quiz 4 - integumentary & skeletal systems Flashcards
components of integumentary system
skin (cutaneous membrane), hair, oil glands, sweat glands, nails, sensory receptors
what are the functions of integumentary system
temperature regulation, blood storage, protection, sensation detection, excretion and absorption, vitamin D synthesis
cells that make up epidermis
keratinocytes, intraepidermal macrophages (Langerhans cells), melanocytes, tactile epithelial cells (Merkel cells)
which epidermal cell produces lamellar granules
keratinocytes
which epidermal cells do phagocytosis (immune response)
intraepidermal macrophages/langerhans cells
which epidermal cells produce pigment and protect from UV damage
melanocytes
which epidermal cells detect touch
tactile epithelial disks/merkel cells
_____ is the movement of cells from one epidermal layer to the next
keratinization
what are the 4 layers of thin skin
stratum basale, spinosum, granulosum, corneum
what are the 5 layers of thick skin
stratum basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum
this layer of epidermis has a cytoskeleton/tonofilaments/keratin intermediate filaments
stratum basale
this layer of epidermis has a role in forming new cells (does mitosis)
stratum basale
lamellar granules that make a lipid rich secretion are present in the keratinocytes of which layer of epidermis
stratum granulosum
this layer of epidermis has lots of keratin, is only present in thick skin, and provides toughness
stratum lucidum
this layer of epidermis cells are thin & flat, enclosed by a plasma membrane filled with lots of keratin, and no longer contain a nucleus or organelles. friction stimulates increased cell & callus production.
stratum corneum
this layer of epidermis has up to 50 layers of mostly dead, flat, keratin containing cells
stratum corneum
this layer of cutaneous membrane is made up of dense irregular connective tissue, contains collagen and elastic fibres, and has a papillary and reticular region
dermis
what are the 2 layers of the dermis
papillary and reticular
which region of dermis contains collagen and elastic fibres, free nerve endings, capillary loops, Meissner’s corpuscles/tactile receptors, and helps with adhesion and nutrients
papillary region
which region of dermis is also considered part of the subcutaneous layer, has areolar and adipose tissue, stores fat, contains large blood vessels that supply skin, and lamellated/pacinian corpuscles (pressure receptors)
reticular region
melanocytes contain _____ which synthesizes melanin
melanosome
t/f: pigment responsible for skin colour and hair colour is due to how many melanocytes are present
FALSE. due to amount of melanin produced
which layer of skin are tactile discs found
epidermis
which layer of skin are meisner’s touch corpuscles found
dermis
which layer of skin are pacinian corpuscles found
dermis and hypodermis
what can the skin absorb
lipid based materials (vitamins DEAK), gases (O2, CO2), toxins, topicals (steroids aka cortisone)
enzymes in the liver and kidneys aid in calcium absorption as a result of ____
vitamin D
______ enhances phagocytic activity, regulates immune function, reduces inflammation
vitamin D
hair is made up of…
keratinized epidermal cells bonded by extracellular proteins
_____ of the hair is made up of 2-3 rows of irregularly shaped cells containing pigment
medulla
_____ of the hair has shingles (free edges towards the end of hair)
cuticle
this part of the hair arises from stratum basale and is responsible for growth of hair and production of new hair when old hair sheds
hair matrix
these 2 things are associated with hairs
sebaceous glands and smooth muscle (arrector pili)
what surrounds each hair follicle and is sensitive to touch
hair root plexus
these hormones are produced by male and female gonads during puberty and are responsible for pattern of hair growth
androgens
this type of hair is nonpigmented, present by 5 months in utero, and is replaced by terminal hair prior to birth in eyebrows, eyelashes, and scalp
lanugo
this hair type is coarse and heavily pigmented
terminal hair
this hair type replaces lanugo (other than that of scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes) until puberty, when androgens cause it to be replaced by terminal hair
vellus
hair can be different colours because of ____
amount of melanin in keratinized cells
