5500267570skinWhat organ is the integument?5
5500267571It consists of all four primary tissue types.Why is the skin considered an organ? (Think of the definition of an organ.)6
5500267572All of them - epithelium, connective, muscle, nervousWhich of the four primary tissue types make up the integument?7
5500267573epidermis & dermisWhat are the two layers of the integument?8
5500267574subcutaneous layer (subq or hypodermis)What layer of tissue lies just deep to the integument?9
5500267575the integument"What organ has the following functions: protection,10
5500267576prevention of water loss, temperature regulation, metabolic regulation, immune defense, sensory reception, excretion by means of secretion?"11
5500267577keratinized stratified squamous epitheliumWhat type of tissue makes up the epidermis?12
5500267578avascularThe epidermis lacks blood vessels. What medical term describes this?13
5500267579Palmar aspect of the hands and the plantar surface of the footWhere is thick epidermis found?14
5500267580Most of the bodyWhere is thin epidermis found?15
5500267581hemoglobin, melanin, caroteneWhat three pigments contribute to skin color?16
5500267582nevus (mole)What is a harmless, localized overgrowth of melanin-forming cells?17
5500267583freckleWhat is a yellowish or brown spot caused by localized areas of excessive melanocyte activity rather than an increase in melanocyte number?18
5500267584hemangiomaWhat is a congenital anomaly that results in skin discoloration due to blood vessels that proliferate and form a benign tumor?19
5500267585friction ridgesWhat are contours of the skin surface that form ridge patterns on the palmar aspect of the hand and the plantar surface of the foot?20
5500267586papillary layerWhat layer of the dermis is superficial and contains capillaries and sensory receptors?21
5500267587reticular layerWhat layer of the dermis is deeper and contains large amounts of collagen and consists primarily of dense irregular connective tissue?22
5500267588lines of cleavageWhat are parallel bundles of collagen and elastic fibers in the skin resulting from the direction of applied stress during routine movement?23
5500267589Any procedure resulting in a cut a right angles to a cleavage line is usually pulled open due to recoil from cut elastic fibers resulting in slow healing and increased scarring.Why are lines of cleavage clinically important?24
5500267590innervationNerve fibers are extensively dispersed throughout the dermis. What is this property of the distribution of nerves to or in a part of the body?25
5500267591vasoconstriction & vasodilationWhat two processes change the diameter of blood vessels and in the skin help regulate body temperature and blood pressure?26

5500267595"It is thicker in women. Adult males accumulate subq fat primarily at the neck, upper arms, abdomen, along the lower back, and over the buttocks. Adult females accumulate it primarily in the breasts, posterior brachium, shoulders, hips, and thighs."How does the distribution of subcutaneous fat differ between men and women?28
