Describe the major functions of the skin?
- Major line in defense against disease causing organisms.
- Prevents excess loss of fluids and materials
- Helps maintain temperature
Major characteristics of the skin?
-2 layers epidermis and dermis
- epidermis in 5 layers
- Dermis connective contains glands, vessels, nerves
Epidermis
superficial layer of skin, composed of stratified squamous epithelium.
Straturn corneum
dead tissue in epidermis
Dermis
thickest layer of the skin, below the epidermis, composed of blood vessels, nerves, smooth muscle and elastic and collangeous fibers.
Blood vessels
capillaries and venules disperse throughout the dermis.
Nerves
nerve endings in the dermis
Sweat glands-
simple, coiled tubular gland associated with a hair follicle within the axillary and pubic regions.
Sebaceous glands
oil gland associated with a hair follicle
Arrector pili muscle
bundle of smooth muscle fibers connected to the hair follicle.
Hair shaft
visible, nonliving portion of hair.
Cortex
layer of pigment
Medulla
center of hair shaft
Cuticle
outmost, cells layered in singles.
Root
same three layers
Follicle
surrounds the root, two layers, external root sheath, internal root sheath
Bulb
enlarged base of the hair that receives nutrients from blood vessels, composed of external and internal root sheath
Papilla
blood vessels, growth, nerves
Matrix
where the hair grows
Nail Matrix
epithelial cells, adds length
Cuticle-
external surface, proximal, extension of the epidermis
Process of deep wound healing (page 128)
Process of deep wound healing (page 128)
Process of deep wound healing Stage one
1. Inflammation- vasodilatation, opening of cell vessels, enlarged to fight off. Brings in white blood cells and fibroblasts.
Process of deep wound healing Stage two
2. Blood clot forms- unites the 2 edges of the wound
Process of deep wound healing Stage three
3. Clot becomes scab- epithelial tissue grows under scab, to “bridge” the gap.
Process of deep wound healing Stage four
4. Blood vessels are repaired
Process of deep wound healing Stage five
5. Maturation- final stage, when scab comes off.
Hypertrophic
scar produces too scar tissue, elevating about the normal epidermis tissue
Keloid-
too much scar tissue beyond the boarders of the scar.
Indicate the approximate weeks that mark the beginning of embryonic bone growth.
Begins in the 6th-8th week
Intamemebranous
flat bones within the membrane
Endochondral
long bones within the cartilage
3. Describe in detail the sequential steps in endochondral bone formation.
See page in packet
3. Describe in detail the sequential steps in endochondral bone formation.
See page in packet
Identify the parts of a long bone-
longer than they are wide, such as the humerus
Lamellae
weight- bearing, column like matrix tubes composed mainly of collagen.
Haversain canals
(central canals) central channel containing blood vessels and nerves
Osteocytes-
mature bone cells
Osteoblasts
bone- forming cells
Lacunae
small cavities in the bone contain osteocytes
Canaliculi
hair like canals that contain cytoplasm projections and connect lacunae to each other and central canals.
Four Bone cells
Osteoprogentiors
Osteobalsts
Osteocytes
Oseoclasts
Osteoprogentiors cells
unspecialized stem cells derived from mesenchyme. Only bone cells to undergo cell division.
Oseoclasts
huge cells that resorb or break down bone matrix
Yellow bone marrow
found in marrow, medullary cavity of long bones
Composed mostly of fat cells
Red Bone Marrow
found in spongy bone
Composed of blood, forming tissue and some fat.
8. Review Bone Metabolism
8. Review Bone Metabolism
Comminuted
bone fragments into three or more pieces; common in elderly
Spiral
ragged break when bone is excessively twisted; common in sport injury
Depressed
broken bone portions pressed inward, typical in skull fracture
Compression
bone is crushed; common in porous bones
Epiphyseal
epiphysis separates from diaphsis along epiphysis seal line; occurs where cartilage cells are dying
Greenstick
one end of the fractured bone is forcefully driven into the interior of the other end of the fracture bone.
Impacted
one end of the fractured bone is forcefully driven into the interior of the other end of the fractured bone
Stress
a series of microscopic fissure in the bone that forms without any evidence of injury to other tissue
axial skeleton
bone of the skull, vertebral column and rib cage
appendicular skeleton
bone of the upper and lower limbs and shoulder and hips.
Long bones
longer than they are wide. Ex. Humerus
Short bones
cube shaped. Ex. Wrists, ankle
Flat bones
thin, flattend and a bit curved. Ex. Skull, Ribs, sterum
Irregular bones
bones with complicated shapes. Ex. Hip bones
Sesamoid bones
bones that form within tendons. Ex. Palms and feet.
