Definition
adipose
Term
cells of the epidermis: ____: produces keratin, the tough, fibrous, waterproof protein that given skin its resiliency and strength
Definition
keratinocytes
Term
cells of the epidermis: ____:produce melanin pigment
Definition
melanocytes
Term
cells of the epidermis: ____:phagocytize microinvaders; macrophage specific to epidermis
Definition

Term
cells of the epidermis: ____:aid in the sensation of touch
Definition
merkel cells
Term
stratus corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum germinativum (basale)
Definition
layers of the epidermis superficial to deep
Term
deepest layer of epidermis, consists of a single row of keratinocytes attached to epithelial basement membrane , merkel cells, melanocytes, keratocytes found here
Definition
stratum germinativum
Term
layers of the epidermis: ___ ___ (Spiny layer), contains several layers of cells held together by desmosomes, Langerhans cells found in this layer
Definition
stratum spinsoum
Term
layers of the epidermis: ___ ___ : composed of two to four layers of flattened, diamond shaped keratocytes that contain lamellated granules of glycolipids, these glycolipids play a role in helping waterproof the skin and slowing water loss across the epidermis
Definition
stratum granulosum, granular, middle layer
Term
layers of the epidermis: ___ ___ : only found in very thick skin, composed of a few rows of flattened dead cells, contents of the keratogranules combine with intracellular tonofilaments to form keratin fibers

Term
layers of the epidermis: ___ ___ : composed of 20 to 30 rows of keratocyte, remnants called horny or cornified cells also known as dandruff
Definition
stratum corneum, horny, outermost layer
Term
___ skin usually consists of three epidermal layers rather than five, stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum corneum, the surface of this skin is covered in scale like folds, ___ ___ - a knob like elevation can be seen periodically, usually associated with a tactile hair, tylotrich hairs, important in the perception of touch
Definition
hairy, tactile elevation
Term
skin cancer, ___ ___ ___ - spreads rapidly ulcerated lesions, east away at tissue. ___ ___ - abnormal genetic programming of the melanocyte, gray horse, nodules that can start to ulcerate. ___ ___ ___ - do not spread but do reoccur once removed

Term
2nd layer of the dermis is the ___ ___, consists of ______ _____connective tissue (80% of the dermis), bundles of collagen fibers from the papillary layer blend into those of reticular layer, most fibrous bundles tend to run parallel to each other, separations between bundles represent tension lines in skin, in area where a great deal of bending occurs, dermal folds or flexure lines are present
Definition
reticular layer, dense irregular
Term
3rd layer of the integument is the ___ composed of areolar tissue containing adipose, blood, and lymphatic vessels and nerves, the ____ ___ is a special touch receptor (sensitive to heavier pressure than Meissner's corpuscle found in the dermis), fibers of ____ are continuous with those of the dermis, the ___ ___ permits skin to moved freely over underlying bone and muscle without putting tension on skin
Definition
hypodermis, pacinian corpuscle, hypodermis, hypodermal layer
