1. skin the body's largest organ- part of the integumentary system 50-70% water
2. THREE layers of epidermis, dermis, hypodermis (subcutaneous)
the skin
3. epidermis - outer most layer of the skin
- body's first line of defense
- responsible for cell renewal
4. epithelial tissue found in the epidermis- covers and protects the body surfaces and internal organs
5. FIVE layers of epi- stratum corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, basale
dermis (top to
bottom)
6. stratum outermost layer of the epidermis, which consists of flattened, keratinized cells and
corneum (horny ceramides
layer) toughest layer of epidermis
7. stratum disjunc- part of the stratum corneum- part of the skin that is exfoliated
tum
8. stratum lucidum found in the thick skin of the fingers, palms, and soles
9. stratum granulo- forms a waterproof barrier to prevent fluid loss from the body- full of keratin
sum
10. stratum spin- provides strength and flexibility to the skin
osum
11. stratum basale cell mitosis takes place (cells undergo rapid cell division)
(germinativum) contains melanocytes

keratinocytes the most abundant epidermal cells, they function mainly to produce keratin
(epidermal cells) (protein that strengthens skin)
13. keratinization process in which cells dry out, change their shape and form keratin protein
14. langerhan cells made in bone marrow to prevent infection and protect immune system
(epidermal cells)
15. melanocytes found in stratum basale- produce melanin (pigment that determines skin color)
(epidermal cells)
16. squamous cells flat cells with selective diffusion allowing certain things to pass through the skin
(epidermal cells)
17. transdermal pen- process that allows some molecules to pass through the skin
etration
18. basal cells (epi- found in the stratum germinativum- produce new cells and push older ones to
dermal cells) surface of skin
19. 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/nutri-
ents it needs to be healthy
20. papillary layer top layer of dermis- contains connective tissues that supply nutrients to epidermis
21. reticular layer bottom layer of dermis- provides stucture and elasticity to the skin

22. collagen/elastin responsible for shape, structure, firmness and elasticity
(dermis)
23. hypodermis - made of subcutaneous fats, connective tissues, blood vessels and nerve cells
(subcutaneous - fat is deposited and stored to protect internal organs
layer)
24. adipocytes (hy- store fat used for energy, cushioning, insulation
podermal)
25. corneocyte dead protein cell that is dried out and lacks a nuclei
26. arrector pilli involuntary muscle that creates chills and causes hair to stand
27. healthy skin tem- 98.6
perature
28. acid mantle thin protective mixture of oil and sweat that protects the skin
29. fibroblast cell in connective tissues that forms collagen fibers
30. non-pathogenic non-disease producing bacteria (microbe)
70% of bacteria are harmless
31. pathogenic disease causing bacteria (microbe)
32. 3 basic types of bacilli-rod
pathogenic bac- cocci-round
teria and their spirilla-spiral
shape
33. parasite lives on or in a host and obtains its nutrients/protection
34. bacteria that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen
