Only the epidermis (red, painful, and edema)

epidermis and part of dermis (blistered)

All three layers have been affected

Absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes

hair loss

Found in armpits, around nipples, and groin; Secrete products into hair follicles; Produce sticky, cloudy secretions; Break down and cause odors;

A fingerprint pattern in which ridges enter from one side, rise in the center, and flow out the other side.

a smooth muscle attached to hair follicles that causes "goose bumps" to appear on the skin when contracted

Most common and least severe type of skin cancer; often characterized by light or pearly nodules.

disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth

the yellow pigment of the skin

modified sweat glands, located in external ear canal, secretes cerumen (earwax)

SOMETHING I CAN'T USE ON THE TEST

several layers of flattened cells surrounding medulla

Over 25% of the body has second-degree burns

Outer protective layer of translucent cells similar to shingles on a roof.

bluish discoloration of the skin

Second layer of skin; connective tissue

Decreases:

top layer of skin

results in curly/kinky hair

a small brownish spot (of the pigment melanin) on the skin

distal end of a nail

compressed, keratinized cells that arise from hair follicles, the sacs that enclose the hair fibers

Oxygen carrying pigment in red blood cells; can alter color of the skin of a person

Deep to the dermis; not technically part of the skin; made of adipose tissue; helps insulate

Consists of the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nail

covers arms and legs

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

The process by which cells form fibrils of keratin and harden

nerve endings that are sensitive to pressure

epidermal macrophages that help activate the immune system

indicate the predominant direction of underlying collagen fibers

begins at one side of the finger, loops around the ridge ends at the same side of the finger that it began.

the half moon shaped, white area at the base of the nail

Most serious form of skin cancer; often characterized by black or dark brown patches on the skin that may appear uneven in texture, jagged, or raised.

Specialized organs in mammals that produce milk to nourish the young

innermost layer of a hair

a dark brown to black pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. It is responsible for tanning of skin exposed to sunlight.

a mature melanin-forming cell, typically in the skin.

touch receptors in the skin

outgrowth of the skin, composed of keratin, at the end of each finger and toe

the part of the nail beneath the body and root from which the nail is produced

visible portion of the nail

fastens the nail to the finger or toe by fitting into a groove in the skin

results in wavy hair

outer layer of the dermis, directly beneath the epidermis

Attached to subcutaneous layer, bundles of thick collagen fibers, wandering macrophages and other floating cells, fibroblasts; some adipose cells in the deepest layers; coarse elastic fibers; collagen fibers form a weave network that is more regular than the papillary region (helps resist skin stretching); blood vessels, nerves, sebaceous (oil) glands, suderiferous (sweat) glands occupy spaces between fibers; combination of collagen and elastic fibers provide the skin strength, extensibility, elasticity

results in straight hair

Head and Neck= 9%

secrete sebum (oil) into the hair follicles where the hair shafts pass through the dermis

oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands

Type of skin cancer more serious than basal cell carcinoma; often characterized by scaly red papules or nodules.

Layers of the skin

the deepest layer of the epidermis consisting of stem cells capable of undergoing cell division to form new cells

the most superficial layer of the epidermis consisting of dead cells

3rd layer of the epidermis

a layer of the epidermis found only in the thick skin of the fingers, palms, and soles

The spiny layer just above the stratum basale layer.

Stretch marks; Linear dermal scars that affects skin that is subjected to continuous stretching;

perspiration

The glands that secrete sweat, located in the dermal layer of the skin.

coarse, long hair of eyebrows, scalp, axillary, and pubic regions

pale, fine hair; found as children's and adult women's body hair

Waxy or "cheesy" white substance found coating the skin of newborn humans

Precursor made within the skin; helps with the uptake of Calcium

white patches on the skin caused by the destruction of melanocytes associated with autoimmune disorders

Looks like a target. The delta points are on the edges of the center (there are two).
