Side A ------ Side B Integumentary system ------ the skin and all associated parts(glands, hair, and nails) epidermis ------ The outer layer of the skin. Composed of stratified squamous epithelium. Dermis ------ The inner layer of the skin. Consists of dense connective tissue that is rich with blood and lympth vessels, nerve endings, oil and sweat glands, and hair follicles. Subcutaneous layer ------ Located below the dermis. Connective tissue layer that binds the dermis to the underlying structures. Melanocytes ------ Specialized epithelial cells found primarily in the epidermis. They synthesize melanin. Melanin ------ Provides a protective barrier to the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. Adipose Tissue ------ Contains lipocytes (fat cells). Is part of the subcutaneous tissue. The amount of tissue varies with sex, age, region of body, and nutritional state of individual. Sudoriferous glands ------ Sweat glands that produce perspiration or sweat onto the surface of the skin through pores. Located primarily on the palms, soles, forehead, and armpits. Sebaceous glands ------ Oil glands. Referred to as exocrine glands because they excrete substances through ducts. These glands are located in the dermis and produce an oily substance called sebum. Hair ------ Found on nearly all parts of the body. Main purpose is protection. Insulates from cold and heat. Nails ------ Serve as protection from injury, aid in grasping and picking up small objects. adip/o ------ fat. lip/o (lip/oma) ------ fat cutane/o (sub/cutane/ous) ------ skin derm/o (hypo/derm/ic) ------ skin dermat/o (dermat/itis) ------ skin myc/o (dermat/o/myco/sis) ------ fungus onych/o (onych/o/malacia) ------ nail scler/o (scler/o/derma) ------ hardening albin/o (albin/ism) ------ white leuk/o (leuk/o/cyte) ------ white cirrh/o (cirrh/o/sis) ------ yellow jaund/o (jaund/ice) ------ yellow cyan/o (cyan/o/derma) ------ blue erythem/o (erythem/a) ------ red erythemat/o (erythemat/ous) ------ red erythr/o (erythr/o/cyte) ------ red melan/o (melan/oma) ------ black epi- (epi/derm/o/lysis) ------ above, upon sub- (sub/ungu/al) ------ under, below -derma (scler/o/derma) ------ skin -logist (dermat/o/logist) ------ spicialist in the study of -logy (dermat/o/logy) ------ study of -oid (lip/oid) ------ resembling Abscess ------ a localized collection of pus in any body part. Alopecia ------ partial or complete absense or loss of hair, baldness. Cellulitis ------ inflammation of cellular or connective tissue. Spreaded infection. Cicatrix ------ firm scar tissue that forms in the healing of a sore or wound. Scar. Contusion ------ Bruise. An injury in which the skin is not broken, caused by a blow to the body and characterized by swelling, discoloration, and pain. Cyst ------ Closed sac or pouch in or under the skin, with a definate wall, that contains fluid, semifluid, or solid material. Dermatitis ------ Rash. Inflammation of the skin. Ecchymosis ------ black and blue mark on the skin caused by hemorrhages in the skin from injury of by leakage of blood from blood vessels underneath the skin. More serious bruise. Erythema ------ redness or inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes resulting from dilation and congestion of superficial capillaries. Gangrene ------ Necrosis or death of tissue. Turns black. Impetigo ------ Inflammatory skin disease characterized by isolated pustules that become crusted and rupture. Heterograft/ Xenograft ------ Tissue obtained from an individual of one species for transplantation to an individual of a different species. Cautery ------ A technique used to destroy tissue by electricity, freezing, heat, or corrosive chemicals. Keloid ------ An overgrowth of scar tissue at the site of a wound of the skin. Often happens at the site of a piercing. Laceration ------ Wound or irregular tear of the flesh. lesion ------ A wound, injury, or pathological change in body tissue. Lipoma ------ A benign growth made up of fatty tissue, synonymous with adipoma. Melanoma ------ Any group of malignant, darkly pigmented neoplasms that originate in the skin and are made up of melanocytes. Black tumor. Nevus (nevi) ------ A pigmented skin blemish that usually benign that may become cancerous. Mole. Pediculosis ------ Infestation with lice. Petechia ------ Minute or small hemorrhagic spot on the skin. Pruritus ------ Itching, may be from allergic response. Pustule ------ Small elevation of skin filled with lymph or pus. Ulcer ------ An open sore or lesion of the skin or mucous membrane accompanied by sloughing or inflamed necrotic tissue. Decubitus ------ An inflammation, sore, or ulcer in the skin over a bony prominence caused by impaired circulation in a portion of the body surface from lying in one position over a prolonged period. Bed sore. Partial-thickness burns ------ superficial burn that only damages two or three layers of the epidermis. Heal in 2 to 7 days. Full-thickness burns ------ Affect all skin layers, including subcutaneous tissue. Center of burn may feel painless due to destruction of nerve endings. Biopsy ------ Excision of small piece of living tissue from an organ or other part of the body for microscopic examination to confirm or establish a diagnosis. Debridement ------ Removal of dead or damaged tissue from a wound or burn site to prevent infection and to facilitate healing. Skin graft ------ Skin obtained from another part of the body, or from a donor, and used to repair a defect or trauma of the skin. Autograft / homograft ------ Any tissue obtained from one part of the body and implanted at another location in the same individual.
