Keratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium (White Skin): Vertical Section (Slide 7) List of Tissue: This section shows white skin which is composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. The structures of the white skin includes the keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, merocrine sweat glands, apical (free) surface, basal membrane, sebaceous gland, dense irregular connective tissue, collagen fibers in bundles, a blood vessel, and nuclei of the epithelium. Description of the tissues:
In Chapter 6 we learn about the Integumentary System. The discussion on the integumentary system will include the skin and subcutaneous tissues, hair, nails, and cutaneous glands and disorders of the skin. Skin is the organ that covers our internal organs and tissues. It provides for the sense of touch, helps to protect us from invading bacteria and infections, aids in regulating our internal body temperature and water balance and, with the help of the sun, provides us with Vitamin D, which is
INTEGUMENT AND ITS DERIVATIVES Integument is the outer protective covering of the body which includes skin and all the structures derived from it. The integumentary system is the largest organ system of the body. The integumentary system has a variety of functions. It may function as water proof, cushion, and provides protection to the deeper tissues, regulate temperature, excretes waste and is the site of sensory receptor for pain, pressure and
Skin histology Skin is considered one of the most important parts of the body with a surface area is 2m2. The main roles of the skin are to protect the body against environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, pollutants, bacteria, dehydration, regulate temperature, feel the impacts on the skin, participate in the secretion process. Skin thickness varies according to age, gender and particular area of the body. The skin consists of three main layers: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous. Each layer
Integument simply means the natural covering of the body and it is made up of skin, hair, and nails. Not only is the skin the largest organ in the body but it is also the most visible organ system. Its purpose is to shield the human body from substances in the outside world that could be harmful. The skin is also the only thing that is double the weight of the brain or liver. There are four functions of the integumentary system: sensation, protection, thermoregulation, and secretion. Sensation detect
these organs work together to form this system. The integumentary system is composed of the skin and the structures related to the skin, which include the hair, the finger nails, the sensory receptors and the glands (Shier, Butler, & Lewis, 2009). This system has an important function since it provides protection to the body, helps to maintain body temperature, and contains sensory receptors (p.117). The skin has essential function such as regulating homeostasis and body temperature, also delaying
The Integumentary system contains the hair, the skin, nerves, nails and glands. There are four types of glands of the Integumentary system. 1.) Sudoriferous glands. 2.) Cerminous glands. 3.) Sebaceous glands. 4.) Mammary glands What are the functions? The Integumentary system protects the body from infections and regulates temperature. It also, protects your body living organs. The integumentary system helps to get rid of waste and sensation plays a big role in this system. It plays as your touch
and secretion. It consists of the hair, nails, skin, sebaceous and sweat glands. The largest organ of the entire body is the skin. The skin consists of three different layers. The epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous layer, these are the three layers of the skin. There is a layer that is deeper than the skin and contains body fat, that layer is called the hypodermis. Sweat glands are also called sudoriferous glands. One of the functions of the skin is to maintain homeostasis. Synthesis of vitamin
MSc Keratosis pilaris is a very common skin condition in which keratin forms hard plugs in the hair follicles. It is an inherited disorder running in families with a 1 in 2 chance of each child inheriting it from an affected parent. Keratosis pilaris is not infectious. Keratin is a natural protein present in the outer portion of the skin. There are many different types of keratin such as A-keratin and B-keratin. These keratins help build different types of skin such as hair and nails. In some people
Grey’s Anatomy Have you ever thought about how many people watch television every day? “Close to 20 million people tune in every week to the show Grey’s Anatomy” (askville.amazon.com). Some of the viewers watch the show every week and are dedicated fans. Others just watch when they can catch it, but even when they don’t watch it every time, it still has an effect. Viewers who are not regular watchers tend to look at more of the medical information. They stop on the channel because they like medical
Seymour Wishman was a former defense lawyer and prosecutor, and the author of "Anatomy of a Jury," the novel "Nothing Personal" and a memoir "Confessions of a Criminal Lawyer." "Anatomy of a Jury" is Seymour Wishman's third book about the criminal justice system and those who participate in it. He is a known writer and very highly respected "person of the law." Many believe that the purpose of this book is to put you in the shoes of not only the defendant but into the shoes of the prosecutor, the
that “specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin problems” (WebMD 112). This practice appealed to me because of how many responsibilities a dermatologist has. Their responsibilities don’t end at one thing, rather, they have an extensive knowledge on many subjects and sub subjects. Dermatologists focus on the skin. The largest organ of all we possess. Being a dermatologist requires you to give a diagnosis, treat the conditions of either the skin, hair, or nails. It also requires you to perform
Purpose/Abstract A minks body function has similarities as a humans body, therefore, we use minks as a understanding of the human anatomy. Introduction Anatomy classes often use minks for dissection to help teach students about the anatomy of a body. Dissections are the cutting apart and separation of tissue and it is useful and follows comparative anatomy, the study of different species similar to the human body. Mink dissections are useful because they teaches students through visually and hands
functions, layers, skin appendages, and cells found in the human skin. Then it will discuss how the skin is altered in the diseased state and several different signs that give indication of the skin being in the diseased state. Next the essay will cover symptoms associated with acne vulgaris. Lastly it will go over treatments for acne vulgaris which include diet and/or medicines. The functions, layers, skin appendages, and cells found in the skin. Balaban and Bobick (2008) state that skin has several
The Anatomy of a Roller Coaster To adequately understand the relationship between physics and roller coasters, it is essential to first describe and explain the basic structure of roller coasters. In simple terms, a roller coaster is much like that of a passenger train. To explain, a roller coaster consists of a series of connected cars that move on tracks. However, unlike a train, a roller coaster has no engine, or rather a power source of its own. There are two major types of roller coasters
Many people have told me that my educational career goal is difficult to achieve, and it most likely is. I have dreamed of becoming a doctor since I was seven years old and now, I am one step closer. I will be majoring in Biomedical Science (Pre-Professional Concentration) at the University of Central Florida in hopes of attending Medical School. As of right now, I am deeply considering the career path of an Obstetric Gynecologist. During the summer of 2014, I attended the National Youth Leadership
Anatomy and physiology are a vital part in the medical coding and billing process. Without knowledge of them the modern day medical coder and biller would experience difficulty taking care of business effectively. The new ICD 10 codes are more elaborate and complex than the ICD 9 codes. Understanding anatomy and physiology will help to eliminate costly mistakes and keep the profit flowing in the right direction. Understanding Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy is the area of science that deals with the
Bone breaks are caused by trauma which is caused by a fall or an accident. It can also be caused by osteoporosis which is the thinning and weakening on the bone tissue. This would cause bone breaks as the weak bone will not be able to absorb any impact which would result in bone breaks. (Parker, 2005) The final common cause of bone breaks is overuse of the bone. This is the repeated motion of the limb which can tire the muscles surrounding the bone which will then put more force on the bone during
the humanities and social sciences. Do another fours in medical school to prepare for residency. The break down of medical school is students spend most of the first two years of medical school in laboratories and classrooms, taking courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, psychology, medical ethics, and the laws governing medicine. They also gain practical skills, learning to take medical histories, examine patients, and diagnose illnesses. The last two years medical students work with
Introduction: Applying for medicine is well known for being one of the most competitive degrees to embark upon. Universities look for outstanding students who excel within their studies and have a passion for studying. There are several methods of getting into medicine, however some methods are ideal whilst some aren’t. Thousands of students apply for medicine every year, making it a very a difficulty and competitive course to get into. Therefore, this makes medicine a significantly controversial
