elastin
The protein that makes up the bulk of hair is
elastin
This tissue forms the surface layers of the Integument
simple columnar epithelium
This muscle causes hair to stand up
Arrector Pili
The layer of the integument rich in nerve endings, blood vessels, and glands is the
the dermis
The integument plays a role in activating this vitamin:
vitamin D
A single layer of mitotic cells of epidermis
stratum basale
Clear layer of skin found in the thick skin of palms and sole
stratum lucidum
25 to 30 layers of dead keratinized cells
stratum corneum
Three to four layers of nucleated squamous cells that contain large granules of keratohyalin
stratum granulosum
The function of keratin is
to waterproof the epidermis
The function of the secretions from sebaceous gland is
to moisturize the keratinocytes and keep them pliable
The length of a hair shaft is determined by
the life span of the hair follicle
Eleidin is
an intermediate form of keratin found in the stratum lucidum
Sensory structures for discriminatory touch (i.e., feeling texture) associated with dermal papillae
Meissner's Corpuscle
Sensory structures in epidermis that respond to light touch, but are not said to be used in discriminatory touch
Merkel's Discs
Sensory structures for touch associated with hair follicles
Hair Root Plexus
Sensory structures for pressure and vibration found deep in the dermis
Lamellated (Pacinian) Corpuscle
The muscle attached to a hair follicle
Arrector Pili
Glandular organ associated with a hair follicle that produces oil
Sebaceous Gland
Glandular structure associated with a hair follicle that secretes a salty urea solution and a protein substance that may function as a pheromone
Apocrine Sudoriferous Gland
Glandular structure with a duct that opens directly to the skin surface and secretes a solution containing salt and urea
Eccrine Sudoriferous Gland
The structure that produces "goose bumps"
Arrector Pili
