Keratinocytes
|
produce keratin, which gives epidermis is durability and protective capabilities
|
|
Melanocytes
|
produces melanin
|
|
Langerhan's Cells
|
immune response
|
|
Merkel Cells
|
form sensitive touch receptors
|
|
Layers of the epidermis
|
stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum
|
|
stratum basale
|
deepest layer, rapidly divides, 10-25% of it is melanin
|
|
stratum spinosum
|
also divides rapidly, last layer with sufficient nutrients to divide, replenishes dying cells on surface
|
|
stratum granulosum
|
waterproofing layer
|
|
stratum lucidum
|
thin layer of dead keratinocytes
|
|
stratum coreneum
|
outermost layer, thick, consists of dead keratinocytes
|
|
papillary layer
|
more superificail layer of the dermis, forms fingerprints
|
|
reticular layer
|
deepest skin layer: arteries, veins, sweat and sebaceous glands
|
|
Nail: body
|
visible attached portion
|
|
Nail: free edge
|
edge you cut
|
|
Nail: root
|
embedded in skin
|
|
Nail: Eponychium
|
cuticle
|
|
Nail: Bed
|
stuff underneath nail
|
|
Nail: Matrix
|
beginning of nail bed underneath nail, produces nail cells which become heavily keratinized and die
|
|
Nail: Lunula
|
little white blotch/crescent at base of visible portion of nail
|
|
Hair: Root
|
Portion of hair enclosed in the follicle
|
|
Hair: Shaft
|
portion of hair that projects from the scalp
|
|
Hair: Bulb
|
well-nourished germinal epithelial cells at the basal end of the follicle where hairs grow
|
|
Hair: Follicle
|
formed form epidermal and dermal cells, enclosed by a thickened basement membrane
|
|
Hair: Arrector Pilli Muscle
|
responsible for goosebumps and making hair stand up
|
|
Sebaceous Glands
|
ducts usually empty in hair follicle, produce sebum, oily substance which keeps skin soft and moist
|
|
Sweat Glands
|
2 types: eccrine glans, which produce clear perspiration (water, salt, urea)
apocrine, which produce milky nutrient substance for the microorganisms typically found on the skin |
|
Functions of bones
|
internal framework, movement, storgae of lipids and materials
|
|
axial bones
|
lie around the body's center of gravity
|
|
appendiccular bones
|
bones of the limbs and appendages
|
|
long bones
|
longer than they are wide, made of compact bone
|
|
short bones
|
cube shaped, more spongy bone than compact... carpals in wrist
|
|
flat bones
|
thin bones with a compact bone layer sandwiched in between 2 spongy layers... skull bones
|
|
irregular bones
|
not flat, short, or compact... ribs
|
|
sesamoid bones
|
special short bones found in tendons... patella
|
|
wormian bones
|
tiny bones between cranial bones
|
|
bone projections
|
attachment site for muscle/ligament
|
|
bone depressions
|
cavities/depression, openings for blood vessels and nerves
|
|
Diaphysis
|
shaft of the bone
|
|
Periosteum
|
fibrous membrane covering
|
|
Epiphysis
|
the end of the long bone
|
|
articular cartilage
|
covers epiphysis, instead of periosteum..... provides smooth surface to prevent friction in joints
|
|
epiphyseal plate
|
thin area of hyaline cartilage, allows bone to grow
|
|
yellow marrow
|
inside medullary cavity (central cavity of diaphysis), storage region for adipose tissue
|
|
red marrow
|
located in the same place (medullary cavity) as yellow marrow.. only in infants
|
|
central canal of bone
|
runs parallel to long axis of bone, carries blood vessel, nerves, and lymph vessels,
|
|
osteocytes
|
mature bone cells
|
|
lacunae
|
chambers in central canal, arranged in concentric circles
|
|
osteon
|
central canal and all the concentric lamellae
|
|
epiphyseal plate
|
growth plates.. cartilage that allows bones to grow, and then turns into bone
|
|

|
bone cells that form new bone matrix, found in periosteum
|
|
osteocytes
|
