________ – chemical, physical, and mechanical barrier
Body temperature _________ is accomplished by dilation (cooling) and constriction (warming) of dermal vessels and increasing sweat gland secretions to cool the body
Cutaneous _________ – exoreceptors sense ________ and _______
Metabolic functions – synthesis of vitamin D in dermal blood vessels
________ reservoir – skin blood vessels store up to 5% of the body’s blood volume
Excretion – limited amounts of nitrogenous wastes are eliminated from the body in sweat

6. Skin (Integument) *Label your diagram

7. Epidermis
Composed of __________ stratified squamous epithelium, consisting of four distinct cell types and four or five layers
Cell types include keratinocytes, melanocytes, Merkel cells, and Langerhans’ cells
Outer portion of the skin is exposed to the external environment and functions in protection

8. Specialized Cells of the Epidermis
___________ – produce the fibrous protein keratin
__________ – produce the brown pigment melanin
___________ cells – epidermal macrophages that help activate the immune system
______ cells – function as touch receptors in association with sensory nerve endings

10. Stratum Basale _________ epidermal layer firmly attached to the dermis
Consists of a single row of the youngest keratinocytes
Cells undergo _____ division

11. Stratum Spinosum (_______ Layer)
Cells contain a web-like system of intermediate filaments attached to desmosomes
Melanin granules and Langerhans’ cells are abundant in this layer

12. Stratum Granulosum (__________ Layer)
Thin; three to five cell layers in which drastic changes in keratinocyte appearance occurs
Keratohyaline and lamellated granules accumulate in the cells of this layer

13. Stratum Lucidum (_______ Layer)
Thin, transparent band superficial to the stratum granulosum
Consists of a few rows of flat, dead keratinocytes
Present only in thick skin

14. Stratum Corneum (_______ Layer)
Outermost layer of keratinized cells
Accounts for three quarters of the epidermal thickness
Functions include:
______________
Protection from _______ and ___________
Rendering the body relatively insensitive to biological, chemical, and physical assaults

15. Review of Epidermis 1. What are the 3 distinct regions of skin?
2. What is the name of the deepest epidermal layer?
3. What is the name of the outermost epidermal layer?

16. Dermis
_______ major skin region containing strong, flexible connective tissue
Cell types include fibroblasts, macrophages, and occasionally mast cells and white blood cells
Composed of two layers:
a) _________ (connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers)
b) ________ (collagen fibers add strength and resiliency to the skin; elastin fibers provide stretch-recoil properties)

17. Hypodermis Subcutaneous layer ______ to the skin
Composed of ______ (fat) and areolar connective tissue

18. Skin Pigments
________ – yellow to reddish-brown to black pigment, responsible for dark skin colors
Freckles and pigmented moles – result from local accumulations of melanin
________ – yellow to orange pigment, most obvious in the palms and soles of the feet
__________ – reddish pigment responsible for the pinkish hue of the skin
