscles
Mechanoreceptor for hot and stretch
Ruffini corpuscles or bulbous corpuscles
Mechanoreceptor for cold
End-bulb of Krause
Mechanoreceptor for pressure and proprioception
Pacinian corpuscles
Mechanoreceptor for proprioception found in joints
Proprioceptors
Mechanoreceptor for pain
Nociceptors
Sunken scar
Atrophic
Slightly elevated scar
Hypertrophic
Excessively elevated scar
Keloid
Melanin accumulation in some areas which are commonly termed as freckles
Ephelides
Melanocyte overgrowth
Mole/Nevus
Responsible for orange pigment of skin

Sudoriferous gland
Type of sweat glands that are found all over the body
Eccrine sweat glands
Sweat glands found mainly on the axilla, areola and perianal areas
Apocrine sweat glands
Secretes waxy material in the ear
Ceruminous glands
Allows calcium absorption in intestines
Calcitriol
Calcium deficiency after closure of epiphyseal plates
