A thin layer of the epidermis composed of flattened cells undergoing keratinization.

The process where skin cells accumulate keratin and other substances to form a protective barrier.

Granules that accumulate in cells during keratinization, aiding in keratin fiber formation.

Water-resistant glycolipid accumulated by cells, slowing water loss from skin.

A clear layer of the epidermis present in thick skin, consisting of dead, flat keratinocytes.

The outermost layer of the epidermis, made up of dead, flattened keratinized cells.

Controlled cell death leading to the shedding of dead skin cells as dandruff and dander.

The process where humans lose around 50,000 skin cells per minute.

Silvery white scars caused by extreme skin stretching.

Fluid-filled pockets that separate skin layers due to trauma.

A pigment made in skin by melanocytes that determines skin color.

An enzyme crucial for the production of melanin from tyrosine.

A yellow-orange pigment that can convert to vitamin A.

A protein in red blood cells that gives skin its pinkish hue.

Increased skin reaction to sunlight due to certain drugs or conditions.

Excessive sunlight harms skin, potentially leading to cancer.

Blue skin color indicating low oxygenation of hemoglobin.

Pale skin color; can indicate anemia or fear.

Redness of the skin caused by fever or inflammation.

Yellow skin cast indicating liver disorders.

Black-and-blue marks from clotted blood beneath the skin.

Hair consists of dead keratinized cells, not found on certain body parts.

Hair shaft includes medulla, cortex, and cuticle.

Hair follicles produce hair and support keratinization.

A condition where normal physiological balance is disrupted, often leading to multiple organ failure.

Unnoticeable sweat produced by sweat glands under normal conditions, about 500 ml/day.

Noticeable sweat produced when body temperature rises, can be up to 12 liters (3 gallons).

Sensory receptors that respond to external stimuli like temperature and touch.

Nerve endings that sense pain and other stimuli, part of the nervous system.

A dangerous skin cancer originating from melanocytes, highly metastatic and resistant to treatment.

A guide for early detection of melanoma: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter.

One side of a pigmented area does not match the other in shape or color.

Borders of the mole are uneven or have indentations.

Mole has multiple colors; could be black, brown, tan, red, or blue.

Mole larger than 6 mm, about the size of a pencil eraser, raises concerns.

A method to estimate burn coverage; the body is divided into sections, each representing 9% except genitalia at 1%.

Burns are classified into three categories: First-degree, Second-degree, and Third-degree, based on skin damage depth.

Delicate hairs covering the fetus in the 5th and 6th month of pregnancy.

A protective secretion from sebaceous glands that covers and protects the fetus's skin in amniotic fluid.

Skin becomes thinner, drier, and more prone to itching and wrinkles due to decreased fat and elasticity.

The secretion process increases from infancy to adulthood, which can lead to acne.

Practices like UV protection, good nutrition, hydration, and hygiene can slow skin aging.
