Q

The Layers of the Dermis

Q

Appendages of the Skin

Modification of the epidermis

19
Q

The Hair

A small canal opening upon the skin surface and extending down the dermis or even the subcutaneous tissue.

A

Hair follicle

20
Q

The Hair

Part below the skin level lying in a hair follicle.

A

Root of a hair

21
Q

The Hair

Inner enlarged end of each hair root

22
Q

Appendages of the Skin

  • Small secreting glands that lie beside and open into hair follicles.
  • Secretes oily substance called sebum.
  • Lubricates hair and skin.
A

Sebaceous Gland

23
Q

Appendages of the Skin

  • Simple tubelike glands consisting of a single canal or duct, and a coiled secreting part.
  • Secrete watery solution containing sodium chloride and minute quantities of other waste products including urea.
A

Sweat or Sudoriferous Gland

24
Q

Appendages of the Skin

Modified sweat glands located in the external ear that secrete wax into the external acoustic (auditory
meatus)

A

Ceruminous Glands

25
Q

Appendages of the Skin

Consists of areolar (loose connective tissue) forms a layer between the skin and such structures as muscles, bones, or organs that lie deep to the skin.

A

Subcutaneous Tissue

26
Q

What are the Functions of the Skin

A
  • Protective covering to prevent injury or destruction of underlying tissues.
  • Excretes water and some waste products.
  • Helps regulate body temperature.
  • Contains sensory receptors of sensory nerves, and transmit to the brain, sensations of the external environment.
27
Q
  • Glands are organized units of epithelial cells that extract raw materials from capillaries and intercellular
    spaces and manufacture new substances or secretions.
A

Secreting Glands

28
Q

What are the two types of Secreting Glands

A
  • Endocrine Glands
  • Exocrine Glands
29
Q

What are the Classifications of Exocrine Glands

A
  • Simple tubular gland
  • Branched tubular gland
  • Simple saccular or alveolar gland
  • Branch saccular or alveolar gland
  • Combined tubualveolar gland
30
Q

The Nail

  • is the white part of the nail body, shaped like a half-moon close to the nail root
31
Q

Layers of Epidermis

  • Consists of a layer of columnar cells that forms the deepest part of the skin
  • Contains a pigment that determines the darkness of skin
A

Stratum germinativum/ Germinal or basal cell layer
