Review Sheet 3

This document provides a review sheet for a Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory class focusing on the integumentary (skin) system. It includes questions testing knowledge of the basic tissues of the skin, protective functions, layers of the epidermis, skin structures, sensory receptors, skin appendages like hair and nails, temperature regulation, and eccrine sweat glands. Students are asked to define terms, label diagrams, and answer short questions drawing from their understanding of skin anatomy and physiology.

REVIEW SHEET 3: THE SKIN (INTEGUMENTARY) SYSTEM

Name: Course & Yr: Date: Score:

1. Complete the following statements by writing the appropriate word or phrase on the correspondingly numbered blank:
The two basic tissues of which the skin is composed are dense connective tissue, which makes up the dermis, and 1 ,
which forms the epidermis. Most cells of the epidermis are 2 . The protein 3 makes the dermis tough and able to
retain water. The specialized cells that produce the pigments that contribute to skin color are called 4 .
1.
2.
3.
4.
2. Name four protective functions of the skin:
1.
2.
3.
4.
3. Using the key choices, choose all responses that apply to the following descriptions. (Some choices may be used
more than once.)
Key: stratum basale stratum lucidum reticular layer
stratum corneum stratum spinosum epidermis (as a whole)
stratum granulosum papillary layer dermis (as a whole)
1. layer containing sacs filled with fatty material or keratin subunits
2. dead cells
3. the more superficial dermis layer
4. avascular region
5. major skin area where derivatives (nails and hair) are located
6. epidermal region exhibiting the most mitoses
7. most superficial epidermal layer
8. has abundant elastic and collagenic fibers
9. region where melanocytes are most likely to be found
10. accounts for most of the epidermis
4. Label the skin structures and areas indicated in the accompanying diagram of skin.
5. What substance is manufactured in the skin (but is not a secretion) to play a role in calcium absorption elsewhere in
the body?

6. How did the results you obtained in Activity 2, “Visualizing Changes in Skin Color Due to Continuous External
Pressure,” relate to formation of decubitus ulcers? (Use your textbook if necessary.)

7. Some injections hurt more than others. Based on what you have learned about skin structure, can you determine why
this is so?

8. Two questions regarding general sensation are posed below. Answer each by placing your response in the
appropriately numbered blanks.

1–2. Which two body areas tested were most sensitive to touch?
1.
2.

3–4. Which two body areas tested were the least sensitive to touch?
3.
4.

9. Define adaptation of sensory receptors:

10. Why is it advantageous to have pain receptors that are sensitive to all vigorous stimuli, whether heat, cold, or
pressure?

Pain receptors do not adapt. Why is this important?

11. Imagine yourself without any cutaneous sense organs. Why might this be very dangerous?

Appendages of the Skin


12. Using the key choices, respond to the following descriptions. (Some choices may be used more than once.)
Key: arrector pili muscle hair follicle sweat gland—apocrine
cutaneous receptors nail sweat gland—eccrine
hair sebaceous glands
1. acne is an infection of this
2. structure that houses a hair
3. more numerous variety of perspiration gland that produces a secretion containing water,
salts, and vitamin C; activated by rise in temperature
4. sheath formed of both epithelial and connective tissues
5. type of perspiration-producing gland that produces a secretion containing proteins and
fats in addition to water and salts
6. found everywhere on body except palms of hands and soles of feet
7. primarily dead/keratinized cells
8. specialized nerve endings that respond to temperature, touch, etc.
9. its secretion contains cell fragments
10. “sports” a lunule and a cuticle
13. How does the skin help to regulate body temperature? (Describe two different mechanisms.)

14. Several structures or skin regions are lettered in the photomicrograph below. Identify each by matching its letter with
the appropriate term that follows.

Plotting the Distribution of Sweat Glands


15. With what substance in the bond paper does the iodine painted on the skin react?

16. Which skin area—the forearm or palm of hand—has more sweat glands?

Which other body areas would, if tested, prove to have a high density of sweat glands?

17. What organ system controls the activity of the eccrine sweat glands?
