* Involves melanocytes. * Highly metastatic and resistant to chemotherapy * Treated by wide surgical excision & immunotherapy * **Can cause a decrease in the number of melanocytes and Langerhans cells.** * melanin-black
29
Melanoma Characteristics, ABCD rule
* Asymmetry: the 2 sides of the pigmented area do not match * Border: exhibits indentations * Color: is black, brown, tan, sometimes red or blue * Diameter: is larger than 6mm
30
Functions of Bone & Skeletal System: Mineral Storage of Bone
Calcium & Phosphorus are stored and can be released into blood to maintain homeostasis.
31
Moh's Surgery
Microscopically controlled surgery to treat common types of skin cancer. After each removal of tissue, the patient waits and the pathologist examins the tissue specimen for cancer cells
32
Nevus
a benign localized overgrowth of melanocytes. "mole"
33
Origin of Carcinoma
Cancer that begins in a tissue that lines the inner or outer surfaces of the body, and that generally arises from cells originating in the **endodermal or ectodermal germ layer during embryogeness**.
34
Papillary Layer
Superficial layer of the Dermis. Has dermal papilla- fingerline projections that increase surface area and have sensors. Thin layer
35
**Pseudostratified. Tissue appears stratified but is actually a single layer of tall and short cells. All cells touch the basement membrane of the tissue.**
36
Reticular layer
* Deep layer of the Dermis. * Reticular = network. * Composed of a network of proteins, primarily COLLAGEN fibers.
37
What are the Functions of Sebaceous glands?
* Secretes an **oily** substance called **Sebum**. * Functions: * keeps hair from drying out * Prevents excessive evaporation of water from the skin * keeps skin soft * inhibits the growth of certain bacteria
37
Sarcoma
Cancer that arises from transformed cells of mesenchymal origin. Malignant tumors made of cancerous bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, vascular, or hematopoietic tissues are sarcomas.
38
**Simple Columnar. Single layer of column-shaped cells. Basal nuclei are oval in cross section.** Found in the digestive tract and excretory ducts of some glands. Ciliated columnar cells line the fallopian tubes, bronchi, and spinal cord.
39
**Simple Squamous (section). Single layer of flat cells with large central nuclei.** This is a picture of interior lining of blood vessel
41
**Simple Squamous.** **Single layer of flat cells with large central nuclei.** Found in alveoli, glomerular central body cavity and viscera. "scale like"
42
How does the skin help protect the body?
Skin provides physical, chemical, and biological barriers to help protect the body
42
45
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
* Involves **Keratinocytes** of stratum spinosum. * Most common on scalp, ears, lower lip, and hands * Good prognosis if treated by **radiation therapy** or removed surgically
46
**Stratified Columnar. Contains one or more layers of columnar cells and a basal layer of cuboidal cells.** Found in few places (spiglottis, urethra, and some glands)
47
**Stratified Cuboidal.** This tissue is **usually composed of two layers of cuboidal cells.** It is found in the ducts of sweat, salivary, and mammary glands.
48
**Stratified Squamous. (Keratinized). This tissue is composed of several cell shapes. At the basal layer they are cuboidal or columnar, but are transformed squamous cells as they approach the surface. Forms the epidermis of skin**.
49
Functions of Bone & Skeletal System: Support
Structural framework
50
Tissue Types
Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, Nervous
51
**Transitional. Has appearance of stratified squamous tissue except oter cells are rounded which allows for stretching.** Found in the lining of the urinary bladder and ureters.
52
Functions of Bone & Skeletal System: Triglyceride storage
Yellow bone marrow consists mainly of adipose cells, which store tryglycerides. A chemical energy reserve.
53
What are 4 types of cells in the Epidermis?
Keratinocytes, tactile cells, melanocytes, Langerhans cells
54
What are Eccrine glands? (functions, location)
* Most prevalent sweat glands * Distributed throughout most of the body * ​skin * forehead * palms * soles of feet * ​Body temperature regulation through evaporation; emotional sweating.
55
What is a Keritinocyte?
keratin-hornlike. 90% of epidermal cells. Arranged in layers and produce the protein keratin. Helps to protect skin and water proof it.
57
What is a Langerhans cell?
Participate in the immune system. Have pseudopods and act as phagocytes to ingest antigens. Are mobile.
58
Where are Apocrine Sweat Glands found?
* Axilla * Groin * Areolae of the Breasts (pigmented areas around the nipples) * Bearded Regions
59
Where are Ceruminous Glands located?
Present in outer ear canal. (The combined secretion of the ceruminous and sebaceous glands is a yellowish secretion called cerumen or **earwax)**
60
What is Diploe(..)
Spongy bone that contains red marrow
61
Give example of long, short, flat, and irregular bones
long bone-femur short bone- carpals flat bones- scapulae, ribs irregular bones- vertebrae
62
What is a trabeculae?
Small beams of spongy bone. usually composed of collageous tissue.
63
What is an Osteoclast?
-clast = break. Large Phagocytic cell that Breaks down bone matrix by use of enzyme. Formed by monocyte and macrophage fusion (both WBCells)
64
What is the origin of connective tissue
mesenchymal cells.
65
Name 4 types of bone cells
(osteo) -genic, -blast, -cyte, -clast
66
Osteogenic cell
* -genic = produce. * Only bone cell that divides. * Derived from mesenchyme tissue * develops into osteoblast
67
Osteoblast
* -blast = sprout/grow * Uses collagen fibers and other components to form the matrix of the bone. * Once matrix is formed osteoblast is surrounded and becomes a osteocyte.
68
Osteocyte
* -cyte = cell that maintains tissue * Mature bone cell. * Maintains metabolism
69
Osteoclast
* -clast = break * breaks down bone matrix= **resorption** * **​for regular maintainace, repair, and growth** * large phagocytic cell made from fusion of monocytes and macrophages * uses enzymes
70
Collagen Fiber
* colla- = glue. * very strong * flexible * contian collagen protein * very abundent * Found in most connective tissues
71
Keratin
* keratino- = hornlike * arranged in 4-5 layers and produce keratin protein. a tough fibrous protein that helps protect the skin
72
What is a cell junction?
* points of contact between plasma membranes that tightly join in order to make functional units. * can be super tight * can be very loosly held * some have channels
73
Gap Junctions
intercellular channels. These permit the free passage between the cells of ions and small molecules. cylindrical. able to open and close
74
Desmosome junction
Desmosomes are localized patches that hold two cells tightly together. (analogy: welding spots)
