Tissues/Integumentary System Flashcards
Integumentary system
consist; SKIN, HAIR, NAILS, sev. GLANDS
Epidermis
OUTERMOST Superficial layer (Stratified squamous = PROTECTION)
Stratum basale
single layer attached to Basement membrane; DEEPEST layer
Melanocytes
cell; produce Melanin
Melanin
skin Pigment from Melanocytes
Stratum spinosum
layer; cells ABOVE the Strata basale
Stratum granulosum
layer; Keratohyalin granules accumulate in cells
Keratohyalin
Granule (Secretory vesicle) precursor of Keratin (locate; OUTERMOST Epidermis)
Stratum lucidum
transparent band of flat DEAD Keratinocytes (locate; Thick Skin)
Stratum corneum
tough OUTERMOST layer of KERATINIZED cells
Keratinocytes
cells; produce Keratin
Keratin
protein; PROTECTIVE
Dermis
structural integrity of Skin
Papillary Layer
Areolar C.T. w/Collagen & Elastic fibers
Papillae
bumps; interlock w/Epidermis & provide Adhesion between 2 layers
Reticular Layer
COLLAGEN fibers = STRENGTH & RESISLENCY to SKIN + ELASTIC fibers = STRETCH
Tactile (Meissner) corpuscles
Light touch receptor; in UPPER Dermis
Tactile (Merkel) discs
Light touch receptor; in UPPER Dermis & LOWER Dermis
Lamellar (Pacinian) corpuscles
receptor; sense PRESSURE (Vibration, Skin)
Warm/Cool receptors
sense TEMP. (in comfortable temp = both receptors FIRE)
Pain receptors
Naked nerve endings; respond to ENVIRONMENTAL stimuli + skin temp. BEYOND range of receptors FIRE ( in DERMIS)
Hypodermis
SUBCUTANEOUS layer; DEEP in Skin
Sudoriferous (sweat) gland
ECCRINE & APOPCRINE glands produce SWEAT
Merocrine (eccrine) gland
ECCRINE, TEMP. Sensitive (soles of FEET, PALM, FOREHEAD)
Apopcrine sweat gland
Activate after PUBERTY- BO (ARMPITS, GROIN)
Mammary gland
SWEAT glands that SECRETE Milk
Ceruminous (earwax) gland
Modified APOPCRINE glands in OUTER ear canal, SECRETE Cerumen
Sebaceous (oil) gland
SECRETE Oily material (Sebum)
Sebum
Oily material
Hair follicle
produce Kernatized cells
Hair
produced by Hair follicles (Filamentous strands of DEAD Kernatized cells)
Shaft
PROJECTS from Skin
Root
DEEPER & enclosed by FOLLICLE
Hair bulb
Actively GROWS
Medulla
CENTRAL part of Hair
Cortex
ENCLOSE Medulla
Cuticle
ABOVE the Cortex
Determinate hair
GROWS to certain LENGTH & STOPS
Indeterminate hair
Cont. to GROW regardless of Length
Piloerector muscle
(Arrector pili) SMOOTH muscle attaching to follicle to Dermis (Contract to cause GOOSE bumps)
Nail body
Visbile ATTACHED part of Nail
Free Edge
OVERHANGS the Fingertip
Eponychium
CUTICLE, Thickened layer of Skin at BASE of Nail
Nail root
UNDERNEATH Eponychium, area that Produces rest of Nail BODY
Nail bed
layer; DEEP to Nail body
Lunule
Small White Crescent(Base of Nail)
Hypochium
area UNDER Free edge of Nail
Nail groove
on each SIDE of Nail
Nail fold
RIDGE Above Groove
