17
Q

Other cells found in the Epidermis

A

Melanocytes, Dendritic, Merkel

18
Q

Dendritic Cells

A

Immune cells, alert the immune system

19
Q

Melanocytes

A

produce proteins called melanin, is controlled by gene and exposure to light

20
Q

Merkel Cells

A

receptors, know when the skin is touched

21
Q

The Dermis

A

largely compromised of dense irregular connective tissue, vascular and highly innervated

22
Q

Two Dermal Layers

A

Papillary and Recticular

23
Q

Papillary

A

Fingerprints in hands and feet, improves our grip

24
Q

Reticular

A

deep and thicker layer, has collagen (strength) and elastic fiber (flexibility)

25
Two main tissue of Hypodermis
Adipose(fat) and Areolar(structural strength)
26
Sweat Glands
Eccrine and Apocrine
27
Eccrine
Used for thermoregulation, 99% water
28
Apocrine
Scent gland found in axilla and anogenital regions, secrete lipids and proteins that can be metabolized by bacteria producing odor
29
Sebaceous Glands
produce sebum, makes hair and skin shiny,
30
Acne
Inflammation in the Sebaceous Glands
31
Mammary Glands
Modified apocrine gland that produces milk
32
Cerummious
Modified apocrine gland that produce ear wax
33
1st degree burn
Epidermis damage only, painful and red
34
2nd degree burn
Epidermis and Dermis, blisters
35
3rd degree burn
through epidermis, dermis, hypodermal, potentially muscle and bone
36
Rule of 9's
Estimate of area burned
37
Three main types of sin cancer
Basal Cell Carcinoma Squamous Cell Carcinoma Malignant Melanoma
38
Basal Cell Carcinoma
most common, least dangerous
39
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
frequently found on the scalp, ears, lips, hands (most exposed to sunlight)
40
Malignant Melanoma
Least common, most deadly
41
Screening for Melanoma
A= Asymmetry (does halves match each other?) B= Boarders (are edges irregular, indented, blurry?) C= color (abnormally dark, blue, red?) D= Diameter (larger than a pencil eraser?)
42
Changes from aging
-hair color turns gray or white, reduction/termination of melanin -slow to heal -collagen fiber decrease -elastic fibers lose elasticity -exposure to UV rays damage DNA, speeds aging
