Anatomically (structure) of skin
1.epidermis
2.dermis
3.hypodermis
What layer is the Epidermis
top most layer
How many cells is epidermis composed of?
40-50 cells
Epidermis is Avascular or vascular?
Avascular. Doesn't have a blood supply
Epidermis is 90% made up of what?
Keratinocyte
Keratinocyte:
protein keratin. (H2o proof, scaly, tough)
Dermis:
layer below epidermis
Dermis has two layers:
1. papillary layer
2. Retriculor
Papillary Layer-
Blood supply (nutrition)
Reticulor
hair follicles, nerves, glands, protein fibers (elastin&collagen)
Hypodermis
Below the dermis ( also known as subcutaneous tissue) adipose cells, collagen,
reticular
F(x): of hypodermis
Protection, cushion, energy reserve
Physiology of skin:
1.Thermo-regulation
2.protection
3.sensation
4.excretion
5.dermis
Thermoregulation
Temperature. Increase and decrease heat in body.
Thermoregulation has two types:
Vasodilate
Vasoconstrict
, Vasodilate:
Sweating -> decrease heat
Vasoconstrict
Increase heat, Increase core body temp
Protection:
U.V radiation.
Trauma,
bacteria (microorganism)
toxins
Sensation:
Nerves.
Tactile (3types)
-Pressure
-touch
-proprioception (joint muscle)
Pain/temperature.
Excretion:
remove waste and toxins.
Sweat: Nacl, H2O, heat.
Sweat is mostly salt
Dermis:
blood resevoir
Vitamin D systhesis:
Need UV to hit skin to make vitamin D.
________ is the most important storehouse in the body for minerals such as
calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium salts.
Bone
The ribs and sternum are classified as ______ bones because they are thin and
broad.
flat
T/F: Hematopoiesis occurs in both the red and yellow marrow of bones.
False.
______________ ___________ resists forces from many directions and forms a
protective framework for the red bone marrow.
Spongy bone
The hormone that is primarily involved in the control of bone resorption is:
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Thin, broad bones such as the ribs and sternum?
Flat bone
The presence of a diaphysis is indicative of this bone shape?
Long bone
This type of bone is characterized by the presence of trabeculae?
Spongy bone
The diaphyses of long bones are created by a thick layer of this type of bone?
compact bone
The appearance of this structure signals the end of bone growth?
