microvascular and neural components to support the epidermis. The dermal papillae increase the surface area that the epidermis and dermal papillae interact for a greater exchange between soluble molecules. The papillary region consists of loose connective tissue which is characterized by a thin, poorly organized bundles of collagen fiber, which consist primarily of type I and type III collagen.12 Collagen fibers that are located in the papillary dermis contain a greater amount of collagen type…

epithelium consisting of 4 distinct cell types (keratinocytes, melanocytes, Merkel cells, and Langerhans’ cells) and 4-5 distinct layers. The underlying dermis makes up a bulk of the skin. It is a tough, leathery layer composed of fibrous connective tissue. The dermis is the only vascularized region of the skin because of the nerves and blood vessels in the region. Thick skin covers the palms, soles of feet, and the fingertips.…

Tissues are a group of cells with a common structure and function. There are four main tissues in the body. Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue are the four main types that make up the human body. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities, hollow organs, and ducts. It covers the body surfaces and forms glands. Connective tissue binds organs together, stores energy reserves as fat, and provides immunity. It protects and supports the body and its organs. Muscular tissue generates the…

treatment of alternate, and most importantly, deadly diagnosis. Cellulitis- Cellulitis is an acute bacterial infection causing inflammation of the epidermis, dermis and the underlying subcutaneous tissue. Proximal streaking of the skin can be seen when the infection is spread through the lymphatic tissues and is a very…

clotting factors, fertility drugs, and vaccines. In 1960s, researchers first discovered that bone marrow is soft, gelatinous tissue that fills the medullary cavities - the centers of bones contains at least two types of stem cells. One type named "hematopoietic" stem cell found to form all kinds of blood cells. The second type of stem cell was called "stromal cells" cartilage, and connective tissue cells. Which mean are nerves in all around are body, those cells are the foundation of stem cell…

mitosis and create the cells of the more superficial layers. Its function is to protect underlying tissues in areas that may be harmed. A non-keratinized form can be located in moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, vagina, urethra, and anus. However, a keratinized form can be located in the epidermis of the skin a dry membrane (Antranik,…

Task 1 Unit 11 Diagram Task 2 Unit 11 Four main tissue types Epithelial tissues One of the main tissue type are the one that characterize the epithelium .The epithelial tissues are used as cover for the all of our body surface both internal and external .Our epithelium it is formed by cells tissues that are one cell thick which make up the simple epithelium and from cells which are two or more cell thick which make up the stratified epithelium. The Simple Epithelium is made of…

span of someone with FOP is reduced to 40 years due to the debilitating nature of the disorder, with death usually being caused by the complications of thoracic insufficiency syndrome in the later decades of life. FOP causes muscles and connective tissues such as tendons and cartilage to be gradually replaced by bone, resulting in bone forming outside of the skeleton which locks joints into place and heavily restricts movement.

ATryn is used in patients who have congenital antithrombin deficiency (inherited low levels of the protein antithrombin). Antithrombin is a glycoprotein produced by the liver and consists of 432 amino acids that inactivates several enzymes of the coagulation system. It is used when the patients are having surgery, to prevent problems due to the formation of blood clots in the vessels. In the body, antithrombin blocks thrombin, a substance that plays a central role in the process of blood…

risk of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers are acquired as a result of prolonged periods of immobility during unrelieved pressure which compresses tissues that overlie in bony prominences. The principal factor in pressure ulcer development is excessive tissue pressure that prevents the normal supply of blood to the affected area. The severity of skin and tissue damage will depend on how long the patient had been exposed. Prevention is the best intervention for pressure ulcers. There are several…
