1. skin the body's largest organ- part of the integumentary system 50-70%
water
2. THREE layers of the skin epidermis, dermis, hypodermis (subcutaneous)
3. epidermis - outer most layer of the skin
- body's first line of defense
- responsible for cell renewal
4. FIVE layers of epidermis stratum corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, basale
(top to bottom)
5. stratum corneum outermost layer of the epidermis, which consists of flattened, keratinized
(horny layer) cells and ceramides
6. stratum lucidum found in the thick skin of the fingers, palms, and soles
7. stratum granulosum forms a waterproof barrier to prevent fluid loss from the body- full of
keratin
8. stratum spinosum provides strength and flexibility to the skin
9. stratum basale (germi- cell mitosis takes place (cells undergo rapid cell division)
nativum) contains melanocytes
10. keratinocytes (epider- the most abundant epidermal cells, they function mainly to produce
mal cells) keratin (protein that strengthens skin)
11. langerhan cells (epider- made in bone marrow to prevent infection and protect immune system
mal cells)
12. melanocytes (epider- found in stratum basale- produce melanin (pigment that determines
mal cells) skin color)

squamous cells (epider- flat cells with selective diffusion allowing certain things to pass through
mal cells) the skin
14. basal cells (epidermal found in the stratum germinativum- produce new cells and push older
cells) ones to surface of skin
15. dermis - AKA true skin
- made up of two layers (papillary and reticular dermis)
- houses hair follicles, sweat/oil glands and blood vessels
- contains nerve endings responsible for sending messages to the brain
when you burn your hand on hot stove or have an itch
- produces oil to keep too much water from entering through the skin
when showering, swimming, etc.
- produces sweat to regulate body temp.
- blood vessels in the dermis supply skin with fresh blood carrying
oxygen/nutrients it needs to be healthy
16. collagen/elastin (der- responsible for shape, structure, firmness and elasticity
mis)
17. hypodermis (subcuta- - made of subcutaneous fats, connective tissues, blood vessels and
neous layer) nerve cells
- fat is deposited and stored to protect internal organs
18. adipocytes (hypoder- store fat used for energy, cushioning, insulation
mal)
19. corneocyte dead protein cell that is dried out and lacks a nuclei
20. arrector pilli involuntary muscle that creates chills and causes hair to stand
21. healthy skin tempera- 98.6

22. acid mantle thin protective mixture of oil and sweat that protects the skin
23. fibroblast cell in connective tissues that forms collagen fibers
24. non-pathogenic non-disease producing bacteria (microbe)
25. pathogenic disease causing bacteria (microbe)
26. 3 basic types of patho- bacilli-rod
genic bacteria and their cocci-round
shape spirilla-spiral
27. parasite lives on or in a host and obtains its nutrients/protection
28. anaerobic bacteria bacteria that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen
29. aerobic bacteria bacteria that require oxygen for survival
30. respiratory droplets vs respiratory droplets do not stay in the air as long
airborne
31. antiseptic weaker form of disinfectant to kill or stop growth of microorganisms
32. disinfectant a chemical substance that kills most harmful bacteria or viruses (bacte-
ria, fungi, some viruses, but not spores)
33. sterlization process that completely destroys ALL microbial life
34. EPA must include: contact time, efficacy claims and a registration number
35. dermatitis general term for inflammation of the skin
36. squamous cell carcino- a condition characterized by red or pink scaly papilla or nodules
