Study Notes
Skin and Its Structure
- The superficial part of the skin is called the epidermis.
- The skin's appendages include hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and nails.
- The part of the skin that contains numerous blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves is the dermis.
- Subcutaneous tissue (or hypodermis) unites the dermis to the underlying deep fascia.
Muscle Types
- Skeletal muscle is often referred to as voluntary muscle because it is controlled consciously.
- The three types of muscle include skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle.
- Skeletal muscles produce movements by contracting in response to nervous system signals.
Specialized Skin Areas
- The skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet is notably thick due to the presence of a thick epidermis, providing resistance to abrasion.
