◉ Trichology. Answer: Scientific study of hair and its diseases and
care.
◉ Best type of skin for hair removal. Answer: Moist skin
◉ Layers of the skin. Answer: epidermis, dermis, subdermis
◉ layers of epidermis. Answer: stratum corneum
stratum lucidum
stratum granulosum
stratum spinosum
stratum germinitivum (basale)
◉ Horny zone. Answer: Stratum corneum, stratum lucidum & stratum
granulosm
◉ Stratum Corneum. Answer: outmost layer, constantly sheds
,◉ T/F: stratum corneum produced in the edge of the nail plate forms a
cuticle to seal the junction of the distal nail bed and nail plate.
Answer: True
◉ Stratum Lucidum. Answer: contains eliding, clear layer - allows
light to pass through, only present on soles and palms (responsible for
fingerprints)
◉ Stratum Granulosum. Answer: granular layer, cells filled with
keratin (callouses), thickness varies
◉ Stratum Spinosum. Answer: prickly layer, Langerhan cells are
located her, shedding begins here
◉ Langerhans cells. Answer: in stratum spinosum, fight infection
◉ Stratum Germinitivum. Answer: mitosis (cell division) occurs here,
contains: melanocytes, Merkle cells, stratum mucosum (malpighian
layer)
◉ stratum mucosum (malpighian layer). Answer: Where melanin is
actually produced
◉ Merkle cells. Answer: light touch, found in Stratum Germinitivum
,◉ Melanocytes. Answer: Protects the skin from UV rays and sun
damages
◉ Dermal epidermal junction (DEJ). Answer: Connects the dermis to
the epidermis
◉ Nikolsky's sign. Answer: separation of the epidermis to dermis
◉ Layers of the Dermis. Answer: papillary layer and reticular layer
◉ papillary layer. Answer: collagenous and reticular fibers, coned
shaped fibers that interlock that epidermis and dermis together,
contain Meissner cells
◉ Meissner's corpuscles. Answer: touch receptors
◉ Reticular layer. Answer: dense bundles of collagen and elastin
fibers, contains Pacinian corpuscles
◉ Pacinian corpuscles. Answer: deep pressure in the reticular layer
◉ Subdermis. Answer: Contains adipose tissue (fat), protective
cushion for the other layers
, ◉ adipose tissue (fat). Answer: gives the body its smoothness and
contour
