all exocrine glands that release their secretions to the skin surface via ducts

oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands

the glands that produce a saline solution called sweat

far more numerous and are found all over the body, produce sweat

Sweat glands in the pubic and underarm areas that secrete thicker sweat, that produce odor when come in contact with bacteria on the skin

sac within which each hair grows

part of the hair enclosed in the follicle

part of hair projecting from the surface of the scalp or skin

the central core of a hair

surrounds medulla

surrounds cortex; outer most layer

involuntary muscle that causes hair to stand on end and goose bumps to appear

scalelike modification of epidermis made of hard keratin

the portion of the nail that grows out away from the body

visible attached portion

the part that is embedded in the skin and adheres to an epithelial nail bed

The borders of the nail are overlapped by skin folds

edge of the thick proximal nail fold

the stratum basale of the epidermis extends beneath the nail

thickened proximal portion of the nail bed; responsible for nail growth

white crescent at proximal end of nail

tissue damage and cell death caused by heat, electricity, UV radiation, or chemicals

A mild burn characterized by heat, pain, and reddening of the burned surface but not exhibiting blistering or charring of tissues.

a burn involving the epidermis and the dermis; characterized by erythema, hyperesthesia (pain), and vesications (blisters)

a burn involving all layers of the skin; characterized by the destruction of the epidermis and dermis, with damage or destruction of subcutaneous tissue

blood & skin of Caucasians appear blue; common during heart failure & severe breathing disorders

restrictions of blood supply to skin results in cell death

indicates embarrassment (blushing), fever, hypertension, inflammation, or allergy.

emotional stress (fear, anger, and others) causes people to become pale; may also indicate anemia, low blood pressure, or impaired blood flow

yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes caused by an accumulation of bile pigment (bilirubin) in the blood

reveals where blood has escaped from circulation and clotted beneath the skin (called hematomas)

yellow, reddish brown, or black

yellow-orange pigment; found in carrots and other orange, deep yellow or leafy green vegetables

oxygen rich; pigment in red blood cells

outer layer (epithelial tissue)

Underlying or inner layer of the skin

Fatty tissue found beneath the dermis

Fibrous protein that gives the skin form and strength

hard protein material found in the epidermis, hair, and nails

deepest layer of epidermis; very well nourished with great blood supply

the most superficial layer of the epidermis consisting of dead cells

A pigment that gives the skin its color

upper layer of the dermis that forms dermal papillae

The deepest skin layer. Contains arteries, veins, sweat, sebaceous glands, and pressure receptors

cover surfaces, line body cavities, and form protective sheets around organs

cutaneous, mucous, and serous membranes

synovial membranes

skin

lines all body cavities that open to the exterior body surface

See image

lines all body cavities that are closed to exterior (except dorsal body cavity & joint cavities)

See image

Lines the wall of the body cavity

lines the organ within the body cavity

thin, clear fluid that separates parietal & visceral layers of serous membranes

membrane that lines the abdominal cavity

double-layered membrane surrounding each lung

Double-layered membrane surrounding the heart.

lines capsules that surround joints

flattened fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane and containing a thin film of synovial fluid

elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon

two sides of pigmented mole do not match

borders of lesion are not smooth but exhibit indentations

pigmented spots contains areas of different colors (blacks, browns, tans and sometimes blues & reds)

spot is larger than 6 mm in diameter (size of pencil eraser)

least malignant and most common skin cancer, arises from stratum basale

- Arises from keratinocytes of stratum spinosum

cancer of melanocytes; only accounts for 5% of skin cancers; often deadly; caused by sun exposure

itchy, red, peeling condition of skin between toes

inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, common on the dorsal neck

small fluid-filled blisters that itch and sting, caused by a herpes simplex infection

pink, water-filled, raised lesions that develop a yellow crust and eventually rupture

A chronic condition, characterized by overproduction of skin cells that results in reddened epidermal lesions covered with dry, silvery scales that itch, burn, crack, and sometimes bleed
