INTEGUMENTARY
This is the deepest layer of the epidermis where cells constantly divide and melanocytes are found.
stratum basale
These sweat glands are mainly responsible for cooling the body through evaporation and are found in places like the palms, soles, and forehead.
eccrine (merocrine) sweat glands
This type of joint is held together by collagenous fibers and includes sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses.
fibrous joints
This joint is located between the first metacarpal of the thumb and a carpal bone, allowing for a unique range of motion.
saddle joint
This movement involves moving the foot downward at the ankle, like when pointing your toes down.
plantar flexion
This is the outermost layer of the epidermis, composed of dead, keratinized cells.
stratum corneum
This type of burn involves only the epidermis and causes redness, slight edema, and pain, such as a mild sunburn.
first-degree burn
These joints are held together by cartilage and include synchondroses and symphyses
Cartilaginous joints
This is the most flexible synovial joint, allowing movement in almost every direction, and is found in the shoulder and hip.
ball-and-socket joint
This occurs when the sole of your foot turns outward, such as when you twist your foot outward.
eversion
This layer of the dermis is composed of areolar connective tissue and contains small blood vessels and tactile corpuscles.
papillary layer
This condition, characterized by a yellow tint to the skin, is often a sign of high bilirubin levels.
jaundice
This type of joint is enclosed by a synovial capsule and includes plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, and ball-and-socket joints.
synovial joints
The largest and most complex diarthrotic joint in the body, found between the femur, tibia, fibula, and patella.
knee joint
This action lowers a body part, like lowering your shoulders back down.
depression
The deeper layer of the dermis that consists of dense irregular connective tissue and houses structures like hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
reticular layer
The most severe type of burn, involving all layers of the skin and deeper tissues, often requiring skin grafts.
third-degree burn
This synovial joint allows for gliding movement and is found between the carpal bones of the wrist.
plane joint
This ligament crosses in front of the knee joint and is critical for stabilizing the anterior portion of the tibia.
anterior cruciate ligament
This action raises a body part, like shrugging your shoulders upward.
elevation
These glands produce a milky sweat and are active after puberty, located in areas like the groin and axilla.
apocrine sweat glands
This condition causes a bluish hue to the skin due to a lack of oxygen in the blood.
cyanosis
This synovial joint is found at the elbow and allows for flexion and extension.
hinge joint
This movement involves moving the foot upward at the ankle, like when you lift the top of your foot toward the shin.
dorsiflexion
This movement occurs when the palm of the hand rotates downward or backward.
pronation
