The skin is made up of?
|
The epidermis
The dermis The hypodermis |
|
The epidermis is made up of?
|
Epithelial layer of strastified squamous epithelium
|
|
The dermis is made up of?
|
Connective tissue and all structures embedded within
|
|
The hypodermis
|
Although not always considered part of the skin, studied with the integumentary system; mainly adipose
|
|
Parts of the Epidermis
|
Stratum Basale
Stratum Spinosum Stratum Granulosum Stratum Lucidum Stratum Corneum |
|
The Stratum basale is
|
The deepest layer where rapid mitosis occurs
It is the source of cella which will be pushed upward to form other layers of the epidermis |
|
What are melanocytes
|
located in the stratum basale, melanocytes produce melanin..
Melanin protects the skin from uv rays. some UV makes vitamin D |
|
what is the stratus spinosum
|
The thickest layer of living cells, the cells flatten out and produce keratin, and glycolypids that toughen and water proof the skin.
|
|
What are other cells found in the Stratum Spinosum
|
Macrophages, which are defensive phagocytic cells
|
|
Charachteristics of Stratum Granulsom
|
As the cells flatten, the meanin granules are compressed into this thin, dark layer. the cells are dying at this point, and the organelles are deteriorating
|
|
What do melanin granules produce in the skin?
|
A productive shield from UV rays
|
|
Charachteristics of Lucidum
|
2 -4 layers thick found just above the
|
|
Charachteristics of Stratum Corneum
|
Cells that have moved up through the granulosum, keratin filled cells, hardened. The copmbo of keratin and glycolypids make the skin a good barrier for water loss.
|
|
The Dermis
|
large bed of connective tissue that the epidermis is anchored to
|
|
What is the papillary layer???
|
Wavy superficial layer, that increases surface area, for stronger attachment to the epidermis
|
|
What is the Reticular layer
|
the rest of the dermis where most of the structures important to the skin are found
|
|
Hair is made up of?
|
epidermal/epithelial cells,,
Therfore a hair is made up of Keratin |
|
melanocytes are found where and contribute to what?
|
hair folicles, and hair color
|
|
Sabaceous glands
|
are attached to hair folicles and secrete oil on the hair as it grows
|
|
Arrector Pili Muscles
|
small muscles that help hair stand erect
|
|
nails are made of ???
|
hard keratin with a fold of nail matrix providing support for the cells
|
|
Sweat Glands`
|
remove water and small amounts of solutes from blood and release to the surface. evaporation takes heat with it as water vapor laves the skin
|
|
what are differences between
Sweat glands or sebacous glands |
sweat glands look like tubes of regular cuboidal cells, compared to sebacous gland cells that look larger and more translucent
|
|
Blood vessals
|
constrict/or dialate to regulate how much blood (HEAT) is directednear the surface.
|
|
Free nerve endings
|
Pain, tempeture
|
|
Meissners corpuscle
|
light touch
|
|
Pacinain corpuscle
|
pressure
|
|
hair folicle receptors
|
mostly pain
|
|
What is the diaphysis
|
long hollow cylynder weight bearing bones
|
|
The epiphyses
|
are at the ends of the long bone
|
|
The ephyses is covered by
|
articular or (hylaine cartlige)
|
|
The membrane on the outside of a bone is the
|
periosteum
|
|
the endosteum is
|
membrane inside the bone
|
|
where is yellow marrow found
|
its the fatty tissue inside medullarr cavity
|
|
the ntwo basic kinds of bone
|
compact and spongy
|
|
Spongy bone
|
has spaces between the trebeculae of bone, which contain red marrow. Red marrow is responsible for hemopoeisis or hematopoeisis (blood cell production).
|
|
Compact bone
|
is so dense that cells must arrange themselves in patterns for nutrient/waste exchange (called Osteons or Haversion systems).
|
|
Osteons or Haversion systems
|
are made of osteocytes forming rings of bone tissue (lamellae) around blood vessels.
|
|
Haversion (central) canals
|
contain blood vessals
|
|
lamellae
|
rings of bone tissue
|
|
Canaliculi
|
microscopic “canals” that allow osteocytes to connect.
|
|
Osteocyte (bone cell) are found
|
in lacuna.
|
|
osteocytes
|
produce collagen fibers and secrete hydroxyapatites (mostly calcium phosphate) into the rings of bone matrix (lamellae).
Osteocytes alternate the direction of the fibers and crystals in each lamella; resists twisting. |
|
misc
|
The bone matrix is too dense for significant nutrient/waste exchange. Canaliculi, microscopic tunnels that connect osteocytes, allow bone cells to connect and form a network for nutrient/waste exchange.
Nutrients (-) and wastes (-) diffuse through the thin arms of osteocytes. Diffusion is too slow to carry nutrients/wastes more than a few cells in a reasonable time period. This is why there are seldom more than a few rings of osteocytes around a central canal |
