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
Anatomy of a False Confession Depending on what study is read, the incidence of false confession is less than 35 per year, up to 600 per year. That is a significant variance in range, but no matter how it is evaluated or what numbers are calculated, the fact remains that false confessions are a reality. Why would an innocent person confess to a crime that she did not commit? Are personal factors, such as age, education, and mental state, the primary reason for a suspect to confess? Are law enforcement
The purpose of this study is to examine the cost effectiveness of mid level providers, such as physician assistants, compared to physicians. In order to thoroughly evaluate the difference in cost one must look at more than one aspect of the physician assistant versus the classic physician. From a purely economic standpoint one needs to address the cost of education, differences in the way patients are treated based on the kind of medicine practiced and the cost of employment between physician assistants
Friends: our novel kinship during medical school. It is said that friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. Well, everybody must have friends don’t they? One is in great affliction if one thinks that one can live by his own. Most of us medical students are studying abroad or quite far from our family. Some of us even went as far as crossing continents and studying in Europe or the Middle East. One cannot help to stop and pause to argue that the next closest to us after our family would

Anatomy & Physiology of the case scenario Having described the scenario, this essay will now focus on the anatomy and physiology during Laura’s third stage. After the delivery of her baby, Laura’s uterus continued to contract and retract due to the effect of oxytocin on the myometrium. Herman (2000) and Herman et al. (2002) describe the placental separation in three stages; latent, contraction/detachment and expulsion. During the latent phase Laura’s myometrium begun to contract and retract. During
Motor movement development has been a topic of controversy for the last century. The feud began in 1906 when Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System. The work summarizes over two decades of research, revealing many fundamentals of neural science for the very first time (Burke, 2007). He was not only the first to suggest that the nervous system was a complex network of separate neurons, coining the term ‘synapse’, but he also was the first to discuss reflex
The objectives of this lab were fulfilled. During the dissection, diagrams of the rat were conducted from several different perspectives including both the dorsal and ventral views. Throughout the dissection, the prior knowledge that was theoretically learned in class, assisted in allowing the group to have a more complete and thorough understanding of the different organs, and parts that were present in the rat. This helped reveal the several different similarities and differences in the circulatory
