  • Front
  • Back
composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
epidermis
produce keratin, a tough, fibrous protein that helps protect the skin and underlying tissues from heat, microbes, and chemicals.
Keratinocytes
release a waterproofing sealant.
Keratinocytes
produce the pigment melanin


Melanin is a brown-black pigment that contributes to skin color and absorbs damaging ultraviolet (UV) light
Melanocytes
immune responses mounted against microbes that invade the skin and are easily damaged by UV light.
Langerhans cells
associated Merkel discs function together in the sensation of touch.
Merkel cells
Deepest layer, composed of a single row of cuboidal or columnar keratinocytes; stem cells undergo cell division to produce new keratinocytes; melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells are scattered among the keratinocytes.
Basale
Multiple rows of many-sided keratinocytes; includes projections of melanocytes and Langerhans cells.
Spinosum
Multiple rows of flattened keratinocytes, in which nuclei are beginning to degenerate; cells contain darkly staining keratin and lamellar granules, which release a lipid-rich, water-repellent secretion.
Granulosum
Present only in thick skin of fingertips, palms, and soles; consists of multiple rows of clear, flat, dead keratinocytes with large amounts of keratin.
Lucidum
Multiple rows of dead, flat keratinocytes that contain mostly keratin.
Corneum
The superficial portion of the dermis; consists of areolar connective tissue with elastic fibers and dermal papillae that house capillaries, corpuscles of touch, and free nerve endings.
Papillary
The deeper portion of the dermis; consists of dense irregular connective tissue with bundles of collagen and elastic fibers, adipocytes, hair follicles, nerves, sebaceous glands, and sudoriferous glands.
Reticular
oil glands

secrete sebum
Sebaceous glands
sweat glands, that release sweat, or perspiration
sudoriferous glands
forehead, palms, and soles
Eccrine sweat glands
skin of the axilla (armpit), groin, areolae (pigmented areas around the nipples) of the breasts, and bearded regions of the face in adult males.
Apocrine sweat glands
sweat glands in the external ear

secrete cerumen
ceruminous glands
he bone's shaft, or body—the long, cylindrical, main portion of the bone.
diaphysis
the proximal and distal ends of the bone.
epiphyses
the regions between the diaphysis and the epiphyses. In a growing bone, each metaphysis contains an epiphyseal plate (ep′-i-FIZ-ē-al), a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis of the bone to grow in length (described later in the chapter). When bone growth in length stops, the cartilage in the epiphyseal plate is replaced by osseous tissue and the resulting bony structure is known as the epiphyseal line.
metaphyses
thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation (joint) with another bone. Articular cartilage reduces friction and absorbs shock at freely movable joints.
articular cartilage
tough sheath of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the bone surface wherever it is not covered by articular cartilage. The periosteum contains bone-forming cells that enable bone to grow in thickness. It also protects the bone, assists in fracture repair, helps nourish bone tissue, and serves as an attachment point for ligaments and tendons.
periosteum
marrow cavity, is the hollow, cylindrical space within the diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow in adults.
medullary cavity
thin connective tissue membrane that lines the medullary cavity, contains bone-forming cells.
endosteum
unspecialized stem cells (undifferentiated cells that can divide to produce new cells) derived from mesenchyme, the tissue from which almost all connective tissues are formed. They are the only bone cells to undergo cell division; the resulting cells develop into osteoblasts. Osteogenic cells are found in the inner portion of the periosteum, in the endosteum, and in the canals within bones that contain blood vessels.
Osteogenic cells
synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix of osseous tissue, and they initiate calcification (described shortly). As osteoblasts surround themselves with extracellular matrix, they become trapped in their secretions and become osteocytes. (Note: Cells with the ending blasts in the name means that the cells secrete extracellular matrix.)
Osteoblasts
mature bone cells, are the most numerous cells in osseous tissue and maintain its daily metabolism, such as the exchange of nutrients and wastes with the blood. Like osteoblasts, osteocytes do not undergo cell division. (Note: Cells with the ending cytes in the name means that the cells maintain the tissue.)
Osteocytes
huge cells derived from the fusion of as many as 50 monocytes (a type of white blood cell) and are concentrated in the endosteum. On the side of the cell that faces the bone surface, the osteoclast releases powerful lysosomal enzymes and acids that digest the protein and mineral components of the underlying extracellular matrix of osseous tissue. This breakdown of the extracellular matrix of osseous tissue, termed resorption (rē-SORP-shun), is part of the normal development, maintenance, and repair of bones. (Note: Cells with the ending clast in the name means that the cell breaks down extracellular matrix.) In response to certain hormones, osteoclasts help regulate blood calcium levels (see Concept 17.6).
