6 functions of the skin
protection, body temp regulation, sensory nerves, makes vit D (metabolic), blood reservoir, excretion
2 main layers of skin,
Epidermis (outer, keratinized , stratified squamous.)
Dermis (deep, strong flexible connective tissue (dense irregular), vascular, nervous, lymph, hair follicles and glands.)
Keratinocytes
produce fibrous protein keratin, cells on surface are dead
Melanocytes
make pigment malinin, sheilds DNA from UVA
Merker Cells
associated with sensory nerve endings, very few
Langerhans Cells
Specialized macrophages that activate immune system
5 Layers of Epidermis
Stratum Conerum (thickest), Stratum Lucidum (only in thick skins), stratum granulosum (hair and nails), stratum spinosum, basle(fixed to the dermis)
2 layers of Dermis
Papillary (fingerprints), Reticular (80% of dermis)
Skin Glands
Sweat glands: Eccrine (thermoregulation, foreheads, palms, feet.) Appocrine (functional at puperty, empty into hair, milky apperance, B.O.
Sebaceous Glands( active at puberty, sebum, blockage.)
Melanin (color)
red, brown, dark brown, black
carotene (color)
yellowish/orange

contains collagenous fibers, found in intervertebral discs
elastic cartilages is found where?
in the external ear and auditory tube
Collagen fibers
tough protien fibers that resist stretching or longitudal tearing
hemocytoblast
primary bone marrow cell type
reticlar fibers
fine, branching protein fibers that construct a supportive network
macrophages
engulf cellular debris and foreign matter and are active in immunity

dermis
actively mitotic epidermal region, the deepest epidermal layer
basale
site of elastic and collagen fibers
dermis
general site of melanin formation
epidermis
the stratum germinativum
basale
epidermal layer where most melanocytes are found
basale
Most responsible for the skin color of dark skinned peopl
melanin
provides and orange cast to the skin
carotene
provides natural sunscreen
melanin
most responsible for the skin color of Caucasians
hemoglobin
found within red blood cells in the blood vessels (pigment)
hemoglobin
what abnormality causes a bluish cast of the skin resulting from inadequate oxygenation of the blood.
cyanosis
Accumulation of bile pigments in the blood, may indicate liver disease
jaundice
clotted mass of blood that may signify bleeders disease
hematoma
their products are an oily mixture of lipids

apocrine
these glands are found everywhere on the body except palms and soles of feet
sebaceous glands
they become more active at puberty
sebaceous glands
their secretions become a blackhead
sebaceous glands
these glands are involved in thermoregulation
