Dermis Test

Acne

Increased level of sebum, obstruction of duct

adipose tissue

Fat tissue providing insulation and energy storage.

Apocrine gland

Sweat glands in the pubic and underarm areas that secrete thicker sweat, that produce odor when come in contact with bacteria on the skin, empty's into hair follicles

arrector pili muscle

An involuntary muscle fiber attached to the underside & base of the hair follicle that causes the hair to stand upright

cutaneous membrane

The skin; composed of epidermal and dermal layers

dermal papillae

Found in the upper layers of the dermis, they create your fingerprint pattern

Eccrine gland

Sweat gland that maintains body temperature, onto skin directly

Hair follicle

Tube like structures within your skin that is responsible for growing your hair

Hemoglobin

Oxygen carrying pigment in red blood cells

Keratin

protects deeper cells from air and water loss

Keratinocytes

The most abundant epidermal cells, they function mainly to produce keratin.

Langerhans cells

epidermal macrophages that help activate the immune system, detect and respond to foreign substances, such as allergens

Melanocytes

produce melanin in basal layer

papillary layer

outer layer of the dermis, directly beneath the epidermis, provides layers with sufficient nutrients.

Reticular layer

Deeper layer of the dermis that supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients

Thermoregulation

Process of maintaining an internal temperature within a tolerable range.

Vitamin D synthesis

Sweat glands

Glance that produce and secrete sweat

sebaceous glands

secrete sebum (oil) that secretes a substance called Sebum, which lubricate the skin and hair, keeps them soft and kills bacteria

Sebum

stratum corneum

Most superficial layer of the epidermis, acts as a physical barrier protects against external factors

stratum lucidum

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

stratum granulosum

Composed of flatten cells that contain granules of keratin, a protein that contributes to the strength and waterproofing of the skin. (Strength and structure)

stratum spinosum

a layer of the epidermis that provides strength and flexibility to the skin, thickest layer, keratin

Stratum basale

Produces new skin cells, production of skin pigment, provides attachment to underlying dermis through basement membrane, deepest layer, continuous regeneration.
