Integumentary system Flashcards
The 3 types of Epithelial membranes
Cutaneous membrane
Mucous membrane
Serous membrane
The Skin.
A dry membrane that’s the Outermost protective boundary
Cutaneous Membrane
Under the cutaneous membrane, Keratinized stratified
squamous epithelium
Superficial epidermis
Under the cutaneous membrane, Mostly dense
connective tissue
Underlying dermis
Underlying loose connective tissue (lamina propria)
Lines all body cavities that open to the exterior body surface
Often adapted for absorption or secretion
Mucous Membranes
Surface simple squamous epithelium
Underlying areolar connective tissue
Lines open body cavities that are closed to the exterior of the body
Serous layers separated by serous fluid
Serous Membranes
Serous layers separated by
serous fluid
Outer wall of the serous membrane
Pariental serosa
Inner wall of the serous membrane
Visceral serosa
Serous membrane of Abdominal cavity
Peritoneum
Serous membrane of the Lungs
Pleura
Serous membrane of the heart
Pericardium
A Connective tissue only that Lines fibrous capsules surrounding joints
Synovial membrane
the 4 Skin derivatives
Sweat glands
Oil glands
Hairs
Nails
Protects deeper tissues from:
Mechanical damage
Chemical damage
Bacterial damage
Thermal damage
Ultraviolet radiation
Desiccation
Skin
Aids in heat regulation
Aids in excretion of urea and uric acid
Synthesizes vitamin D
Skin
outer layer of the skin. It is a
Stratified squamous epithelium that Often keratinized (hardened by keratin)
Epidermis
a Dense connective tissue
Dermis
Deep to dermis is the _____.
It is Not part of the skin.
It anchors skin to underlying organs and
Composed mostly of adipose tissue
hypodermis
Layer of Epidermis
Stratum basale
Stratum spinosum
Stratum granulosum
Stratum lucidum
Stratum corneum
A Layer of epidermis where Cells undergoing mitosis
and lies next to dermis
Stratum basale
A layer of epidermis that Occurs only in thick skin
Stratum lucidum
A layer of epidermis that are Shingle-like dead cells
Stratum corneum
Pigment of the skin that is produced by melanocytes
Melanin
Pigment (melanin) produced by _______. They are mostly in the stratum basale
Melanocytes
The 2 layers of the Dermis
Papillary layer & Reticular layer
It is where Blood vessels, Glands, and Nerve receptors are located
Reticular layer
It is where Projections called dermal papillae, Pain receptors
, and Capillary loops are found
Papillary layer
Projections in the Papillary layer
Dermal Papillae
Yellow, brown or black pigments
Melanin
