Stratum Corneum
“horny layer”
Stratum Lucidum
“clear layer”

“spiny layer”
Stratum Basale
“basement layer”
what layer of the dermis is most superficial
papillary
composition and function of papillary layer
composed of areolar tissue. contains the capillaries, lymphatic vessels, and sensory neurons that supply and nourish the surface of the skin
ductless gland that secrets hormones into interstitial fluid or bloodstream
endocrine gland
secretes no-hormal substances onto external surfaces or internal passageways
exocrine gland
alveolar gland that secretes onto skins surfaces
sebaceous gland
distributed all over the surface of the body except nips, external genitalia, lips
sweat gland
Secretions are enclosed in vesicles that move to the apical surface of the cell where the contents are released by exocytosis
merocrine
secretory products accumulate near the apical portion of the cell
apocrine gland
cell accumulates its secretory products and releases them by the rupture and destruction of entire gland cell
holocrine gland
hypotonic filtrate of blood that passes through secretory cells of sweat
eccrine gland
ceruminous gland
line external ear canal and secretes sticky, bitter substance called cerumen
mammary gland
secretes milk
mixture of triglycerides, cholesterol, proteins, and electrolytes that softens and lubricates hair and surrounding skin and also has anti-bacterial properties.
sebum
medical condition characterized by a bluish coloration of the skin, resulting from sustained reduction of blood flow that decreases available oxygen and deepens the red coloration of hemoglobin.
