This is the top layer of the epidermis
What is the stratum corneum?
100
This gland helps keep us cool in the summer
What is a sweat gland?
100
This is called our fifth sense
What is sense of touch
100
This type of burn occurs regularly after being under the sun for prolonged periods
What is a superficial burn? (first degree)
100
This tissue type makes up the epidermis
What are epithelial cells
200
This is the second layer of the skin
What is the dermis?
200
This section of dead, keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium acts to protect against friction, as a fluid barrier and is constantly replaced
What is the stratum corneum?
200
If a blister is seen then a burn will be this degree
What is second degree?
200
These burns are always classified as critical
What are burns to the hands, feet, genitalia, or circumferential burns?
200
The subcutaneous layer helps insulate the body with these cells
What are adipocytes?
300
This layer of the skin helps insulate the body
What is the subcutaneous layer (hypodermis)?
300
This sensory receptor allows you to feel light touch across your skin
What are Meissner or Merkel cells?
300
These cells create a spectrum of skin coloration
What are melanocytes?
300
These type of burns are often pain-free
What are deep partial thickness (deep 2nd) or full thickness (3rd) burns?
300
This type of tissue type helps support the epidermis
What is connective tissue?
400
This layer of the epidermis is only found in thick skin
What is the stratum lucidum?
400
The sebaceous gland releases this substance to help keep hair lubricated and healthy
What is sebum?
400
These are in use when deep pressure is applied
What is are Pacinian Corpuscles?
400
This function of skin is disrupted when deep partial or full thickness (deep 2nd or 3rd) occur
What is fluid retention, thermal regulation, sensation or protection?
400
This tissue type helps send signals to the spinal cord
What is nervous tissue
500
These receptors keep you safe in the face of danger
What are nociceptors? (what are free nerve endings?)
500
Mechanoreceptors are connected to the spinal cord via these BIG, FAST nerve fibers
What are A-Beta fibers?
500
This is the term used when determining objects by touch only (no peeking)
What is stereognosis?
500
Daily Double: The burn in this picture would be classified as this degree
What is second degree (deep partial thickness)?
500
This fiber type makes up the lower portion of the dermal layer
What are reticular fibers?
