Chapter 10 Physiology And Histology Of The Skin

Coiled structures attached to hair follicles found in the under armor and genital areas that secrete sweat

Small involuntary muscles in the base of the hair follicle that causes goose flash when the appendage contacts sometimes called goosebumps

Protective barrier of the epidermis the cornea and intercellular matrix protect the surface from irritation and dehydration

Glycolipiod Materials that are a natural part of skin and her cellular matrix and barrier function

Fibrous connective tissue you made from protein found in the reticular layer of the dermis gives the skin firmness

Stratum corneum cell. Hardened waterproof protective keratinocytes

Membranes of ridges and groups that attach to the epidermis contains nerve endings and supplies nourishment through capillaries

Also known as the derma. Support layer of connective tissue you collagen and elastin below the epidermis

The structures that assist in holding cells together

Sweat glands found all over the body with openings on the skin surface through pours not attached to hair follicles

Lipid substances between corneum cells that protect the cells from water loss and irritation

Fibrous protein of cells that is also the principal component of skin hair and nails

Epidermal cells composed of keratin lipids and other proteins

Guard cells of the immune system that senses unrecognized foreign invaders such as bacteria

White blood cell's that have enzymes to digest and kill bacteria and parasites

Located in the dermis these supply nourishment within the skin and removes waste

Tiny grains of pigment that are produced by melanocytes and deposited into cells in the Stratham Germinativum layer of the epidermis

Protein fiber found in the dermis give skin it's elasticity and firmness

Stimulate sales to reproduce and heal

Outermost layer of skin protective layer with many cells mechanisms and nerve endings

A type of melanin that is dark brown to black in color

Cells that stimulate sales collagen and amino acids that form proteins

Caused by an elevation in blood sugar

Cone shaped elevations at the base of the follicle that fit into the hair bulb

Hydrating fluids found in the skin Hydro folic agent with water finding properties

Boil water balance that protects the skin surface

Cells that produce skin pigment granules in the basal layer

Basal layer. Active layer of the epidermis above the papillary layer of the dermis

Layer of the epidermis composed of cells filled with Keratin that resembles granules

Clear, transparent layer of the epidermis thickest on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet

Spiny layer. Layer of the epidermis above the basal layer

Fat tissue located but the dermis a protective Titian and energy storage for the body

Fatty tissue found below the dermis that gives smoothness and Contor to the body

Also known as sweat glands. Excrete perspiration

Identify molecules that have foreign peptides and also help regulate immune system

Capillaries that have been damaged and are now larger

Water by evaporation on the skin surface

Pigment carrying granules that produces melanin a complex protein

Stimulates Melanocytes and the thus produces melanin

Aging raise. Longer wavelengths ranging between 320 to 400 nm

Burning rays. Wavelengths range between 292 320 nano meters

Top layer of the dermis next to the epidermis

A type of melanin that is red and yellow in color

Tubelike opening for sweat glands on the epidermis

Deeper layer of the dermis that supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients contains fat cells, blood vessels, sweat glands, hair follicles, lymph vessels

Chronic condition that appears primarily on the cheeks and nose and is characterized by flushing or redness

Protect to the surface of the skin, oil glands

Oil that provides protection for the epidermis from external factors and lubricates both the skin and hair

Also known as horny near outermost layer of the epidermis
