whitish crescent of nail

24
fibrous connective tissue layer of skin highly sensitive and vascular
dermis
25
lies just under the epidermis,cone shaped help anchor epidermis to dermis contain blood vessels and nerve endings
reticular layer
26
exocrine glands with ducts into hair follicles produce oily substance called sebum
sebaceous glands
27
exocrine glands that secrete sweat
sudoriferous glands
28
connected to hair follicles axille, groin, and around the nipples
approcrine glands
29
more numerous than approcrine glands,they can be found in: palms of hands, soles of feet, forehead, part of external genetelia.
eccrine glands
30
specialized sudoriferous glands in breast, they secrete milk
mammary glands
31
specialized sudoriferous glands, they secrete ear wax
ceruminous glands
32
are distributed to the erector pili muscles they cause goose bumps
motor nerve fibers
33
stimulate the glands of skin both sebaceous and sudoriferous they detect pain, heat and pressure
secretory nerve fibers
34
detect painful sensations
free nerve endings
35
heat and cold sensors
thermoreceptors
36
detect pressure
mechanoreceptors
37
