What are the two types of perspiration?
insensible and sensible
What is insensible perspiration?
Water loss from a traumatic event (i.e extreme burn)
What is sensible perspiration?
Water loss from sweat glands (i.e it’s hot outside)
What is the difference between sensible and insensible perspiration?
Insensible perspiration is when water loss is caused by an injury/burn, whereas sensible perspiration is when water loss by sweating.
What are the 5 layers of the epidermis (THICK SKIN) from the basement layer to the top surface ?
Stratum Basale
Stratum Spinosum
Stratum Granulosum
Stratum Lucidium
Stratum Corneum
What is the function of the stratum basale (bottom layer)?
it makes new cells that migrate to the stratum corneum
What is the function of the stratum corneum (top layer)?
it is the outermost layer of the skin; protective barrier

Where is the thick skin located?
soles of feet; palms
Where is the thin skin located?
most of the body
What are the 3 layers of the skin?
Epidermis
Dermis (2 parts)
Hypodermis (subcutaneous)
What is the bottom layer of the skin?
hypodermis (subcutaneous)
What type of tissue is the hypodermis composed of?
fat (loose connective tissue)
What triggers goosebumps?
the Arrector pili
What type of tissue is the epidermis composed of?
stratified squamous epithelial tissue
What type of tissue is the dermis composed of?
dense irregular connective tissue
What are the two parts of the dermis?
1) Papillary layer; top layer
2) Reticular layer; bottom layer
How long does it take for the migration of new cells?
7 to 10 days (from the Basale to the Corneum)
What is the difference between the papillary layer and the reticular layer of the dermis?
The papillary layer has papilla (ridges)
whereas the reticular layer has sweat glands.
What is the function of the papillary layer of the dermis?
it is the layer of skin responsible for fingerprints; the upper, thinner layer of the dermis (skin), composed of loose connective tissue with many blood vessels
What is the function of the reticular layer of the dermis?
it is the layer that contains sweat glands; the deeper, thicker layer of the dermis, made up of dense connective tissue that provides structural support and strength to the skin
What is the function of melanin/melanocytes?
it is a pigment providing pigmentation for the eyes, hair, and skin.
What is the function of carotene?
it is a pigment that causes orange coloration
** think carrots
What illness causes yellow pigmentation?
Jaundice
What condition causes blue pigmentation?
Cyanosis
What is the function of sebaceous glands?
it produces sebum (the equivalent of a natural oil), which protects the skin and hair.
What is the function of the apocrine glands?
it produces thick sweat, found in the groin and armpits
What is the function of the merocrine glands?
it produces thin sweat, found mostly all around the body
What is the function of the ceruminous glands?
it produces ear wax
What is the difference between the aprocrine sweat glands and the merocrine sweat glands?
Aprocrine produces thick sweat
whereas, merocrine produces thin sweat
Due to the thicker sweat of the apocrine system, bacteria ____________
gets trapped and grows.
The best way to describe skin regeneration is :
skin regeneration starts at the basale and after 7-10 days, the new skin cells reach the corneum
(simpler words: new cells from stratum basale go to stratum corneum in a 7-10 day span) ***
Which section of the long bone is this?
proximal epiphysis
Which section of the long bone is this?
diaphysis (shaft)
Which section of the long bone is this?
distal epiphysis
What are the two types of bone coverings?
periosteum and perichondrium
What is the function of the periosteum?
outer covering of bones; it provides a point of attachment for tendons and ligaments
What is the function of the perichondrium?
surrounds cartilage on developing bones; involved in bone remodeling
What is a sinus?
space behind a bone occupied by air
What is tuberosity ?
A small bump/projection found on the bone (i.e tibial tuberosity, ischial tuberosity)
What is a foramen?
A hole found on the skeleton (i.e magnum foramen)
What is a condyle?
smooth bump/projection on a bone that articulates with another bone (i.e occipital condyles)
What is the difference between tuberosity and a condyle?**
a condyle is a smooth, rounded end of a bone that is part of a joint, while a tuberosity is a large, roughened bony projection
What is a fossa?
a shallow depression on a bone (i.e hypophyseal fossa)
What are the different types of bones?
short, flat, irregular, long, and sesamoid
What are examples of short bones?
carpals **and tarsals
What are examples of flat bones?
sternum and parietal ***

What is the correct order of the formation of bone cells? (start to finish)
1) Osteogenic
2) Osteoblasts
3) Osteoclasts
4) Osteocytes
What are osteogenic cells?
stem cells; the start of the process
Later develops into osteoblasts***
What are osteoblast cells?
