the development of the integument during gestation

by the end of the seventh week the *periderm* is formed which is a a layer of squamous epithelium that flattens that becomes a covering layer and an underlying basal layer. during the fetal period the periderm is sloughed off in which these cells mix with sebum producing a waterproof protective coating called the *vernix cases* that coats the skin of the fetus The dermis is derived from mesoderm and during the embryonic period this mesoderm becomes *mesnchym* in which these cells begin to form the components of the dermis at 11 weeks

tactile cells aka merkel cells

cells that are scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. These are sensitive to touch and when compressed they release chemicals that stimulate sensory nerve endings, providing information about objects touching the skin

stratum lucidum

the skin houses two main types of exocrine glands ; What are they ?

sweat glands (sudoriferous) and sebaceous

the skins two main types of general exocrine glands are ?

sweat glands and sebaceous glands

differences in hair density are due primarily to differences in its __________ and _____________

texture and pigmentation a single hair is called a 'pilus' . and is composed of keratinized cells . - often projecting into the underlying subcutaneous area -

chronic exposure to UV rays can damage the _______ in epidermal cells

the DNA gets damaged

hemoglobin

the oxygen binding protein present within red blood cells. -upon binding to oxygen, hemoglobin exhibits a bright red color, giving blood vessels in the dermis reddish tint hat tis most easily observed int he skin of lightly pigmented individual

keratin

the protein that fill up stem cells and become keratinocytes. The cells are formed in the stratum basale, pushed up to the following layers and in the stratum granulosum they are filled with the protein keratin to later be pushed up to the corneum layer

rengeration

the replacement of damaged or dead cells with the same cell type

of the five layers of the epidermis which are alive cells and which have dead cells?

the two most superficial strata contain dead cells and the deeper three are composed of living keratinocytes

as a result of the aging process, hair follicles produce __________ hairs

thinner

a keratinocytes life lasts

1 month total, two weeks in the exposed stratum corneum layer providing a barrier before they shed two weeks migrating from the basale to the corneum while it is forming into a keratinocyte it develops the ability to fill up with keratin and the loss of nucleus and organelles happens as there is no room for them

types of skin cancer

Basal cell carcinoma - most common type of skin cancer, least dangerous as seldomly metastasizes which originates on the stratum basale ( basal cell) usually occurs on face squamous cell carcinoma - arises from keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum. Could metastasize and usually shows as reddish lesions usually on the scalp ears, lower lip etc malignant melanoma - most deadly due to aggressive growth and metastasization - arises from melanocytes can be identified by the ABCDE rule - a. asymmetry , b. border, c. color , d. diameter , e . evolving

stem cell

can be keratinocyte stem cells which divide in the stratum basale. - her some will be pushed up into the stratum spinosum ( become highly specialized and non dividing) and others will remain in the basale

keratinization ; keratin

merocrine sweat gland -

most numerous and widely distributed -secrete a clear secretion called sweat by exocytosis -major function is thermoregulation but also excretion of drugs or toxins -as aging takes place the productions of these glands diminishes -Has acidic oH which helps precent the growth of some pathogenic bacteria

sebaceous glands are activated primarily by __________ during puberty in both sexes

sex hormones

apocrine sweat gland

similar structure to merocrine sweat gland but these release secretions into hair follicles in the agile, around the nipples, in the pubic region and anal region. -the secretion is different than the other merocrine as this one is viscous and cloudy, noticeable odor , activate around puberty -secrete proteins and lipids in the fluid

after a stem cell divides in the stratum basale, the resulting daughter cell enters the stratum ___________, and it begins to lose its ability to _____________

spinosum, divide

which vitamin does the skin produce?

vitamin D

the four steps of a wound healing

1. blood brings clotting proteins, leukocytes and antibodies + platelets 2. blood clot forms, temp patching the edges of the wound together and acts as a barrier to repent entry of pathogens 3. granulation tissue forms, which is a vascular connective tissue that initially forms healing in a wound. 4. epithelial regeneration of the epidermis occurs due to division of eli cells at the edge of the wound. By edge of the wound the book means at the bottom of the wound and the cells that are divided are from the stratum basale, the lowest layer. These then migrate over the wound, creating a scab.

some integumentary system components are not repaired following damage including ;

1. hair follicles 2. sebaceous glands ( part of the hair follicle ) 3. nerve cells 4. muscle fibers

this is a possible description of the skin ; T or F the skin is a self renewing, barrier of protection and an indicator of health

T

Acne and terms

acne - term used to described plugged sebaceous ducts Comedo - sebaceous gland plugged with sebum, an open comedy is called a *blackhead*, because the plugged material is dark A closed comedo is a whitehead, because of the top surface is whitish papule and pustule - both dome shaped lesions, typically fluid filled and form red elevations without pus. Papule can become pustule in which has a mature of white blood cells and pus nodule - simular to a pastel, but extending into deeper layer of skin and usually rupture the hair follicle wall. can be pron to scarring cyst - large fluid filled noodle that can become severely inflamed

the epidermis does not have which of the following? collagen fibers epithelial tissues blood vessels adipose tissues

all except epithelial tissues, duh you can find glands in the epidermis layers but blood vessels and collagen fibers would be in the dermis while adipose tissues make up the hypodermic
