The Skin

Front 1

the skin is composed of two layers?

Back 1

epidermis, dermis

Front 2

this is below the skin and helps with insulation,shock absorber,and anchors skin to muscle

Back 2

hypodermis

Front 3

this cell in the epidermis produces keratin, and is produced deep in the epidermis

Back 3

keratinocytes

Front 4

this cell in deepest layer of epi, makes melanin, melanosomes are transferred to keratinocytes

Back 4

melanocytes

Front 5

this cell is made in bone marrow and migrates to epidermis helps with immunity

Back 5

langerhans

Front 6

this cell is associated with nerve ending, found in basal layer and is a touch receptor

Back 6

merkel

Front 7

what are the layers of the epidermis? deepest to surface

Back 7

stratum basale,stratum spinosum,stratum granulosum,stratum lucidum,stratum corneum

Front 8

this layer of skin is the strong flexible connective tissue, its innervated,vascular,contains sweat glands, etc...

Back 8

dermis

Front 9

what are the 5 functions of the skin?

Back 9

temp regulation, sensation, metabolic functions, blood reservoir, excertion

Front 10

what are the three skin cancers?

Back 10

basal cell skin cancer,squamous cell cancer, melanoma

Front 11

this cancer affects the basal layer, most common,least malignant, cells invade dermis and hypodermis

Back 11

basal cell skin cancer

Front 12

What are the causes of skin cancer?

Back 12

UV radiation, X-rays, chronic skin ulcers

Front 13

this cancer forms ulcers, its fast growing and metastasizes

Back 13

squamous cell cancer

Front 14

this cancer is the most dangerous, 1/3 develop from moles, metastasizes rapidly,use ABCDE rule

Back 14

melanoma

Front 15

what are the ABCDE's of skin cancer detection?

Back 15

Asymmetry,border irregularity,colors,diameter,elevation

Front 16

when using tanning beds, the __________ forms double bonds in the DNA and the _____ normally take care of the double bond(mess up the unzipping), but sometimes the proteins are overwhelmed and if this happens it can cause cancer.

Back 16

pyrimidine, protein

Front 17

this type of burn consist of only the epidermis, red, pain, sometimes swelling,

Back 17

first degree

Front 18

epidermis and upper derims, red, pain, swelling, and blisters(fluid from derims oozes upward)

Back 18

second degree

Front 19

epidermis, dermis,often hypodermis, tissue regeneration too slow, can cause suffocation if near airways

Back 19

third degree

Front 20

this pathology is where melanocytes do not make melanin

Back 20

albinism

Front 21

this pathology is where herpes simplex virus lie dormant in the nerves of skin

Back 21

cold sores

Front 22

this pathology is when you have raised, pink lesions developing yellow crust, very contagious, common in children

Back 22

impetigo

Front 23

this pathology has red epidermal lesions and dry silvery scales, cause unknown-autoimmune

Back 23

psoriasis

Front 24

this pathology is very common, loss of melanocytes

Back 24

vitligo
