Across
- 4. Deep to the dermis and is essentially adipose tissue
- 6. Connected to the hairs in the skin and are pulled by this to create goosebumbs
- 7. A type of mechanorceptor. They are a type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensing light touches
- 11. Uppermost layer of skin full of this specific thing that is cornified or hardened to prevent water loss
- 12. Layer of the epidermis between the corneum and granulosum layer and is only present in the hands and feet
- 14. Completely sloughed off every 21 days and replaced by the layers beneath it
- 16. The most numerous sudoriferous glands that are all over the body
- 17. Outer layer and made up of stratified squamous epithelium and is hard and is capable of becoming hard and tough
Down
- 1. These are sweat glands that are widely distributed in the skin
- 2. One of the four major types of mechanorceptor. They are a nerve ending the skin responsible for sensing vibration and pressure
- 3. Layer of the epidermis whee the cells are still alive and multiplying
- 5. Produced by melanocytes and offers protection from UV damage
- 8. Upper dermal region which feeds the epidermis with blood vessels, fingerprints, and touch receptors
- 9. Oil glands that are found all over the skin except on the palms of hands and the soles of the feet
- 10. Largely confined to the axillary and genital regions
- 13. Underlying layer and made up of mostly dense connective tissue
- 15. Deepest layer of skin and contains connective tissue fibers, blood vessels, sweat and oil glands, and deep pressure sensors
