TEST 1 INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Flashcards
What is integument?
Skin
What are the three characteristics of the epidermis?
Most superficial layer, avascular, and keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
What do holocrine glands excrete?
Oil
What is a comedo? What is an opened and closed comedo?
Sebum plugged sebaceous gland. Opened=black head, closed=white head
What does the sebaceous gland secrete?
Produce oily secretion which coats epidermis and hair
What colors does hemoglobin give off?
Pink or blue
What are tactile cells?
Sense touch
What kind of tissue does the reticular have?
Dense irregular CT
What are the five stratum of the dermis? (Deep to superficial)
Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum
What is the function of the nails?
Protection of the digits
What is friction ridges? And example
Folds in epidermis for grasping ex. Fingertips
What does thick skin contain?
Swear glands only
What does the reticular layer contain?
Blood vessels, collagen, hair follicles, glands and nerves
How does the integumentary system use sensory perception?
Tactile cells (Merkle cells)
What is the anatomy of apocrine gland?
Large coiled tubes
What is a cyst?
Fluid filled nodule
How does the integumentary system use metabolic regulation?
The UV rays turn into vitamin d which turns into calcium and phosphorus and is absorbed
What are the three types of hair?
Lanugo, vellus, terminal
What are the two characteristics of the hypodermis?
Deepest, highly vascularized
What does the papillary layer contain?
Dermal papillae and epidermal ridges, capillaries and sensory receptors
How does the integumentary system use excretion/secretion?
Perspiration and sebum (oily substance used for lubrication)
What connective tissue is found in the papillary layer?
Aerolar CT
What is terminal hair?
Coarse, pigmented and longer
what are the three regions of of hair?
Shaft, bulb, and root
What pigments are found in skin?
Hemoglobin, melanin, carotene
How many layers is stratum granulosum?
3-5 layers
What is a nevus? And an example
Overgrowth of melanocytes EX. Mole
How many layers are there in thin skin?
4
What are the layers of CT in the dermis?
Papillary layer and reticular layer
What is a nodule?
Deeper pus filled legion
