Name the four Accessory Structures
- Hair
- Sebaceous Gland
- Sweat Gland
- Nails
-
What are the characteristics of the Subcutaneous Layer?
- located beneath the dermis
- supports skin relative to deep tissue
- consists of connective tissue and adipocytes
- no bounderies between the dermis
-
True/False
The Subcutaneous Layer is a part of the integumentary system
false
-
List three characteristics of the dermis
- no obvious layers dividing the two layers
- vascular
- contain accessory structures, lymph vessels and nerve fibers
-
What are the functions of the reticular layer?
- provides flexibility
- prevents damage to surrounding tissue
-
What are the functions of the papillary layer?
- supports and nourishes the epidermis
- contain cappillaries and nerves that supply the skins surface
- forms projections(dermal papillae) into the epidermis
-
What type of tissue form dermis?
connective tissue
-
Where is the papillary located?
directly beneath the basement membrane
-
List characteristics of Stratum Germinitivum
- basle layer
- attached to the basement membrane
- avascular
- contain germinitive cells which are stem cells = dividing or increasing in #
- contain melanocytes which color epidermis
- new cells slowly migrate to the top
-
Describe Startum Spinosum
- spiny layer
- cells from germinitivum continue to divide
- contributes to epithelial thickness
-
Give four characteristics for Stratum Granulosum?
- grainy layer
- contain displaced cells from the spinosum layer
- cells no longer divide
- produce a protien called kearatin(durable waterproof)
-
list three places you can find kearitin
-
what are the characteristics of Staum Lucidum
- clear layer
- found only in thick skin
- made from flattened densly packed with kearitin filled cells
-
Describe The Stratum Corneum
- superficial layer of the epidermis
- contain 15 to 30 layers of flattened dead epithelial cells
- kearitinized
-
hair consist of _______ filled with _____
that were produced by organs called follices.
-
what is the structure of hair?
- hair follicles are walls made-up of epidermis that extends into the dermis
- hair grows from the base of the h.follicle(which lies on the top of the papilla)
- hair papilla is an extension of connective tissue w/ cappilaries and nerves
- the hair attached to skin is called root
- surfacace level is part of the hair shaft
-
true/false
the entire hair shaft is exposed
false
-
list hair functions:
- protects underlying skin
- filters foreign substances in nose,ears,eyes
- senses physical contact with skin surface
-
describe arrector pilli(muscle tissue)
- a bundle of smooth muscle
- when stimulated, it pulls on the hair follice causing the hair to stand up
- stimulus can be fear, or cold temperature
-
What are the characteristics of the sabaceous glands?(epithelial tissue)
- exocrine gland
- secretes sebum
-
what is sebum?
an oily lipid that lubricates and protect hair and skin
