Test 2 (chap 6-8) Flashcards
integumentary system
skin is the largest organ, includes: hair, fingernails, sensory receptors, and glands
skin is made of…
2 layers. epidermis - outer layer we see. dermis - deeper layer with nerve endings
subcutaneous layer (hypodermis)
is under the dermis, made of adipose which is fatty tissue
identify which layers the skin the epidermis and dermis are
epidermis - top layer
dermis - bottom layer
how many layers of the epidermis are there
4-5 layers
layers of the epidermis - stratum basale
the bottom layer made of stratified squamous
layers of the epidermis - stratum corneum
the outer most layer that sluff’s off and dies
basement membrane
separates the 2 layers epidermis and dermis
melanocytes
produce melanin (colors skin) and are in the deepest area of epidermis
factors that impact skin color and tone
environment, blood, diet, and disease
skin cancer types and abcde
carcinoma
melanoma - most severe
ABCDE - asymmetry, border, diameter, evolving
dermis
dense connective tissue, things in this area: blood vessels, nerve tissue, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands
sebaceous glands
produce oil to keep skin and hair soft
sweat glands
controlled by exocrine gland? release sweat
eccrine gland
for body temp
apocrine gland
related more to stress of arousal
body temperature regulation
vasodilation which increases blood flow that carries away heat. does this by eccrine gland releasing sweat/shivering to get warm
signs of inflammation
redness, swelling, heat, pain, dysfunction
shallowing wound healing
epithelial tissue divides faster, and then cells fill in the gaps
function of bone
support, protection, movement, blood cell production, and storage of inorganic salts
be able to identify the different types of bones
- long bones (femur)
- short bones (metatarsals)
- flat bones (scapula)
- irregular bones (vertebrae)
