HA&P: Chapter 5-Part 2

These can also be called sudoriferous glands, that are distributed over the entire skin surface except the nipples and parts of the external area?

Sweat glands

What kind of sweat gland are also called merocrine sweat glands, and are abundant on the palms, soles of the feet, and forehead and the secretory part lies coiled in the dermis and the duct extends to a open in a funnel-shaped pore at the skin surface?

Eccrine sweat glands

What is a hypotonic filtrate of the blood that passes through the secretory ells of the sweat glands and is released by exocytosis?

Eccrine glands secretion

What kind of sweal gland are largely confined to the axillary and anogenital areas and they are merocrine glands that release their product by exocytosis like the eccrine sweat glands?

Apocrine sweat gland

What kind of apocrine glands are modified apocrine glands found in the lining of the external ear canal and their secretion mixes with sebum produced by cerumen or earwax?

Ceruminous glands

What kind of apocrine glands secrete milk?

Mammary glands

These kind of glands can be oil glands, that are simple branched alveolar glands that are found all over the body except in the thick skin of the palms and soles and are small on the body trunk and limbs, but large on the face, neck, and upper chest?

Sebaceous glands

What do the sebaceous glands secrete that is an oily substance?

Sebum

This is an active inflammation of the sebaceous glands accompanied by “pimples”, whiteheads, or blackheads on the skin?

Acne

What kind of barrier includes skin secretions and melanin, throughout the skin’s surface teems with bacteria, with the low pH of skin secretions called the acid mantle and the skin cells secrete defensins that punches holes in bacteria?

Acid mantle

What kind of barrier, is the continuity of skin and the hardness of its keratinized cells, the skin is a remarkable compromise, and the capacity of the skin arises from the structure of its stratum corneum?

Physical Barriers

What type of barrier includes the dendritic cells that patrol beneath the skin’s surface, engulfing any foreign invaders that have penetrated the epidermis, and also includes the dermal macrophages that constitute a second line of defense that dispose of viruses and bacteria that manage to penetrate the epidermis?

Biological Barriers

What happens when the body temperature rises?

The nervous system stimulates dermal blood vessels to dilate and the sweat glands into vigorous secretory activity

What is the skin richly supplied with that is part of the nervous system and are classified as exteroceptors because they respond to stimuli arising outside the body?

Cutaneous sensory receptors

What kind of vitamin is that the precursor is transported via the blood to other body area to be converted and that it plays various roles in calcium metabolism?

Vitamin D

How many percent does the dermal vascular supply hold of the body’s entire blood volume?

5%

What is the most comm kind of cancer and its important risk factor is exposure to the UV radiation in sunlight and tanning beds, which damages DNA bases, and the basale cells proliferate, invading the dermis and subcutaneous tissue?

Basal Cell Carcinoma

This is the second most common skin cancer, that arises from the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum, the lesion appears as a scaly reddened papule that arises most often on the head and tends to grow rapidly?

Squamous cell carcinoma

What cancer of melanocytes, is the most dangerous skin cancer, accounts for only about 1% of skin cancers, and can begin wherever there is pigment?

Melanoma

What applies for recognizing melanoma?

ABCD rule

Asymmetry

Border irregularity

Color

Diameter

This is a tissue damaged inflicted by intense heat, electricity, radiation, or certain chemicals, and the immediate threat to life is the catastrophic loss of body fluids containing proteins and electrolytes and leads to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance?

Burn

What degree burn, is where only the epidermis is damaged, symptoms are localized redness, swelling, and pain, and this tends to heal in two to three days without special treatment, and sunburn is usually this?

First-degree burns

What degree injures the epidermis and the upper region of the dermis, symptoms mimic those of first-degree burns, but blisters also appear, and the burned area is red and painful?

Second-degree burn

What degree burn are full-thickness burns, that involve the entire thickness of the skin, the burned area appears to be gray-white, cherry red, or blackened, and initially there is little or no edema?

Third-degree burns

What is used for the percentage of body surface burned that is estimated?

Rule of nines

Whenever a baby is born, there skin is covered by what, that is a white, cheesy-looking substance produced by the sebaceous glands that protects the fetus’s skin within the water-filled amnion?

Vernix caseosa

What are scaling and various kinds of skin inflammation?

Dermatitis
