skin structure .....ANSWER.....◦Think of skin as body's largest
organ system
◦Covers 20 square feet of surface area in adults
◦Skin is the sentry that guards the body/ body's armor
Skin structure- 2 layers of the skin .....ANSWER.....Epidermis and
dermis
Epidermis .....ANSWER.....◦Epidermis: outer highly differentiated
layer
Basal cell layer forms new skin cells
Outer horny cell layer of dead keratinized cells
,Page 2 of 132
The epidermis is the outer layer that is tough and meant to
provide protection. It is made up of thin layers and does contain
the fibrous protein, keratin. Melanin resides in this layer and
although melanocytes provide the pigment of the skin, the
amount of melanin produced is what determines skin color. The
epidermis is completely recycled every four weeks.
Dermis .....ANSWER.....◦Dermis: inner supportive layer
Connective tissue or collagen
Elastic tissue
The dermis is the second, inner layer and consists mostly of
collagen. This layer allows our skin to stretch and move with our
body. The nerves, sensory, receptors, blood vessels, and
lymphatics all live in this layer.

What is beneath the dermis and epidermis
.....ANSWER.....Beneath these layers is a subcutaneous layer of
adipose tissue
The subcutaneous layer is the adipose tissue under the dermis. It
stores fat for energy, insulates, and helps to protect.
Hair structure .....ANSWER.....The structure of the hair has three
parts
◦Shaft
◦Root
Bulb Matrix
Hair growth occurs at different times for different follicles (hair),
so there is constant functioning happening. There are two types
of hair.
Shaft .....ANSWER.....the visible part- our hair
, Page 4 of 132
Root .....ANSWER.....The root is what is in the scalp and locked
into place by the bulb matrix.
Bulb matrix .....ANSWER.....The bulb matrix is where growth
occurs, which is cyclical
The different types of hair .....ANSWER.....vellus and terminal
vellus .....ANSWER.....The vellus type is what covers most of our
bodies. It is soft, fine, and thin
Terminal .....ANSWER.....Terminal hair is thick and as it grows
becomes the visible noticed hair.
coarse, thick (scalp, eyebrows, axilla, pubis, face, & chest)
Hair follicle .....ANSWER.....Within the hair follicle, there is a
protective substance released by the sebaceous glands. This
substance protects the skin from becoming too dry. They are
abundant- the only places they do not exist are the soles of the
feet and palms of hands (no hair there).
