  3. 6. outer layer of skin built to protect
  4. 9. Specialized cells located in the stratum basale that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color and UV radiation protection.
  5. 12. Cells in the dermis that produce structural proteins like collagen and elastin
  6. 15. - A skin condition marked by a temporary lack of water in the skin, which can cause flakiness and fine lines even in oily skin types.
  7. 16. Cells, Dendritic, tissue-resident macrophages in the epidermis that capture antigens and initiate immune responses.

  1. 1. - A medical and cosmetology term for dry, scaly skin resulting from a deficiency or lack of sebum (skin oil).
  2. 3. Cells, Oval receptor cells in the stratum basale intimately associated with sensory nerve endings, responsible for light touch sensation.Arrector pili, Tiny muscles attached to hair follicles that cause hair to stand up
  3. 4. innermost layer of skin contains fat blood and nerve endings
  4. 7. Layer, The upper, superficial layer of the dermis composed of loose connective tissue, characterized by finger-like projections called dermal papillae that interlock with the epidermis.
  5. 8. The predominant cell type in the epidermis that synthesizes keratin, a tough, fibrous protein providing structural integrity.
  6. 10. glands, Oil glands connected to hair follicles that secrete sebum.
  7. 11. dark pigment gives skin the color
  8. 13. Layer, The deeper, thicker layer of the dermis dense with irregular connective tissue, housing dense networks of colagen and elastin fibers. Fibroblasts: The primary cells of the dermis responsible for synthesizing collagen, elastin, and the extracellular matrix.
  9. 14. Corneum, The outermost, resilient layer of the epidermis consisting of dead, flattened keratinocytes (corneocytes) that provide a barrier against pathogens and dehydration.
  10. 19. An oily substance that lubricates and waterproofs the skin and hair.
