Down: 1) Type of skin marking. Epidermal ridges lie atop deeper papillary ridges to form friction of fingerprints.2) Most superficial layer; 20-30 layers of dead cells, essentially flat membranous sacs filled with keratin. 4) Widely distributed, most develop from hair follicles, become active at puberty, sebum: oily holocrine secretion, bactericidal, softens hair and skin.5) the two sides of the pigmented area do not match7) Typically five layers of flattened cells, organelles deteriorating8) yellow to reddish-brown to black, responsible for dark skin colors. Produced in melanocytes, migrates to keratinocytes where it forms "pigment shields" for nuclei.10) Yellow to orange, most obvious in the palms and soles13) Layer in dermis. Areolar connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers and blood vessels. Dermal papillae contain: capillary loops, Meissner's corpuscles, free nerve endings. 15) Strong, flexible connective tissues. Cells include fibroblasts, macrophages, and occasionally mast cells and white blood cells. Has two layers: 1. papillary 2. reticular20) Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium Across: 3) Produce keratin; the fibrous protein that helps give the epidermis its protective properties. Most epidermal cells are keratinocytes.6) Layer is dermis. Dense irregular connective tissue proper. Around 80% of the thickness of dermis. Collagen fibers provide strength and resiliency. Elastic fibers provide stretch-recoil properties.9) specialized sweat glands that secrete milk10) is black, brown, tan, and sometimes red or blue11) Several layers of keratinocytes unified by desmosomes. Cells contain thick bundles of intermediate filament made of prekeratin.12) Nitrogenous wastes and salt in sweat14) Confined to axillary and anogenital areas.16) responsible for the pinkish hue of skin17) in external ear canal18) Type of skin marking. Collagen fibers arranges in bundles form cleavage (tension) lines. Incisions made parallel to cleavage lines heal more readily.19) Areolar connective tissue modified to store nutrients; a connective tissue consisting chiefly of fat cells.21) Visible only in thick skin, is a thin translucent band just above the stratum granulation.22) exhibits indentations23) Deepest epidermal layer; one row of actively mitotic stem cells; some newly formed cells become part of the more superficial layers.24) is larger than 6 mm 25) Subcutaneous layer. Composed of adipose and areolar connective tissue proper which is loose. Blood and nerve supply.
