PVD and integumentary disorders Flashcards
3 layers of arteries
tunica interna
tunica media
tunica externa
arteries are contractile while veins are
elastic
pressure in veins
8-10 mmHg
lymphatic system function
protects body from infection and disease via immune response
movement of fluid between blood stream and interstitial space to remove excess fluid and blood waste
filter harmful substances and waste products
lymphatic system located in all parts of the body except
cns and cornea
flow of the lymph
lymph capillaries –> precollectors –> superficial lymph collecting vessel –> deep lymph collecting vessels
usually swollen nodes when you have sipon or ubo
cervical lymph nodes
submandibular lymph nodes
layers of epidermis (deepest to superficial)
stratum basale
stratum spinosum
stratum granulosum
stratum lucidum
stratum corneum
stratum basale
deepest
cuboidal to columnar cells
stem cells producing keratinocytes
stratum spinosum
prickle cell layer
8-10 cell layers
polyhedral cells with cytoplasmic processes called spines -> contact neighboring cells by desmosomes
stratum granulosum
3-5 cell layers
diamond shape cells
function as glue
stratum lucidum
2-3 layers
present in thicker skin usually in palms or soles
thin clear layer consisting of eleidin –> product of keratohyalin
stratum corneum
most superficial
20-30 cell layers
uppermost layer made of dead keratinocytes
varies most in thickness
callous skin = thicker
dermis contains
connective tissue, papillary and reticular layers
receptors (corpuscles)
hair follicles & shaft
arrector pili muscle
blood vessels
sweat glands
oil glands
