LABS 7-11 (PART 2) Flashcards
Epidermis
Made up of stratified squamous epithelium and lacks blood vessels so nutrients must diffuse into it from underlying tissue
Dermis
Deeper tissue layer made of dense irregular connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers. It has two regions; papillary and reticular area
Papillary region
1/5 of the thickness of dermis, wavy, finger like projections that are thin in most areas of body. Some projections contain touch receptors and free nerve endings to detect temperature, pain and touch
Reticular region
Underneath papillary layer containing blood vessels, sudoriferous gland (sweat), and sabaceous gland (oil)
Hypodermis
Below dermis composed of areolar and adipose tissue
5 layers of epidermis:
- Stratum basal
- Stratum spinosum
- Stratum granulosum
- Stratum lucidum
- Stratum corneum
Stratum basal
Single row of rapidly dividing cuboidal or columnar keratinocytes (some are stem cells producing new keratinocytes)
Stratum spinosum
Thick layer consisting of 8-10 rows of tightly packed cells with spiny appearance
Stratum granulosum
3-5 layers of flattened cells undergoing apoptosis (programmed cell death) containing granules that increase in size as cells move towards outside
Stratum lucidum
Clear, flat, dead cells located only on especially thick areas such as soles of feet or palms of hand and thickness may vary
Stratum corneum
25-50 layers of dead cells containing keratin that regularly shed and constantly replaced. It is stratified squamous epithelium
For a tattoo to be permanent, what layer of the integument must the ink be inserted to and why
Ink must be injected into the dermis layer of the skin to be permanent. If ink was injected into the epidermis, the tattoo would not last and will eventually fade/disappear because of the shedding constantly occurring in this region of the skin where new cells replace the cells that shed
Do all 5 fingers have the same pattern
No
Do identical twins have the same fingertips
No
If the surface of the skin (epidermis) suffers an injury, would the ridges on fingertips grow back in the same pattern? What about dermis
If the epidermis is damaged, the ridges will still grow with the same pattern. However, if the dermis is damaged, the original ridge would be altered due to scarring
Physical functions of epidermal ridges (5)
- Decrease friction when in contact with smooth surfaces
- Promote interlocking with rough surfaces
- Channel excess water
- Prevent blistering
- Enhance tactile sensitivity
Long bone
Cylinder like shape, functions for leverage, eg, femur, tibia, fibula, metatarsal, metacarpal, humerus, ulna, radius, phalanges
Short bone
Cube like shape, functions for stability and support and some motion, eg. Carpals, tarsal
Flat bone
Thin and curved, functions as points of attachment for muscles and protect internal organ, eg. Sternum, ribs, scapulae, cranial bone
Irregular bone
Complex shape, functions for protecting internal organs, eg. Vertebrae, facial bone
Sesamoid bone
Small and rounded (embedded on tendon), functions in protecting tendons from compressive forces, eg. Patallae
Female pelvis characteristics (5):
- Pelvic weight; Lighter and thinner bones
- Pelvic inlet shape; Round/oval
- Lesser pelvic cavity shape; Shorter and wider
- Subpubic angle; Greater than 80 degrees
- Pelvic outlet; rounder and larger
Male pelvis characteristics (5):
- Pelvic weight; thicker and heavier bones
- Pelvic inlet shape; Heart shaped
- Lesser pelvic cavity shape; Longer and narrower
- Subpubic angle; Less than 70 degrees
- Pelvic outlet shape; Smaller
Which bone supports the skull
Atlas (C1)
What is the unique projection on the axis called
Dens or odontoid process
What does the projection on the axis allow for
Rotation of the skull
Parts of an osteon (3)
- Osteocytes
- Haversian canal (Central canal)
- Lamellae
Bones of the skull
Frontal (top), temporal (bottom), maxilla (top), mandible (bottom), parietal, occipital
Synarthrosis
Immovable joint
Amphiarthrosis
Slightly moveable joint
Diarthrosis
Freely moveable joint (flexion/extension, circumduction, rotation, gliding, abduction/adduction)
3 structural classification of joint
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
Types of fibrous joints (3)
- Suture –> synarthrosis, between skull bones
- Syndesmosis –> amphiarthrosis, distal end of fibula and tibula
- Gomphosis –> synarthrosis, binds teeth to socket
