Give a location for Simple Squamous
Lungs (diffusion)
Fill the missing words:
Simple epithelium has ________ layer(s) of cells
One
What are some relevant nursing actions related to tissues and integumentary?
- PPE
- Standard and aseptic hand washing
- Temperature measurement and recording
- Suture and staple removal
- Wound assessment, cleaning and dressing.
Fill the missing words:
Stratified epithelium has ________ layer(s) of cells
Many
Fill the missing words:
_____________ epithelium has cells that are cube shaped.
Cuboidal
Fill the missing words:
________ epithelium has cells that are flattened like fish scales.
Squamous
Fill the missing words:
____________ epithelium has cells that are column shaped.
Columnar
Name 5 main connective tissue types found in the body
- Loose e.g. areolar and adipose
- Dense e.g. regular and irregular
- Bone
- Cartilage
- Blood
Give a location for Simple Cuboidal
Kidney (absorption)
Give a location for Simple Columnar
Stomach (secretion)
For transdermal medications to be absorbed through the skin must they be water or fat-soluble? What implications does this have to the administering nurse?
- Fat-soluble
- Will also absorb through nurses skin.
Give a location for Stratified Squamous
Skin (resist abrasion)
What anatomy and physiology of the hypodermis (subcutaneous) facilitates its use as an injection site?
- No nerve endings (pain-free)
- Adipose (Slow absorption)
- Vascular (Continues Absorption)
- 0.5 – 1.0 mL
- Not for irritating medications
What anatomy and physiology of the skin facilitates the regulation of body temperature?
- Vasocontractions (conserve heat)
- Vasodilation (lose heat through evaporation of sweat)
How would pulling the bed clothes over a patient with a raised body temperature (pyrexia) interfere with this regulatory mechanism?
- Reduce heat loss
- Temperature may rise further
Avascular Region
Epidermis
Where is liver located?
Right hypochondriac
The presence of red granulation tissue and pink epithelial tissue indicates that the wound is healing.
Why can the skin (tissue) regenerate after considerable damage (e.g., pressure injury)?
Stem cells in:
- Epidermis = Stratum Basale
- Dermis (mesenchymal cells become fibroblasts
Where is descending colon located?
Left lumbar
Where is stomach located?
Left hypochondriac
Where is appendix located?
Right inguinal
Produces Keratin
Keratinocytes
Dead Cells
S. Corneum
Connects Keratinocytes
Desmosomes
Protein fibre making epidermis tough
Keratin
Waterproofing layer of epidermis (granules)
S. Granulosum
Contains epidermal stem cells (cell division)
S. Basale
Produce melanin
Melanocyte
Phagocytic cells in epidermis (immune system)
Dendritic
Protein fibre making dermis tough
Collagen
Superficial dermis layer (loose connective)
Papillary
Major skin area (dense connective tissue, vascular)
Reticular
The epidermis is composed of ________.
Keratinised stratified squamous epithelium
________ is not a component of the sweat produced by a merocrine gland.
Sebum
Nutrients reach the epidermis by the membrane transport process of ________.
Diffusion
______ can provide 30% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D, are a rich source of amino acids and fibre and are not a plant.
Mushrooms
Humans with a body weight within the recommended range have _____% of their adipose tissue in the subcutaneous layer of their skin and _____% positioned as visceral fat.
