A layer of skin found only in thick, hairless areas like palms and soles.

The outermost layer of the epidermis with dead, keratin-filled cells.

A pigment produced by melanocytes that gives color to skin.

Cells that alert immune response to bacterial or viral threats.

Cells that function as touch receptors in association with nerve endings.

Upper region of the dermis made of areolar connective tissue.

The deepest skin layer composed of dense irregular connective tissue.

Projections in the papillary layer that enhance grip and contain receptors.

The dermis consists of two main layers that support skin structure.

Three pigments: melanin, carotene, hemoglobin, determine skin color.

Redness of the skin caused by embarrassment, inflammation, or fever.

Oil glands producing sebum to keep skin soft and moist, activated by androgens.

Also known as sudoriferous glands, they produce sweat to regulate temperature.

A type of sweat gland that is widely distributed and helps in temperature regulation.

Receptors in the skin that allow sensation of touch, temperature, and pain.

Refers to the roles the skin plays such as protection and temperature regulation.

The skin acts as a barrier against bumps; keratin toughens cells and fat cushions impacts.

The skin's keratinized cells prevent acids and bases from penetrating deeper.

The skin inhibits microbes through its acidic secretions and unbroken surface.

Melanin produced by melanocytes protects skin from harmful UV rays.

Skin contains receptors for heat and cold, protecting from temperature extremes.

Skin helps regulate body temperature by activating sweat glands and adjusting blood flow.

The skin excretes urea, salts, and water through sweat.

Sweat glands that empty into hair follicles, starting at puberty.

They produce acidic sweat for body temperature regulation.

Contains water, salts, vitamin C, and metabolic waste.

Release sweat with fatty acids and proteins, contributing minimally to temperature regulation.

Structure where hair grows, enclosing the hair root.

Hair consists of a central medulla, cortex, and outer cuticle.

Cells that provide pigment for hair color.

Cover body surfaces, line cavities, and protect organs.

Membranes that consist of epithelial and connective tissue layers.

Includes cutaneous, mucous, and serous membranes.

The outer skin; a dry membrane providing protection.

Outermost layer of the skin made of keratinized cells.

Moist membranes lining cavities that open to the outside.

Some mucosae secrete lubricating mucus for protection.

Loose connective tissue that supports epithelial layers in mucosae.

A small muscle connected to hair follicles that pulls hairs upright during cold or fright.

Heavily keratinized, scalelike modifications of the epidermis with growth from the nail matrix.

The deepest layer of the epidermis that extends beneath the nail bed and is responsible for nail growth.

The part of the nail that extends beyond the fingertip and is not attached to the nail bed.

Blisters caused by human herpesvirus 1, characterized by itching and stinging.

A fungal infection (Tinea pedis) causing itchy, red peeling skin between the toes.

Clusters of boils caused by inflammation of hair follicles, often bacterial in origin.
