Across
  1. 4. cell found in the stratum basale of the epidermis that produces the pigment melanin
  2. 5. genetic disorder that affects the skin, in which there is no melanin production
  3. 8. skin and its accessory structures
  4. 10. deeper layer of the dermis; it has a reticulated appearance due to the presence of abundant collagen and elastin fibers
  5. 12. sweat gland
  6. 13. superficial layer of the dermis, made of loose, areolar connective tissue
  7. 16. type of skin cancer that originates from the stratum spinosum of the epidermis
  8. 17. type of skin cancer that originates from the melanocytes of the skin
  9. 18. partial-thickness burn that injures the epidermis and a portion of the dermis
  10. 21. collagen rich skin formed after the process of wound healing that is different from normal skin
  11. 22. skin condition due to an allergic reaction, which resembles a rash
  12. 23. fibers made of the protein elastin that increase the elasticity of the dermis
  13. 26. type of oil gland found in the dermis all over the body and helps to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair by secreting sebum
  14. 27. burn in which full thickness of the skin and underlying muscle and bone is damaged
  15. 28. basal part of the nail body that consists of a crescent-shaped layer of thick epithelium
  16. 29. connective tissue connecting the integument to the underlying bone and muscle
  17. 31. keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis
  18. 32. type of structural protein that gives skin, hair, and nails its hard, water-resistant properties
  19. 34. superficial burn that injures only the epidermis
  20. 36. cavity or sac from which hair originates
  21. 37. in hair, the innermost layer of keratinocytes originating from the hair matrix
  22. 39. mark formed on the skin due to a sudden growth spurt and expansion of the dermis beyond its elastic limits
  23. 42. outermost tissue layer of the skin
  24. 43. compound that aids absorption of calcium and phosphates in the intestine to improve bone health
  25. 45. receptor in the skin that responds to light touch
  26. 47. layer of basal cells from which a strand of hair grows
  27. 48. receptor cell in the stratum basale of the epidermis that responds to the sense of touch
  28. 49. skin condition due to infected sebaceous glands
  29. 50. type of scar that has layers raised above the skin surface
Down
  1. 1. corpuscle receptor in the skin that responds to vibration
  2. 2. skin condition in which melanocytes in certain areas lose the ability to produce melanin, possibly due an autoimmune reaction that leads to loss of color in patches
  3. 3. thickened layer of stratum corneum that lies below the free edge of the nail
  4. 6. layer of the epidermis superficial to the stratum spinosum
  5. 7. layer of the epidermis between the stratum granulosum and stratum corneum, found only in thick skin covering the palms, soles of the feet, and digits
  6. 9. layer of the epidermis superficial to the stratum basale
  7. 11. deepest layer of the epidermis, made of epidermal stem cells
  8. 14. type of stem cell found in the stratum basale and in the hair matrix that continually undergoes cell division, producing the keratinocytes of the epidermis
  9. 15. layer of epidermis upon which the nail body forms
  10. 18. most superficial layer of the epidermis
  11. 19. smooth muscle that pulls on hair follicles and make the hair “stand up”
  12. 20. intercellular vesicle that transfers melanin from melanocytes into keratinocytes of the epidermis
  13. 24. oily substance that is composed of a mixture of lipids that lubricates the skin and hair
  14. 25. cell that produces keratin and is the most predominant type of cell found in the epidermis
  15. 30. type of sweat gland that is common throughout the skin surface; it produces a hypotonic sweat for thermoregulation
  16. 33. disease in children caused by vitamin D deficiency, which leads to the weakening of bones
  17. 35. nail fold that meets the proximal end of the nail body, also called the cuticle
  18. 38. layer of skin between the epidermis and hypodermis, composed mainly of connective tissue and containing blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, and other structures
  19. 40. type of sweat gland that is associated with hair follicles in the armpits and genital regions
  20. 41. burn that penetrates and destroys the full thickness of the skin (epidermis and dermis)
  21. 44. extension of the papillary layer of the dermis that increases surface contact between the epidermis and dermis
  22. 46. thickened area of skin that arises due to constant abrasion
  23. 48. pigment that determines the color of hair and skin
