GNUR 155 Exam 1 (Chapters 1-4)
accessory structures of the cutaneous membrane - ✅✅-hair follicles, exocrine
glands, nails
acne - ✅✅ -inflammatory disease of the skin involving the sebaceous glands
and hair follicles
Anatomy - ✅✅-The study of body structure
apocrine glands - ✅✅-Sweat glands in the pubic and underarm areas that
secrete thicker sweat, that produce odor when come in contact with bacteria on
the skin
arrector pili - ✅✅
-a smooth muscle attached to hair follicles that causes "goose
bumps" to appear on the skin when contracted
✅✅-Listening with a stethoscope
auscultation -
carotene - ✅✅-the yellow/orange pigment of the skin
ceruminous glands - ✅✅-modified sweat glands, located in external ear canal,
secretes cerumen (earwax)
Contralateral -✅✅-on the opposite side of the body
conventional radiography - ✅✅-x-rays
CT scan - ✅✅-a series of x-ray photographs taken from different angles and
combined by computer into a composite representation of a slice through the
body
cutaneous membrane - ✅✅-The skin; composed of epidermal and dermal
layers
Cyanotic - ✅✅-Bluish skin color due to lack of Oxygen
, ✅✅-study of structure and function of cells
cytology -
Dermis - ✅✅-layer of skin made with connective, nerve, and muscle tissue
developmental anatomy - ✅✅-traces structural changes that occur in the body
throughout the life span
differentiation - ✅✅-process in which cells become specialized in structure and
function
digital subtraction angiography - ✅✅-video equipment and a computer produce
x-ray images of blood vessels
✅✅-glands that produce sweat; found over most of the body
eccrine glands -
epidermal growth - ✅✅-Cells progressively migrate from stratum basale to
stratum corneum. As cells move away from sustaining capillaries, they lose
metabolic capabilities and nuclei. They become more keratinized. (takes about a
month)
Epidermis - ✅✅-outermost layer of skin
eponychium - ✅✅-cuticle
erythema - ✅✅-redness of the skin
exocrine glands - ✅✅--secrete chemical substances into ducts that lead either
to other organs or out of the body
-assist in thermoregulation
-excretes waste
free nerve endings -✅✅-respond to pain and temperature
functions of hair - ✅✅-protection, heat retention, sensory reception, visual
identification, chemical signal dispersal
