integument

Cards in this deck (51)

  1. 1primary functions of the integumentary system1. protection
    2. other barrier (from UV rays, chemicals)
    3. metabolic (synthesize vit D, aids in calcium absorption, produces enzymes)
    4. cutaneous sensation
    5. thermoregulation
    6. non-verbal communication
  2. 2minor functions of the integumentary system1. blood reservoir (can hold up to 33% of the body's blood)
    2. excretion (water, NaCl, ammonia, urea, uric acid)
  3. 3merkel receptorexteroceptor that responds to lite pressure
  4. 4meissner's corpusclesexteroceptor that responds to:
    vibration
    lite touch & pressure
    tactile sensation (distinguishing btwn 1 or 2 touches)
  5. 5pacinian corpusclesexteroceptor that responds to deep pressure
  6. 6ruffin cylinderexteroceptor that responds to stretching of the skin
  7. 7free nerve endingsexteroceptor that responds to pain, temp, and irritation (such as itching)
  8. 8cells that make up the epidermiskeratinocytes
    stem cells
    melanocytes
    dendritic cells
    exteroreceptors
  9. 9keratinocytessynthesize keratin (protein that gives the epidermis its super tough protective properties)
    found in the majority of the epidermis
  10. 10stem cellsundifferentiated cells that turn into keratinocytes
    found in the stratum basale
  11. 11melanocytessynthesize the melanin pigment and continually shed melanosomes from their tips (look like spiders)
    found in the stratum basale
  12. 12dendritic cells (aka Langerhans cells)act as a biological barrier against toxins, microbes, and other pathogens (look like stars)
    found in the middle 2 layers of the epidermis (anywhere you have stratified squamous tissue)
  13. 13exteroreceptors (tactile cells)associated with nerve fibers
    found in the stratum basale (there are few)
  14. 14layers of the epidermissuperficial
    I
    stratum corneum
    stratum lucidum
    stratum granulosum
    stratum spinosum
    stratum basale
    I
    deep
  15. 15stratum corneum20-30 layers thick (contains dead keratinocytes)
    contain: keratin & proteins (that protect against abrasion) and glycolipids (make it waterproof)
  16. 16stratum lucidumOnly found in THICK SKIN (soles of feet and palms of hands)
    it looks like a clear layer
    contains a few layers of dead keratinocytes
  17. 17stratum granulosum1-5 layers thick
    this is where keratinocytes undergo keratinization (filling up with keratin)
    has an accumulation of granules including keratohyaline and lamellar (helps maintain waterproofness) -- these give it its dark appearance
  18. 18stratum spinosum"prickly" layer that is around 5 layers thick
    contains adult keratinocytes and dendritic cells
  19. 19stratum basalebase of the epidermis (deepest layer) that is a single row of stem cells (that turn into keratinocytes) and melanocytes
  20. 20layers of the dermispapillary
    reticular
  21. 21papillary layercontains loose areolar connective tissue and has dermal papillaepapillary layer
  22. 22reticular layermakes up 80% of the dermis
    contains dense irregular connective tissue
    this layer causes "flexure lines" where skin cannot easily slide (crease in elbow, folds on hands)
  23. 23primary features of the hypodermisadipose & areolar connective tissue
    NOT technically part of the skin
    it is not uniformly distributed (different amounts of hypodermis can be found in different parts of the body)
  24. 24primary feature of the epidermisepithelial cells
    is part of the skin
  25. 25primary feature of the dermisdense connective tissue that is vascularized (contains blood)
    is part of the skin
    the boundary btwn dermis and hypodermis is NOT distinct
  26. 26primary functions of the hypodermisprotection
    storage
    insulation
    anchors the skin to the underlying structures (ex: muscles)
  27. 271st degree burnminor burn (sunburn)
    damages the epidermis
  28. 282nd degree burndamages the epidermis AND dermis
    causes blistering and gets rid of hair
  29. 293rd degree burndamages the epidermis, dermis, AND hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue)
  30. 30factors that contribute to skin colormelanin (red, yellow, brown, black pigments)
    carotene (yellow/orange pigments that accumulate in stratum corneum)
    hemoglobin (pigment in red blood cells)
  31. 31cyanosisblue discoloring of the skin
    happens when hemoglobin is poorly oxygenated
  32. 32erythemapink discoloring of the skin
    is emotional related: embarrassment
    or can be caused by fever, inflammation, infection
  33. 33pallor (blancing)white discoloring of the skin
    can be caused by emotional stress, low BP, or anemia
  34. 34jaundiceyellowing of the skin
    caused by a buildup of bilirubin and can indicate issues with the liver
  35. 35ecchymosesbruising of the skin (different colors)
    results from damage to the surrounding tissues and blood vessels
  36. 36function of hairsense particles on the skin
    (found everywhere except palms/soles, nipples, lips, some parts of genitalia)
  37. 37structure of hair roots3 layers:
    medulla
    cortex
    cuticle    structure of hair roots
  38. 38structure of hair follicleat the bottom is the hair bulb (what holds the hair down) which contains the hair follicle receptor and hair papilla
    the outer walls are formed by the dermis and epidermis and have 3 layers (out to in):
    1. peripheral connective sheath
    2. glassy membrane
    3. epithelial root sheath    structure of hair follicle
  39. 39Arrector Pili mmsmooth muscle that produces goose bumbs and releases sebum (oil)
    there is one Arrector Pili connected to every hair
  40. 40structure of nailsnail root- the embedded portion (we cant see this)
    nail plate- visible portion of nail (that we get painted)    structure of nails
  41. 41features of nailsconsists of hard keratin
    appear pink because they are full of rich capillaries (blood)
  42. 42types of sweat glandseccrine and apocrine
  43. 43features of eccrine glandsuse merocrine secretion method and secrete to the skin's surface
    located everywhere but mainly places that get sweaty (palms, soles, forehead)
  44. 44function of eccrine glandstemperature control
  45. 45features of apocrine glandsuse merocrine method of secretion to secrete to the upper part of the hair follicle
    located in armpits, anus, genitals
    include ceruminous glands (secrete earwax) and mammary glands (secrete milk)
  46. 46function of apocrine glandsact as sexual scent glands
  47. 47features of sebaceous glandsuse holocrine secretion method and secrete to the upper part of the hair follicle
    located everywhere except palms and soles
  48. 48functions of sebaceous glandslubricate skin and hair
    help prevent water loss
    antibacterial properties
  49. 49key characteristics of basal cell carcinomamost common type that is characterized by dome shaped nodules with a central ulcer
    located in areas with high exposure to the sun: face, hands, etc.
  50. 50key characteristics of squamous cell carcinomasecond most common type that is characterized by scaly red papule (rash)
    this type grows rapidly but responds well to treatment
    located on scalp, ears, lips, hands
  51. 51key characteristics of melanomamost dangerous type that is characterized by a brown/black patch
    a third begin from preexisting moles
    spreads very easily
