Arrector pili

Thin ribbons of smooth muscle, extending from the hair follicle to the formal papillae.

Keratinization

This process begins within the stratum Granulosum, where the keratinocytes fill up with the protein keratin, and in so doing, cause both the cell's nucleus and organelles to disintegrate and the cells dies. The process is not complete until the cells reach the superficial epidermal layers.

Sweat glands duct

Transports the secretions to the surface of the epidermis( in a merocrine sweat gland) or into a hair follicle( in an apocrine sweat gland).

Stratum spinosum or spiny layer

Formed by sveral layers of polygonal keratinocytes

Thick skin

Is found on the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet. All five epidermal strata occur in _____ skin. The epidermis of ____ skin ranges between 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm thick. It houses sweat glands but has no hair follicles or sebaceous( oil) glands.

The Integument

Is the skin that covers your body

Shaft

Is the third portion of he hair that extends beyond the skin surface. Consists of dead epithelial cells.

Root

Is the zone of the hair extending from the bulb to the skin surface. Consists of dead epithelial cells.

Stimulation of the arrector pili

Is usually a result of an emotional state, such as fear or rage, or as a response to exposure to cold temperatures. Upon stimulation, the arrector pili contracts, pulling on the hair follicle and elevating the hair producing "goosebumps."

Terminal hair

Is usually coarser, pigmented, and longer than vellus. it grows on the scalp, and it is also the hair of eyebrows and eyelashes. At puberty, ______hair replaces vellus hair in the Dillard and pubic regions, and it forms the beard on the faces of males.

Epidermis

It is keratinized ,stratified squamous epithelium

lines of cleavage

(tension lines) in the skin identify the predominant orientation of collagen fiber bundles.

Keratin

Three types of cells occupy the stratum basale

Keratinocytes, Melanocytes, Tactile cells

The stratum basale is dominated by ?

Large keratinocytes stem cells, which divide to generate new cells that replace dead keratinocytes shed from the surface.

Apocrine sweat glands

Location: axilla, areola of the breast, pubic, and anal regions Description: coiled tubular glands located next to hair follicles. Ducts open into the hair follicle. Mode of secretion: Merocrine- exocytosis of vesicles containing product into the duct of the gland Function: produce a thick, slightly oily sweat that may have pheromone-like properties Word orgin: apo-,away from, + krino, to separate o secrete

Merocrine( eccrine) sweat glands

Location: most of the surface of the body Description: coiled tubular glands whose main secretory portions are found deep within the reticular layer of the dermis. Mode of secretion: Merocrine- exocytosis of vesicles containing product into the duct of the gland Function: Produce the thin, watery sweat that cools the body Word origin: meros, share,+ krino, to separate or secrete

Nervous tissue detects and monitors ?

Sensory stimuli in the skin, which provides information about touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.

Thick vs. thin

Skin is classified as either thick or thin based on the number of epidermal strata and the relative thickness of the epidermis, rather than the thickness of the entire integument.

Which 3 specific layers, or strata are composed of living keratinocytes?

Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum

Sebum

An oily , waxy secretion, that is usually discharged into the hair follicle and onto the hair itself. produced by sebaceous glands that are holocrine glands. Acts as lubricant to keep the skin and hair from becoming dry, brittle, and cracked. Also has some bactericidal (bacteria-killing) properties.

The cells of the follicle walls are organized into two principal concentric layers:

An outer connective tissue root shear and an inner epithelial tissue root sheath

Apocrine glands

Are coiled, tubular glands that release their secretions into the hair follicles in the axillae , around the nipples , in the pubic region, and in the anal region. Produce their secretions by exocytosis. The secretions they produce is viscous and cloudy, and it contains both proteins and lipids that are acted upon by bacteria to produce a distinct, noticeable order. These sweat glands become active and produce secretions beginning around puberty.

Sebaceous glands

Are holocrine glands that'll office an oily, waxy secretion called sebum. The secretion of sebum in both sexes is stimulated by hormones, especially androgens( male sex hormones). Sebaceous glands are relatively inactive during childhood; however, they are activated during puberty in both sexes, when the production of sex hormones increases

Epidermal dendritic cells

Are immune cells that help fight infection in the epidermis. These immune cells are often present in the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum, but they are not identifiable in standard histologic preparations. Their phagocytize activity initiates an immune response to protect the body against pathogens that have penetrated the superficial epidermal layers as well as epidermal cancer cells.

Ceruminous glands

Are modified apocrine sweat glands located in the external acoustic meatus( ear canal), where their secretion forms a waterproof earwax called cerumen. Both cerumen and the tiny hairs in the meatus help trap foreign particles or small insects and keeps them from the reaching the eardrum. Cerumen also helps lubricate the external acoustic meatus and eardrum.

Merocrine glands

Are the most numerous and widely distributed sweat glands. The adult integument contains between 3 and 4 million merocrine sweat glands. They are simply coiled tubular glands that discharge their secretions directly onto the surface of the skin. The clear secretion they release by exocytosis is called sweat. _______ sweat glands major function is thermoregulation, which is the regulation of the body temperature by evaporation of fluid from the skin. ___ sweat glands provide a means for the loss of both. Water and electrolytes. The secretions also help eliminate a number of ingested drugs. And provide some protection from environmental hazards both by diluting harmful chemicals and by preventing the growth of microorganisms ( antibacterial and antigen goal activity.)
