Integumentory system
Across
- 4. collagen-rich skin formed after the process of wound healing that is different from normal skin
- 6. 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
- 8. nail fold that meets the proximal end of the nail body, also called the cuticle
- 9. cancer that originates from basal cells in the epidermis of the skin
- 11. transitional phase marking the end of the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle
- 12. cell found in the stratum Basale of the epidermis that produces the pigment melanin
- 13. in hair, the outermost layer of keratinocytes originating from the hair matrix, as seen in a cross-section of the hair bulb
- 15. thickened area of skin that arises due to constant abrasion
- 19. superficial layer of the dermis, made of loose, areolar connective tissue
- 21. in hair, the second or middle layer of keratinocytes originating from the hair matrix, as seen in a cross-section of the hair bulb
- 23. pigment that determines the color of hair and skin
- 25. deepest layer of the epidermis, made of epidermal stem cells
- 26. in hair, the innermost layer of keratinocytes originating from the hair matrix
- 29. skin condition due to an allergic reaction, which resembles a rash
- 30. type of callus that is named for its shape and the elliptical motion of the abrasive force
Down
- 1. cell that produces keratin and is the most predominant type of cell found in the epidermis
- 2. connective tissue connecting the integument to the underlying bone and muscle
- 3. most superficial layer of the epidermis
- 5. basal part of the nail body that consists of a crescent-shaped layer of thick epithelium
- 7. resting phase of the hair growth cycle initiated with catagen and terminated by the beginning of a new anagen phase of hair growth
- 10. pili smooth muscle that is activated in response to external stimuli that pull on hair follicles and make the hair “stand up”
- 12. intercellular vesicle that transfers melanin from melanocytes into keratinocytes of the epidermis
- 14. outermost tissue layer of the skin
- 16. sweat gland type of sweat gland that is associated with hair follicles in the armpits and genital regions
- 17. genetic disorder that affects the skin, in which there is no melanin production
- 18. keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis
- 20. oily substance that is composed of a mixture of lipids that lubricates the skin and hair
- 22. type of structural protein that gives skin, hair, and nails its hard, water-resistant properties
- 24. active phase of the hair growth cycle
- 27. layer of skin between the epidermis and hypodermis, composed mainly of connective tissue and containing blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, and other structures
- 28. skin condition due to infected sebaceous glands
