outermost layer of the epidermis

31
Q

What layer of the epidermis is not in most samples?

A

lucidum

32
Q

What makes up the dermis?

A

mostly connective tissue with collagen and ELASTIC FIBERS

33
Q

What are the two layers of the dermis?

A
  1. Papillary Regions

2. Reticular Regions

34
Q

Papillary Region (of dermis)

A
  • superficial portion has AREOLAR TISSUE with elastic fibers

- dermal papillae

35
Q

Reticular Region (of dermis)

A
  • deeper portion of dermis

- DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE

36
Q

Functions of the epidermis:

A

acts as the body’s major barrier against the environment

37
Q

Functions of the dermis:

A

Holds most of the glands and nerve endings

-giving mechanical protection to the body from bumps and knocks; the collagen has an important role in this function
-providing oxygen and nutrients, via blood in the tiny vessels that run in the ground substance, to the living part of the epidermis
removing waste products of metabolism from the epidermis, which are also carried away in the blood
-providing shape and form to the body, by holding all its structures together
contributing to skin color, particularly in people with little melanin in the epidermis.
-Organs in the dermis have special functions of their own
regulation of body temperature through control of blood flow and sweating
skin sensations of touch, pain, heat and cold.

38
Q

At what point in development do the epidermal ridges (aka-fingerprints) form?

A

Form in the 3rd or 4th month of fetal development

39
Q

What do the accessory structures of the skin do?

A

-They function to protect the body and sweat glands regulate body temperature

40
Q

What accounts for the distribution and thickness of hair?

A

Genetics and hormones

41
Q

Where is hair found?

A

Not found on soles, palms, lips, nipples, external genitals

42
Q

Connects the dermis to the root sheath

A

arrector pili

43
Q

What are the four types of glands?

A
  1. Sebaceous glands
  2. Eccrine Glands
  3. Apocrine sweat glands
  4. Ceruminous glands
44
Q

Sebaceous Glands

A

Secretes sebum

45
Q

Eccrine glands

A
  • release water based solution with salts

- aid in cooling the surface of a person

46
Q

Apocrine sweat glands

A
  • produces protein and lipid rich secretions

- found in the axillary and groin regions

47
Q

Ceruminous glands

A
  • modified glands of the external ear

- secrete earwax/cerumen

48

Where is the arrestor pili muscle located?

A

near the hair follicles of all mammals

Q

Which muscle tissue type is the arrector pili muscle?

A

smooth muscle

50
Q

Frequent cell division occurs in the

A

stratum basale

51

What fibers are associated with the dermis?

A

Elastic Fibers

52

root

53
Q

Structure of the hair:

A
  • root

- shaft

54
Q

Both the root and shaft of the hair are compose of _____

A

epithelial cells that have become keratnized

55
Q

The hair follicle is composed of:

A
  • internal and external root sheath

- connective tissue root sheath

56
Q

What is at the base of each hair follicle?

A

bulb

57
Q

What does the hair papilla contain?

A

in the bulb. contains areolar tissue, blood vessels, and nerves

58
Q

bulbs contain the hair papilla and what else?

A

a germinal layer of hair cells
