Integumentary System Flashcards
what does the epidermis origin from
ectoderm ( surface)
how much does the skin make up the total body weight
16%
what is the dermis derived from
mesenchyme ( somtie)
initially the embryo is covered by what
a layer of ectodermal cells
what are the two layers of the ectodermal cells that the baby is covered in originally
peridurm and basal layer
when does the single layer of ectodermal cells divide into two
at the beginning of second month
what is another name for periderm
epitrichium
what is the “flattened” layer of cells in the ectodermal layers
peroderm
when does the periderm become the stratum corneum
after week 21
in the embryo the cells of the periderm continually undergo what
keratinization and desquamation
what are the exfoliated peridermal cells called
vernix caseosa
what will make sure that the baby will be easily able to slide out of the vagina and this will attach to the lanugo of the baby and look like white cheesy stuff
vernix caseosa
how many days does it take for cells in the basal layer to travel up
28
where are melanocytes derived from
neural crest cells
what does the vernix caseosa consist of
sebum from sebaceous glands and the dead cells from the periderm(corneum strata)
what protects the developing skin from constant exposure to amniotic fluid that has a high urine content
vernix
replacement of the peridermal cells continues till when? ( remember this is when the periderm becomes the stratum corneum)
week 21
what are epidermal ridges
they are proliferation of the stratum basal layer
what produces grooves on the surface of the palms and soles “fingerpirnts”
epidermal ridges
what can affect the development of ridge patterns
abnormal chromosome complements
what baby will have the pathognomonic sign, single palmar crease
trisomony 21
what is the result of melanocytes becoming mutated when they have had too musch exposure to the sun
melanoma
who can have acromelanoma and where will it appear
dark people
and it will be in the soles and palms of the body
what is the four step rule when examining Nevi
A- Asymmetry
B- Border
C- Color
D- Dimension
normal nevi should be how big
less then 5 mm
from what age is a child very susceptable to UV rays
0-6months
late in the embryonic stage nerual crest cells migrate to the dermis and differentiate into what
melanoblasts
where do melanoblast migrate too and differentiate into melanocytes
dermoepidermal junction
pigment can see in what babies
in dark races, not white
what are langerhann cells derived from
bone marrow ( mesoderm)
what does thick sin not have
arrector pili muscle or sebacous glands
the cells in the dermis have what origin
mesoderm
what wee do mesenchymal cells start to make collagenous and elastic CT fibers
week 11
what provides nurishment to the epidermis and is located in the papillary layer of the dermis
capillary loops
what is the formation of new capillaires? when does it start in utero
week 5- angiogenesis
when is the major vascualture of the fetus determined
by the end of the 1st trimester
what are known as epidermal downgrowths ) cellular buds) that go into the underlying mesenhcyme
eccrin sweat glands
when will baby start to sweat
a couple hours after birth
where are apocrine swet glands usually seen
in the axilla, pubic, and perineal regions and areaola of the nipples
which glands open into the upper part of the hair follicle
apocrine sweat glands
what are the group of skin disorders called that result from excessive keratinization
Ichtiosis
what is it called when the skin is very thick like they are covered in scales and the development of hair follicles are blocked
ichtiosis vulagris
wat defect has linear ruptures of the skin
ichtiosis vulgaris
how to treat ichtiosis vulgaris
corticosteroids
what is the rare keratinizing disorder that is autosomal recessive. the skin will be very thick, ridged, and cracked, the baby usually dies within the 1st week of life
harlequin fetus
