sebaceous glands

secrete sebum, found in dermis except palms and soles, secretion increases at adolescence, cause acne

sebum

oily substance, keeps hair soft and prevents excessive water loss from skin

ceruminous glands

lubricate ear canal

childrens skin

smooth, unwrinkled, few sweat glands, rapid healing

adults skin

development and activation of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, increased sebum, acne

old aged skin

decreased sebaceous and sweat gland activity, wrinkles, decreased ability to cool itself off

malignant melanoma

has tendency to spread

kaposi sarcoma (KS)

appears in immune deficiencies like AIDS

1st degree burn

discomfort and redness

2nd degree burn

pain, blisters, swelling and edema

3rd degree burn

destruction of dermis and epidermis

4th degree burn

includes muscles, fascia and bones

Rule of Nine

method of estimating the amount of skin surface burned on an adult


body is broken into 11 areas of 9% each genetial areas other 1%

functions of bone

support, protection, movement, mineral storage, hematopoiesis

hematopoiesis

production of blood cells and platelets in the bone marrow

5 types of bone

diaphysis

main shaft of a long bone

epiphysis

both ends of a long bone, made of cancellous bone

metaphysis

the region between the diaphysis and the metaphysis

articular cartilage

layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the articular surface of epiphysis

periosteum

dense, fibrous membrane that covers bone, attaches tendons to bones, contains blood vessels and cells that form and destroy bone

medullary cavity

hollow space inthe diaphysis of a long bone, filled with connective tissues in adults

endosteum

thin, fibrous membrane that lines the medullary cavity

osteoblasts

bone forming

osteoclasts

bone destroying

osteocytes
