  6. 18. Membrane (Skin) The skin; composed of epidermal and dermal layers
  7. 19. Corpuscle They are nerve endings in the skin responsible for sensitivity to vibration and pressure
  8. 21. Ulcers Injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skinCyanosis A bluish coloration of the mucous membranes and skin caused by deficient oxygenation of the blood
  9. 23. Cell Carcinoma A type of skin cancer that begins in the basal cells
  10. 25. A condition in which skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches
  11. 27. A skin condition that causes scaly patches and red skin, mainly on the scalp
  12. 30. System The skin and its accessory organs
  13. 33. The deep layer of the skin; composed of dense, irregular connective tissue
  14. 34. A solid swelling of clotted blood within the tissues
  15. 38. Dendritic Cells Cells of the skin and mucosa, and contain large organelles, they are present in all layers of the epidermis except the stratum corneum, which protects against infections, and are most prominent in the stratum spinosum.
  16. 42. Gland The glands that produce a saline solution called sweat; also called sudoriferous glands
  17. 44. Appendage The more common skin appendages are hairs, arrector pilli, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands
  18. 45. Gland The less numerous type of sweat gland, its secretions contain water, salts, fatty acids, and proteins

  20. 47. Inflammatory disease of the skin; infection of the sebaceous glands
  21. 48. Gland Regulates body temperature
  22. 49. tissue/hypodermis Beneath the skin
  23. 50. Superficial reddening of the skin, usually in patches, as a result of injury or irritation causing dilatation of the blood capillaries
  24. 51. The dark pigment synthesized by melanocytes; responsible for skin color
  25. 52. Fluid Clear, watery fluid secreted by the cells of a serous membrane
  26. 53. The serous membrane lining the interior of the abdominal cavity and covering the surfaces of the abdominal organs
  27. 55. Burn A severe burn characterized by destruction of the skin through the depth of the dermis and possibly into underlying tissues
  28. 56. Membrane One of the primary tissues; covers the surface of the body and lines the body cavities, ducts, and vessels

  30. 58. Sores Infection with the herpes simplex virus around the border of the lips
  31. 59. Gland Glands that empty their sebum secretion into hair follicles
Down
  1. 1. The oily secretion of sebaceous glands
  2. 3. The outer layers of the skin; an epithelium
  3. 4. Follicle A small secretory cavity, sac, or gland
  4. 5. Rule Asymmetry (one half of the mole doesn't match the other), Border (irregularity), Color(that has changed), Diameter (about the size of a pencil eraser), and Evolving (size, shape or color)
  5. 7. The serous membrane covering the lungs and lining the thoracic cavity
  6. 8. Papillae At the surface of the skin in hands and feet, blood vessels nourish hair follicles and bring nutrients and oxygen to the lower layers of epidermal cells
  7. 11. Layer The lower layer of the dermis, found under the papillary dermis, composed of dense irregular connective tissue featuring densely packed collagen fibers and the primary location of dermal elastic fibers
  8. 12. A tough, insoluble protein found in tissues such as hair, nails, and epidermis of the skin
  9. 13. (Hair) Located between the hair cuticle and medulla and is the thickest hair layer, contains most of the hair's pigment, giving the hair its color, and the pigment in the cortex is melanin, which is also found in skin
  10. 15. Stratum corneum covering the upper surface of the tip of the finger and toe
  11. 16. Pus-filled bumps that form under your skin when bacteria infect and inflame one or more of your hair follicles

  15. 24. Pili Muscle The circular, pigmented area surrounding the nipple
  16. 26. Any of the fine threadlike strands growing from the skin of humans, mammals, and some other animals
  17. 27. Burn Affect both the outer and underlying layer of skin
  18. 28. The membranous sac enveloping the heart
  19. 29. Membrane Membrane that lines the fibrous capsule of a synovial joint
  20. 31. (Hair) The outermost part of the hair shaft, formed from dead cells, overlapping in layers, which form scales that gives the hair shaft strength and provide protection for it
