Histology and Integument Quizs

Stratum Corneum

• Outer layer of dead, keratinized cells

• Inner layer of living cells

• Layer responsible for skin pigmentation

• Layer that produces sweat

a-

• with

• not, without

• against

• before

Bone (Osseous Tissue)

• Soft tissue with high water content; aids in movement

• Hard tissue with calcium salts; supports and protects

• Flexible tissue that connects muscles to bones

• Cartilaginous tissue that cushions joints

Apocrine Sweat Gland

• Produces thinner sweat all over the body; activates at birth

• Produces thicker sweat in armpits and groin; activates at puberty

• Produces sweat that is odorless and clear; activates during exercise

• Produces sweat that is primarily for thermoregulation; activates in response to heat

Blood

• Fluid connective tissue that transports oxygen, nutrients, and wastes

• A type of muscle tissue responsible for movement

• A type of epithelial tissue that covers body surfaces

• A type of nervous tissue that transmits signals

Basal Surface

• The top surface of epithelial tissue

• The bottom surface attached to the basement membrane

• The surface exposed to the external environment

• The surface that faces the lumen of a cavity

therm-

• heat, temperature

• cold, ice

• light, brightness

• sound, noise

Dense Regular Tissue

• Collagen fibers in one direction; found in tendons and ligaments

• Collagen fibers in multiple directions; found in skin

• Elastic fibers in one direction; found in arteries

• Loose fibers in various directions; found in organs

Hypodermis

• Deepest layer made of adipose and loose connective tissue

• Outer layer of skin composed of dead cells

• Layer responsible for producing melanin

• Layer that contains hair follicles and sweat glands

Elastic Connective Tissue

• Contains collagen fibers; provides strength in tendons

• Contains elastic fibers; allows stretching in arteries and lungs

• Contains reticular fibers; supports soft tissues

• Contains adipose cells; stores energy in fat
