Integumentary Test review Flashcards
myogenic response
When smooth muscles contract in response to being stretched. this contraction isn’t indefinite, but ends after a certain period of time.
Multi-unit smooth muscles
Receive stimulation to contract individually. Found in eye and ciliary muscles, walls of large air passageways, walls of large arteries.
Single unit muscle cells
Contract in unison. Digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts,
origins
fixed attachments of muscle
attachments
movable end of a muscle
agonist
primary muscle responsible for a movement
antagonist
muscle apposing agonist
synergists
muscles that help the agonist
fleshy attachments
direct attachment of muscle to bone
tendinous attachment
attached via tendon
aponeurotic attachment
flat tendinous sheet
where are the keratinocytes produced?
Stratum basal
What cell type is stratum basal
cuboidal or columnar epithelial cells- one layer
where is the stratum basal located?
Bottom layer of epidermis rightly next to dermis
Merkel cells
Tactile cells- light touch- release chemical that stimulates nerve endings
how fast does epidermis regenerate?
25-50 days
Microscope slide appearance
next to all the fingerlike projections of the Demis.
Stratum spinous slide appearance
spike like
has langerhans cells that play a role in immunity
lucidum
light- only in hands and feet
corner
outermost layer of the epidermis- remember cause cornea of the eye is outermost layer of eye
thick
no nucleus visible
thick skin in hands or feat- defining features
lucidum and no sabacious glands
thin skin
sweat glands, oil (sabacious) glands, hair present
what is the dermis made of?
mostly connective tissue- high concentrations of fibroblasts.
two layer of dermis
papillary layer and reticular layer
