Special Skin Flashcards
what are the 5 layers of hair follicle
Hair shaft
intnerla root sheath
external root sheath
glassy membrane
fibrocollagengous connective tissue
what is below the hair follicle
Hair bulb
what is below the hair bulb
dermal hair pailla
what are the different areas of hair shaft
medualla - soft keratin
cortex - hard keratin
Cuticle
anagen
growth period of hair
what is telogen
inacivtity period of hair
catagen
regression period
what adds pigment to the hair shaft
mealocytes in the hair bulb
what happens to internal root sheath at the level of sebaceous gland
degenerate
before the sebaceous gland
it will grow along the hair shaft
what does the basal membrane seperatate
hair follicle + dermis
what is the arrector pilli muscle
smooth muscle
where is it
midpoint of the outer connective tissue sheath to the dermal papillae
what does it reiceve information from
symapethic nervous system
causing isolation
what type of glands are sebaceous gland
holocrine glands
simple or branches alvolear
what do they produce
sebum
what does this help
help with skin become supple and water resistance
what do they look like
pale staining ovoid masses with thin connective tissue capsule with a central nuclei
what is the sebum
lipid rich dedecamped cells
what is the function of sebum
it is oily mixture which helps make skin supply and water resistiant
what surrounds each alveolous
thin connective tissue
what do the alveolous open up into
common duct that are lined with stratified squamous epithelium which is continuous with the outer epithelial sheath o fthe hair follicle
once being released where do the sebum go
to the skin surface
what does each sebaceous gland contain
a peripheral layer of mitcocially active cuboidal cells
what does this give rise to
allows the accumlation of large amount of lipids in the cytoplasm
what is the pilosebceous unit made of
hair
hair follicle
sebaceous glands
arrector pili muscle
what do the keratinocytes that make up the hair bulb cosntalty undergoing
kernisation differintion into spefific hair types
what does thick hair form
they form medualla
How is a medulla formed by
central region of the root produce large vaculoated keratinsied cells
what forms the cortex
differeination into heavy kernatised groups of cells form the cortex
what forms thr cuticle
the peripheral cells that are heavily keratinised form the cuticle
what does the internal root sheath compelelty surround
the intiial part of the hair shaft
what does the external root sheath cover
the internal sheath
where does it extend to
all the way to the epidermis
what is it continuous with there
the basal and spinous layer
what is the glassly membrane
thickened basement membrane
what does the surrounding dermis form
connective tissue sheath
