Chapter 5: The Integumentary System And Body Membranes

Front 1

2 types of Epithelial Membranes

Back 1

cutaneous membrane-the skin

serous membranes-simple squamous epithelium on a connective tissue basement membrane

Front 2

parietal membrane

Back 2

lines the walls of body cavities

Front 3

visceral membrane

Back 3

covers organs found in body cavities

Front 4

where is the pleura found

Back 4

thoracic cavity

Front 5

where is the peritoneum found

Back 5

abdominal cavity

Front 6

pleurisy

Back 6

inflammation of the serous membranes that line the chest cavity and cover the lungs

Front 7

peritonitis

Back 7

inflammation of the serous membranes in the abdominal cavity that line the walls and cover the organs

Front 8

mucus membranes

Back 8

line the body surfaces that open directly to the exterior. They produce mucus, a thick secretion that keeps the membranes soft and moist

Front 9

connective tissue membranes produce a fluid called ________________ .

Back 9

synovial fluid

Front 10

two primary layers of the skin

Back 10

dermis
epidermis

Front 11

structure of the epidermis

Back 11

several layers of stratified squamous epithelium
stratum germinativum-innermost layer of cells that continually reproduce, and new cells move toward the surface

Front 12

as cells approach the surface of the skin, they are filled with a tough, waterproof protein called _________ .

Back 12

keratin

Front 13

outermost layer of the keratin filled cells

Back 13

stratum corneum

Front 14

skin pigment

Back 14

deepest epidermal layer, responsible for the production of pigment which gives color to the skin

Front 15

caused by the breakdown of union between cells or primary layers of skin

Back 15

blister

Front 16

The dermis is made largely of ______________________ tissue.

Back 16

connective

Front 17

dermal-epidermal junction

Back 17

specialized area between two primary skin layers

Front 18

Which is thicker, the dermis or the epidermis?

Back 18

dermis

Front 19

upper papillary layer of dermis characterized by parallel rows of tiny bumps

Back 19

dermal papillae

Front 20

the dermis contains the following:

Back 20

nerve endings, muscle fibers, hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands and blood vessels

Front 21

what is the soft hair found on a fetus or newborn

Back 21

lanugo

Front 22

hair growth requires and epidermal tube-like structure called a ________________

Back 22

hair follicle

Front 23

hair growth begins from the________________

Back 23

papilla

Front 24

specialized smooth muscle that produces "goose bumps" and causes hair to stand up straight

Back 24

arrector pili

Front 25

skin receptor capable of detecting light touch

Back 25

tactile (meissner) corpuscle

Front 26

skin receptor capable of detecting pressure

Back 26

lamellar (pacini) corpuscle

Front 27

skin receptor capable of detecting low frequency vibration

Back 27

bulboid

Front 28

skin receptor capable of detecting pain

Back 28

free nerve endings

Front 29

three types of skin glands

Back 29

eccrine-most numerous- assist in heat regulation,
apocrine-thicker secretion-found primarily in axilla and around genitalia
sebaceous-secrete oil or sebum; increases during adolescence

Front 30

types of skin cancer

Back 30

squamous cell carcinoma
basal cell carcinoma
malignent melanoma
kaposi carcinoma

Front 31

squamous cell carcinoma characteristics

Back 31

common type of skin cancer
slow growing
lesions begin as painless, hard, raised nodules

Front 32

basal cell carcinoma characteristics

Back 32

originates at cells in base of epidermis lesions begin as small raised areas that erode in center, bleed and crust over
less likely to metastasize

Front 33

malignant melanoma characteristics

Back 33

most serious form of skin cancer
may develop from benign pigmented moles of excess UV radiation
ABCD rule of self examination

Front 34

function of the skin

Back 34

protection
temperature regulation

Front 35

the body can release almost ______
calories of body hear.t per day

Back 35

3000

Front 36

mechanisms of temp regulation

Back 36

regulation of sweat secretion
regulation of flow of blood close to the body surface
