Q

Function stratum cornea

A

surface layer, which acts as a barrier against infections. Skin cells grow from the inside out; once cells reach the surface, they’re completely dead and keratinized.
These cells are packed closely together and serve as a water-resistant covering for the body. There’s an extensive amount of cell turnover in the skin, which is the process in which cells continuously die and are replaced by new ones. Your skin is constantly shedding these dead cells into the environment.

Q

Function statum lucidum

A

Found just below the stratum corneum on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet only. This layer provides additional protection for these high-use areas. Cells in this layer appear clear.

Q

Function stratum granulosum

A

Layer in which cells begin the protection process and are then distributed among the layers. These cells produce melanin, a type of protein that gives color to hair and skin.
Skin color has nothing to do with the numbers of melanocytes; instead, skin color is determined by the amount of melanin produced by the melanocytes
The stratum granulosum is the first layer not to be nourished by the dermis, so the cells start to die here, forming kreatin in the process.

Located between the epidermis and the subcutaneous layer.
It contains blood and lymph vessels, as well as nerve fibers.
The dermis also contains hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands.
Several types of connective tissue cells and collagen fibers support the hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands.

Collagen

A

gluey protein found in skin, connective tissue, bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
Collagen fibers provide the skin with its strength and elasticity. Because of collagen, skin can stretch- as it does during weight gains and pregnancy- and return to its normal shape again.
When the collagen fibers are overstretched, they break and form linea marks called stretch marks.

Q

Subcutaneous or hypodermal layer

A

Connective tissue layer that attaches the skin to the muscles and to other tissues lying beneath the skin.
Technically speaking, the subcutaneous layer isn’t actually part of the integumentary system because it’s made of connective tissue.
It’s sometimes called superficial fascia. Fascia is the tissue that provides support and protection for the organs.
The subcutaneous layer provides a link between the integumentary system and the other body system it covers. It serves to shape the body.
The subcutaneous layer also specializes in the production of fat.

Q

Purpose of lipocytes

A

To manufacture and store large quantities of fat.
You need fat to maintain good health. It helps protect your underlying organs from mechanical shock as the body moves.
It also serves as insulation and, therefore, helps to keep the body warm.
When there’s no food to eat, fat becomes an energy source.
On the other hand, excessive fat stores are bad for your health.

Q

Pressure ulcers (or decubitus ulcers)

A

Are specifically caused by direct pressure due to prolonged immobility. When someone is sitting or lying down for long periods, ulcers may occur at the points that bear the most pressure, such as the heels, tailbone (coccyx), elbows and the back of the head. Patients that are immobile due to stroke, coma, or other serious diseases are at the greatest risk for developing pressure ulcers. Once an ulcer has formed, it doesn’t heal unless aggressive measures are taken to relieve the pressure. The ulcers may require surgery to remove dead or infected tissue.

156
Q

A first-degree burn

A

Is a minor burn.
There may be some redness and discomfort, blistering usually doesn’t occur and little tissue is destroyed.
First-degree burns are labeled as superficial burns.
If blisters do form, the upper layers of the epidermis may peel within one to three days.
Healing usually takes about a week.

157
Q

Second-Degree Burn

A

Causes injury to the top layers of the dermis.
Second-degree burns are labeled as partial-thickness burns. Although these burns damage sweat glands, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands, the dermis isn’t completely destroyed.
A second-degree burn is characterized by blisters, severe pain, generalized swelling, and fluid loss and usually results in scarring. Healing takes about two weeks.

158
Q

Third-Degree Burn

A

The most severe and generally cause no pain at first because of the damage to the nerve endings.
In this type of burn, the epidermis and dermis have been completely destroyed, and the damage extends below the dermis to the subcutaneous layer.
Third-degree burns are labeled as full-thickness burns, wherein the damage goes into the fat, muscle and bone.
Someone with third-degree burns has a high risk of infection from loss of the protective skin layers and may experience a loss of body fluids.
Third-degree burns usually require skin grafting- a type of surgery in which the burned skin is removed and replaced with skin from another location. However, the larger the surface area affected by the burn, the greater the risk of complication or death.

159
Q

Treatment Options for Burns

A

A first-degree burn usually requires no treatment and heals on its own. A second-degree burn may require topical antibiotics such as silver sulfadiazine (Silverdene) or pain relievers. Severe burns require hospitalization, skin grafting, hydration, and intravenous antibiotics.

160
Q

218
Q

Diarthrosis joints

A

Allow a wide variety of movement, ranging from many directions to one or two directions. This range of movement is possible because a small space, or joint cavity, exists between the two joining bones and allows bones to move freely. Diarthrosis joints are also called synovial joints. Examples of diarthrosis joints are the shoulder, wrist, thumb, hip, knee, and ankle joints.

  • Skeletal muscle cells are
    unusual because they contain
    more than one nucleus.
  • Each cell, or muscle fiber, is an
    elongated structure with
    striations and multiple nuclei.
  • Compared to other types of
    muscle, skeletal muscle is
    capable of forceful and rapid
    contractions under voluntary
    control.
224

A sprained joint, if severe, may require surgical repair and may result in prolonged immobility.

273
Q

Spasm

A

A spasm or cramp is a condition characterized by the undesired, prolonged contraction of a muscle. Spasms can range from painless to extremely painful and can occur after vigorous exercise.
Muscle spasms can accompany a joint or bone problem because the surrounding muscles are forced to contract constantly to compensate for any joint dysfunction.
