Keratinocytes
produce keratin, which gives epidermis is durability and protective capabilities
Melanocytes
produces melanin
Langerhan's Cells
immune response
Merkel Cells
form sensitive touch receptors
Layers of the epidermis
stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum
stratum basale
deepest layer, rapidly divides, 10-25% of it is melanin
stratum spinosum
also divides rapidly, last layer with sufficient nutrients to divide, replenishes dying cells on surface
stratum granulosum
waterproofing layer
stratum lucidum
thin layer of dead keratinocytes
stratum coreneum
outermost layer, thick, consists of dead keratinocytes
papillary layer
more superificail layer of the dermis, forms fingerprints
reticular layer
deepest skin layer: arteries, veins, sweat and sebaceous glands
Nail: body
visible attached portion
Nail: free edge
edge you cut
Nail: root
embedded in skin
Nail: Eponychium
cuticle
Nail: Bed
stuff underneath nail
Nail: Matrix
beginning of nail bed underneath nail, produces nail cells which become heavily keratinized and die
Nail: Lunula
little white blotch/crescent at base of visible portion of nail
Hair: Root
Portion of hair enclosed in the follicle
Hair: Shaft
portion of hair that projects from the scalp
Hair: Bulb
well-nourished germinal epithelial cells at the basal end of the follicle where hairs grow
Hair: Follicle
formed form epidermal and dermal cells, enclosed by a thickened basement membrane
Hair: Arrector Pilli Muscle
responsible for goosebumps and making hair stand up
Sebaceous Glands
ducts usually empty in hair follicle, produce sebum, oily substance which keeps skin soft and moist
Sweat Glands
2 types: eccrine glans, which produce clear perspiration (water, salt, urea)
apocrine, which produce milky nutrient substance for the microorganisms typically found on the skin
Functions of bones
internal framework, movement, storgae of lipids and materials
axial bones
lie around the body's center of gravity
appendiccular bones
bones of the limbs and appendages
long bones
longer than they are wide, made of compact bone
short bones
cube shaped, more spongy bone than compact... carpals in wrist
flat bones
thin bones with a compact bone layer sandwiched in between 2 spongy layers... skull bones
irregular bones
not flat, short, or compact... ribs
sesamoid bones
special short bones found in tendons... patella
wormian bones
tiny bones between cranial bones
bone projections
attachment site for muscle/ligament
bone depressions
cavities/depression, openings for blood vessels and nerves
Diaphysis
shaft of the bone
Periosteum
fibrous membrane covering
Epiphysis
the end of the long bone
articular cartilage
covers epiphysis, instead of periosteum..... provides smooth surface to prevent friction in joints
epiphyseal plate
thin area of hyaline cartilage, allows bone to grow
yellow marrow
inside medullary cavity (central cavity of diaphysis), storage region for adipose tissue
red marrow
located in the same place (medullary cavity) as yellow marrow.. only in infants
central canal of bone
runs parallel to long axis of bone, carries blood vessel, nerves, and lymph vessels,
osteocytes
mature bone cells
lacunae
chambers in central canal, arranged in concentric circles
osteon
central canal and all the concentric lamellae
epiphyseal plate
growth plates.. cartilage that allows bones to grow, and then turns into bone
osteoblasts
bone cells that form new bone matrix, found in periosteum
osteocytes
bone breakers, found in both periosteum and epiphysis
volkmans canals
perpendicular to central canal.. more ways for blood vessels to navigate
Hyaline Cartilage
found in most skeletal cartilages, sturday support with some resilience
Elastic Cartilage
hyaline cartilage with more fibers, much more flexible
Fibrocartilage
great tensile strength, can withstand heavy compression (intervertebral discs, knee joint)
articular cartilage
covers epiphysis
costal cartilage
covers ribs
laryngeal cartilage
laryanx
trachael/bronchital cartialge
trachael/bronchital
nasal cartilage
nasal
intervetebral cartilage
spine discs, knee joint
elastic cartilage
?
make-up of vertebral column
7,12,5... 7 vertebrae in cervical, 12 in thoracic, 5 in lumbar
3 areas of cranial vault
superior (top), lateral (sides), posterior (back)
3 areas of cranial floor
anterior cranial fossa, middle cranial fossa, posterior cranial fossa
