6143379972Epidermiskeratinized stratified squamous epithelium0
6143383490DermisLoose areolar connective tissue and dense irregular connective tissue1
6143390624SkinCutaneous membrane-Epidermis and dermis2
6143398304Mechanical traumaFunction 1 of skin, stratified squamous, keratinized epithelium provides a durable, but flexible surface3
6143404598PathogensFunction 2 of skin, continuous barrier to invasion by microorganisms or pathogens that can cause disease contains cells of immune systems that destroy pathogens before they invade deeper tissues4
6143413000EnvironmentFunction 3 of skin, Provides protection from ultraviolet light before it damages other tissues5
6143422755SensationNumerous sensory receptors that detect changes in internal and or external environment6
6143426821ThermoregulationProcess that relies on negative feedback loops for maintenance of a stable internal temperature7
6143430788ExcretionWaste products and toxins are eliminated from the body8
6143433657KeratinIn epidermis, resistant to mechanical trauma9
6143436818Stratum Basalesingle layer of stem cells that rest on the basement membrane and appear slightly cuboidal or columnar rather than squamous10
6148115303Scarring, unable to regulate body temp, nerve damage, suppressed immune system, fluid homeostasis is affectedComplications of the integument(outer, protective layer) of burn victims11
6148122370UVBUV radiation with shorter wavelength12
6148125032ShorterWhich has a higher energy associated with it, longer or shorter wavelengths13
6148133566premature skin aging, eye damage, skin cancers, suppress immune systemUVA and UVB rays play roles in:14
6148142863Damages the skin's cellular DNA in the nucleus, and produces genetic mutations that may lead to skin cancerHow does the UV radiation cause skin cancer15
6148147949Basal and squamous cell carcinomaNonmelanoma skin cancers16
6148150422UVAUV radiation that penetrates to the dermis of the skin17
6148154277UVA UVBUV radiation that promotes photoaging and wrinkles18
6148163865Dermis has collagen that is breaking down Epidermis has keratin that is breaking downWhat is damaged causing the appearance of wrinkles in photoaging19
6148170286UVATanning booths use this kind of radiation20
614817342975Tanning booths increase chance of developing carcinoma by this much percent21
6148179398UVBDoes not penetrate glass22
6148185960UVBContributes most to sunburn23
6148187487Sun Protection factorHow long it will take for UVB rays to redden skin. SPF 15 will take 15x longer for skin to redden than if you did not have it on24
614819723415Lowest SPF adequate25
6148204575Absorb the UV radiation before it penetrates the skin because of the thin, protective film on the surface of the skinChemical filters in sunscreen26
6148209788Reflect UV away from the skin because of the insoluble particles in sunscreenPhysical barriers in sunscreen27
6148226427Function of dermisProvides blood supply for epidermis28
6148228291Function of dermisContains sensory receptors29
6148231509Function of dermisAnchors epidermis in place30
6148239077Melanin is producedWhy do we tan31
6148244089Skin pigmentsDetermined by various amounts of orange-red-black protein pigment melanin32
6148251769Melanocytes in stratum basale of epidermisWhat is melanin produced by33
6148255214Chemical reaction of melanin2 molecules of amino acid tyrosine; chemically bonded by a series of reactions catalyzed by enzyme tyrosinase34
6148264943Oxidation of melaninWhat makes the tan go away35
6148270116Function of melaninProtect keritoncytes from UV damage36
6148272655Function of melaninReduces synthesis of Vitamin D production, prevents overproduction37
6148283302Cells are dead, therefore cant divideWhy is there only cancers in basal and squamous? Why not other layers38
6148298120Asymmetrical shapeClassifying cancer A39
6148301054Border irregularityClassifying cancer B40
6148305344Color varietyClassifying cancer C41
6148309924Diameter larger than 6mm (pencil eraser)Classifying cancer D42
6148313417Evolving (changing) shape and sizeClassifying cancer E43
