    Sebaceous Gland

    • Skin's oil glands.
    • Produce sebum, which is called holocrin secretion. Most sebacious glands are associated with hair follicles.
    • Function of sebum: collects dirt, softens hair and skin, prevents hair from becoming brittle, keeps ipidermis from cracking, slows water loss across the skin and kills bacteria.

    • Eccrine sudoriferous gland
    • Only mammals have sweat glands.
    • Eccrine are most numerous sweat glands on body.
    • Most abundant on palms, soles and forehead. Coiled version of a simple tubular gland.

    Appocrine sudoriferous glands are confinded to axillary, anal and gential areas. Produce a special kind of sweat consisting of fatty substances and proteins, in addition to the components of true sweat. Tje breakdown of bacteria produce body odor.

    Hyaline Cartilage

    • Structure: Looks like frosted glass. Most abundant type of cartilage. Chondrocutes appear spherical. Each chondrocyte occupies a cavity in the matrix called a Lacuna.
    • Function: Provides support through flexibility and resilience.
    • Location: Trachea, embryonic skeleton, covers ends of long bones, costal cartilage of ribs, nose, larynx.

    Elastic Cartilage

    • Structure: Similar to hyaline cartilage, but more elastic fibers in the matrix
    • Function: Maintains the shape of a structure, while allowing great flexibility
    • Location: External ear.

    Fibrocartilage

    • Structure: Matrix less firm to hyaline, thick collagen fibers predominate
    • Function: Tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock.
    • Location: Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, discs of knee joint.
  17. Image Upload 48
    Bone or Osseous Tissue

    • Structure: Hard, calcified matrix containing many collagen fibers; osteocytes lie in lacunae. Very Vascularized.
    • Function: Bone supports and protects. Stores calcium and other minerals and fat. Marrow inside bones is the site for blood cell formation.
    • Location: Bones.

    Blood cells.

    • Structure: Red and white blood cells in a fluid matrix called plasma.
    • Function: Transport of respiratory gasses, nutrients, wastes and other substances.
    • Location: contained within blood vessels.
  19. What are the cells that serve as phagocytes in the epidermis?
    • Langerhans Cells
    • Star shaped cells are part of the immune system.
    • Image Upload 52
  20. What are the most abundant epidermal cells?
    Keratinocytes

    Keratinocytes produce keratin, a tough fibrous protein that gives the epidermis its protective properties. Also produce antibiotics and enzymes that detoxify the harmful chemicals to which our skin is exposed. Keratinocytes are located in the epidermis. They are dead cells when they reach the surface of epidermis, and contain keratin but no nucleous.
  21. What are the finger-like pegs of the dermis that can contain blood vessels or sensory receptors?
    Dermal Papillae are finger like projections that project into the overlying epidermis.
  22. Which type of gland is most abundant on the palms, soles and forehead?
    • Eccrine Glands

    Osteocytes are isolated in lacunae with one cell per lacuna.
    Cartilage can typically have several cells per lacuna.
    • True.
