Name the two layers that make up skin.

Epidermis (Outer) and Dermis (Deepest Layer)

What is the epidermis composed of? What is the function?

Keritanized Stratified Squamous Epithelium- Keratin isa hydrophobic protein that helps to waterproof the skin

Name the layers of the Epidermis

Can Lucy Go Swim Backwards


Corneum


Lucidum


Granulosum


Spinosum


Basale





Stratum Corneum

The most superficial layer of the epidermis composed of dead keratin cells that waterproof the skin

Stratum granulosum



The very thin layer of cells in which the cells have lost their nucleus, below the most superficial layer of the skin


Function:Exocytosis of lipids for waterproofing

Stratum Spinosum

The fourth deepest layer of the epidermis that have spiny like appearing cells, and keratinization occurs in this layer.

Stratum Basale

The deepest regenerative layer of the epidermis, consisting of a single layer of cells that are attached to the dermis by the basement membrane and alive and dividing.



How often does the skin replenish itself?

Every 6 to 8 weeks

Which layer of the epidermis contains melanocytes? what are they?

They are in the basal layer and are Specialized cells that produce a brown colored pigment known as melanin to protect from UV radiation

Name the 2 layers of the dermis.

Papillary layer and reticular layer

Papillary Layer

The most superficial layer of the dermis in which the dermal papillae which are upward projections of the dermis that fit with the downward projections of the epidermis

What does the dermis contain?

Blood vessels, nerves, sensory receptors, hair follicles, and glands.

Stratum Lucidum

ONLY PRESENT IN THICK SKIN


The light colored layer of the epidermis that is a layer of dead cells that contain a precursor protein to keratin.

What is the structure responsible for deep touch? Where are they located?

Pacinian Corpuscles, located Deep in the dermis

Hypodermis

Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it is found deep to the dermis and contains a vast vascular supply

What is the hypodermis composed of?

Dense irregular connective tissue

Sweat Glands

What are sweat glands composed of?

Simple cuboidal epithelium

Name the two types of Sudoriferous glands.

Eccrine (Merocrine) glands and Apocrine Glands

What do Apocrine glands do?

Secrete water, lipids and proteins that are broken down by bacteria and cause body odor

Eccrine Glands

Temperature sensitive glands that produce sweat in order to cool the body using evaporative heat loss

Sebaceous Gland

Oil glands that are often associated with hair follicles and are much larger than sweat glands, they release sebum, which helps to lubricate the hair and provide a waterproofing function

Name the parts of hair

Shaft, root, hair bulb,

What are hair follicles?

projections of the epidermal layers into the dermis

Hair Shaft

The part that comes out of the skin surface

Hair root

The deep component of the hair that is enclosed by the follicle

Hair bulb

Actively growing part of the hair

What is determinant hair?

Hair that grows to a specific length then stops

How does hair stand up?

With the contraction of the piliorector muscles next to the hair follicle, which are smooth muscle and involuntary

What are nails?

An extension of the stratum corner of the epidermis that occur on the distal end of fingers and toes

Nail Root

The area of the nail that grows and is found underneath the cuticle

Nail Bed

Underneath the nail body

Lunule

Small white crescent looking structure that is found at the base of the nail

Hyponychium

Portion under the free edge of nail

Name the two main divisions of the skeletal system.

The axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton

What does the axial skeleton contain?

Skull, hyoid, veterbral column, ribs, and the sternum ( notice these are found along the central axis of the body.

What does the appendicular skeleton contain?

The pectoral Girdle (Upper extremities) and the pelvic girdle (Lower Extremities)

How many bones does a young adult have?

Approximately 206

Why are less bones found as humans age?

Because some bones fuse

what are chondyles and heads?

Locations where bone articulates with another bone

Name the projections in which muscle can attach to bone (3)

Tubercles, spines, trochanters

What are depressions in bones for?
