Thin outer layer of the skin
Contains a rich supply of blood vessels
Contains the stratum germinativum and stratum corneum
Cells become keratinized
Appear yellow
Are hardened and water-resistant
Have been replaced by connective tissue
Appear cyanotic
Contains the stratum germinativum and the stratum corneum
Contains the blood vessels that oxygenate the epidermis
Cannot stretch
Is the target for subcutaneous injections
Is located directly under the epidermis
Contains the stratum germinativum
Is the later that tans when exposed to ultraviolet radiation
Supports the dermis
Heat loss increases because of an increase in evaporation
Vasoconstriction trapts heat in the body
Heat loss decreases because of a decrease in evaporation
The arrector pili muscles work overtime
Become yellow
Form calluses
Slough
Synthesize vitamin D in response to ultraviolet radiation
The cells are dead and are constantly sloughed
Is part of the dermis
Originates in the hypodermis
Replenishes the cells of the epidermis that have sloughed
Keratinized
Avascular
Dead
Anchored directly to bone
Cancer
Melanin
Cell necrosis
Keratinization
Tanned patient
Cyanotic patient
Patient who is being treated with anticancer drugs
Patient with vitiligo
Classified as endocrine glands
Secrete sebum
Secrete sweat
Are called oil glands
Is accomplished by contracting skeletal muscles
Is due to the contraction of the arrector pili muscles
Is a heat-loss mechanism
Is accomplished by the metabolism of brown fat.
Person who is chronically hypoxic (low oxygen) because of a lung disease
A person who has liver failure and therefore has excess bilirubin in his blood
A woman who is taking testosterone
A male who has been castrated (loss of testicular function)

A person who is cyanotic
A person with severe digital clubbing
A severely burned patient
A person with drug-induced urticaria
A decrease in the amount of adipose tissue
An increase in the blood flow to the skin
An increased fragility of the skin
Decreased sebaceous gland activity in the skin
The is a decrease in the amount of adipose tissue under the skin
There is an increase of blood flow to the skin, resulting in excess cooling
Metabolic rate increases with age.
Keratinization decreases with age.
