What are Corrugations?
Ans: Wavy ridges caused by uneven nail growth; usually result of illness or
injury.
(No impact) (Treatment: Buff over nails, keep hydrated with oil.)
What is the definition of Anatomy?
Ans: The study of body structure
What is the stratum germinativum (stratum basale)?
Ans: -deepest live layer of the epidermis
-produces new epidermal skin cells (mitosis)
- Moisture content approximately 83%
,2 | Page
What is the stratum corneum?
Ans: 1st layer of epidermis (outermost)
What forms Chemicals?
Ans: atoms combine to form molecules
What are Furrows (corrugations)?
Ans: Deep horizontal ridges in the plate. Caused by illness trauma or
malnutrition. No treatment required. (Non impact)
What is the definition Physiology?
Ans: The study of body function
What is the Stratum Spinosum (Prickly Layer)
,3 | Page
Ans: -Several cell layers thick
-cells contain a weblike system of intermediate prekeratin filaments
attached to desmosomes.
-Keratinocytes appear to have spines and are scattered among
abundant melanin granules and Langerhans' cells.
(4th deepest layer of epidermis)
What is the stratum lucidum?
Ans: 2nd layer of epidermis (not always there)
What do molecules combine to form?
Ans: Combine to form cells
What is the stratum granulosum (granular layer)?
, 4 | Page
Ans: -thin; three to five cell layers in which cells flatten
-keratohyaline and lamellated granules accumulate
- Moisture content is approximately 9-16% in this layer
-Cells die as no longer receiving nourishment
(3 middle layer of epidermis)
where is the stratum granulosum Found?
Ans: 3rd layer of the epidermis
Describe Leukonychia
Ans: Also known as white spots, whitish discoloration of the nails caused
by tiny bubbles of air caused by injury. (Non impact) (Will grow out over
time.)
What is the integumentary system?
Ans: Consists of the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nail
