There are no blood vessels present in the epidermis, and the cells receive their
nutrients by diffusion from vessels in the underlying tissue
Dermis - (answers)Dense connective tissue that is deeper and usually thicker than
the epidermis
Contains both collagenous and elastic fibers to give it strength and elasticity
Melanocytes - (answers)A cell that produces the dark or black pigment melanin
What is embedded in the dermis? - (answers)Hair, nails, and certain glands
Sensory Receptors - (answers)detect changes in the environment, such as heat,
cold, pain, pressure, and touch
Papillae - (answers)On the palms, the fingertips, and the soles of the feet form
distinct patterns or ridges that provide friction for grasping objects. Blood vessels,

nerve endings, and sensory receptors extend into the papillae to bring them into

sometimes called the hypodermis
What gives the skin its color? - (answers)some genetic, some physiologic, and
some environmental factors
What causes the yellow tint in the skin? - (answers)Some people have the
yellowish pigment carotene
What affect does ultraviolet light have on melanocyctic activity? -
(answers)increases melanocyte activity so that more melanin is produced and the
skin becomes darker or tanned
What is the shaft? - (answers)that portion that extends beyond the surface of the
