Describe hair as it relates to the skin.

A

Hair is composed of dead karatonizrd cells produced in a specialized hair follicles

161
Q

The portion that anchors the hair into the skin.

A

Hair root.

162
Q

A complex structure composed of epithelial and connective tissues that forms a single hair.

A

Hair follicle.

163
Q

The hair seen above the skins surface.

A

Hair shaft.

164
Q

The expanded base of the hair follicle.

A

Hair bulb.

165
Q

Consists of a layer of basal cells at the base of the hair bulb in contact with the hair papilla.

A

Hair matrix.

166
Q

How does hair grow?

A

During the active phase, the hair grows continuously, before undergoing regression and transitioning into the testing phase. During the testing phase, the hair loses its attachment to the follicle and becomes a club hair. The hair remains at the phase until reactivation, when the club hair is shed and the hair matrix begins producing a replacement.

167
Q

What is alopecia?

A

Terminal hairs are replaced with vellus hairs.

168
Q

What is lanula?

A

The free region of the nail surface.

169
Q

What are the five general functions of the skin?

A

Protection, temperature regulation, sensation, metabolism, and blood reservoir.

170
Q

What are the three major types of skin cancer?

A

Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma.

171
Q

Describe skin cancer.

A

The loss of control over cell division due to the mutations cause by overexposure to the UV radiation of sunlight.

172
Q

What are the major dangers associated with burn?

A

Burns can damage the integrity of large areas of the skin, and compromise many essential functions.

173
Q

How do we treat burns?

A

Replacement of lost fluids and electrolytes, providing sufficient nutrients to meet increased metabolic demands for thermoregulation and healing, preventing of infection by cleaning and covering the burn, assisting tissue repair.

174
Q

How do arterioles alter based upon body temperature?

A

Smooth muscle in the arteriole walls relax, allowing increased blood flow through the artery.

175
Q

What are lines of cleavage?

A

Bundles of collagen and elastic fibers oriented in parallel bundles to resist the forces applied during normal movement.

176
Q

What factors affect thinning hair and baldness?

A

Age, genes and stress.

177
Q

What functions do the various skin glands perform?

A

Sebaceous glands secrete sebum, sweat glands secrete wastes and assist in thermoregulation, and mucous glands secrete mucous

178
Q

How does aging affect the skin?

A

Drying and thinning of the epidermis and dermis, slow skin repair, fewer melinocytes.

179
Q

A condition that causes redness and often small, red, pus-filled bumps on the face.

A

Rosacea.

180
Q

Yellowing of the skin and eyes in relation to liver problems.

A

Jaundice.

181
Q

White patches over the skin due to a loss of mealocytes.

A

Vitiligo.

182
Q

Emotional or excercise induced reddening of the skin.

A

Redness.

183
Q

What is “normal” body temperature?

A

96-99 F.

184
Q

What are the two different types of sweat glands and what are their functions?

A

Eccrine and apocrine - regulation of body temperature, and nervous sweat.

185
Q

What are the two types of specialized sweat glands?

A

Ceruminous and mammary.

186
Q

Which glands produce oil and what function does the oil perform?

A

Sebaceous glands - costs the hair share and surrounding epidermal surfaces. It lubricants the hair shaft, moisturizers the skin, and inhibits the growth of bacteria.

187
Q

Produce keratin, a tough, fibrous protein.

A

Keratinocytes.

188
Q

Describe the two types of hair and state where they are found on the body?

A

Vellus, or thin light peach fuzz, is found all over the body. Terminal hair is thicker and dark, can at times be curly, and is found in the pubic and axillary regions.

189
Q

What layer of the epidermis is analogous to the hair matrix?

A

Stratum corneum.

190
Q

The nail root appears over the surface of the nail as the:

A

Cuticle.

191
Q

Is the exposed surface of both thick and thin skin. It normally contains 15 to 30 layers of keratinized cells.

A

Stratum corneum.

192
Q

In the thick skin of the palms and soles, it separates the stratum corneum from deeper layers.

A

Stratum lucidum.

193
Q

Consists of three to five layers of keratinocytes. By the time cells reach this layer, most have stopped dividing and have started making large amounts of keratin.

A

Stratum granulosum.

194
Q

Consists of 8-10 layers of keratinocytes bound together by desmosomes. Also contains dendritic cells, which participate in the immune response by stimulating defense against microorganisms that manage to penetrate the superficial layers of the epidermis, and superficial skin cancers.

A

Stratum spinosum.

195
Q

The basal layer of the epidermis. Hemidesmosomes attach the cells of this layer to the basement membrane that separates the epidermis from the areolar tissue.

A

Stratum basale.

196
Q

What skin receptor is responsible for the sense of light touch?

A

Tactile corpuscles.

197
Q

What are the four phases of tissue repair?

A

Inflammatory phase, migratory phase, proliferation phase, scarring phase.

198
Q

Immediately after the injury mast cells in the region trigger an inflammatory response.

A

Inflammatory phase.

199
Q

The blood clot or scab that forms at the surface temporarily restores the integrity of the epidermis and restricts the entry of additional micro organisms into the area. The scabs are red due to the presence of trapped red blood cells.

A

Migratory phase.

200
Q

One week after the injury the scab has been undermined by epidermal cells migrating over a meshwork produced by fibroblast activity. Phagocytic activity around the site has almost ended, in the blood clot is disintegrating.

A

Proliferation phase.

201
Q

After several weeks, the scab has been shed, in the epidermis is complete. A shallow depression marks the injury site but fibroblasts in the dermis continue to create scar tissue that will gradually elevate the overlying epidermis.

A

Scarring phase.
