Lecture exam #3: Integumentary & Skeletal Flashcards
Nail Structure: nail plate
visible, hard keratin
Nail structure: nail bed
skin beneath nail plate
Nail structure: nail matrix
base of nail where new nail cells form
Nail structure: lunula
crescent moon at the nail base
Nail structure: cuticle
thin layer that overlaps nail plate
Hair types: Lanugo
fine hair that covers a newborn; sheds eventually
Hair types: Vellus
fine, un-pigmented hair on adult; peach fuzz
Hair types: Terminal
coarse, pigmented hair; head, pubic, armpit
Hair function: Insulation
heat trapping
Hair function: Protection
UV ray protection
Hair function: sensory function
sense of touch and stimuli
Hair function: social
identity
Apocrine
- thick, milky sweat
- armpit & groin
- puberty
Merocrine
- thin, watery
- all over the body
- thermoregulation
Accessory gland function: Sebaceous
- sebum secretion
- skin & hair moisturizer
- puberty
Accessory gland function: Ceruminous
secretes earwax; protects ear canal
Accessory gland function: Mammary
sweat glands at breast; breastfeeding
Regeneration
- damaged tissue replaced with original tissue
- only possible w/ high cell division capacity; skin
Fibrosis
- damaged tissue replaced w/ scar tissue
- low capacity cell division areas; nerve tissue
Burns: 1st degree
- affects epidermis
- red & dry
- no blistering
- week of healing
Burns: 2nd
- affects epidermis & dermis
- red & blistered
- several weeks of healing w/ scarring potential
Burns: 3rd
- destruction of epidermis, dermis, and potentially fat, bone, and muscle
- white, charred, and leathery
- potential for skin grafting
Changes in integument w/ age: Thinning
decrease in elasticity, more injury prone
Changes in integument w/ age: Loss of collagen & elasticity
skin sagging & wrinkles
