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
Q

Two main tissue of Hypodermis

A

Adipose(fat) and Areolar(structural strength)

26
Q

Sweat Glands

A

Eccrine and Apocrine

27
Q

Eccrine

A

Used for thermoregulation, 99% water

28
Q

Apocrine

A

Scent gland found in axilla and anogenital regions, secrete lipids and proteins that can be metabolized by bacteria producing odor

29
Q

Sebaceous Glands

A

produce sebum, makes hair and skin shiny,

30
Q

Acne

A

Inflammation in the Sebaceous Glands

31
Q

Mammary Glands

A

Modified apocrine gland that produces milk

32
Q

Cerummious

A

Modified apocrine gland that produce ear wax

33
Q

1st degree burn

A

Epidermis damage only, painful and red

34
Q

2nd degree burn

A

Epidermis and Dermis, blisters

35
Q

3rd degree burn

A

through epidermis, dermis, hypodermal, potentially muscle and bone

36
Q

Rule of 9’s

A

Estimate of area burned

37
Q

Three main types of sin cancer

A

Basal Cell Carcinoma
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Malignant Melanoma

38
Q

Basal Cell Carcinoma

A

most common, least dangerous

39
Q

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

A

frequently found on the scalp, ears, lips, hands (most exposed to sunlight)

40
Q

Malignant Melanoma

A

Least common, most deadly

41
Q

Screening for Melanoma

A

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
Q

Changes from aging

A

-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
