Where you’re at in the human body
Dermatomes
Neural assessment
I.e. sensory and motor deprivation
The epidermis is a…
Stratified squamous epithelium
Epidermis is made up of how many layers?
4-5
What is the deepest layer of the epidermis and what activity is high?
Stratum basale/germinativum and high mitotic activity
The stratum basale is… and…?
Innervated and avascular
Superficial layer of the epidermis?
Stratum corneum
How are cells like in the layer of the stratum corneum?
Dead and keratinized
Between the stratum germinativum and stratum corneum are?
Several transitional layers represented by cells from the stratum germinativum that are transforming into dead, keratinized cells
What is the deepest region of the integument?
Dermis
4 characteristics of the dermis?
