It hosts sweat glands and fat and collagen cells, and is responsible for conserving your body’s heat and protecting your vital inner organs. Brings oxygenated blood to the skin tissue Secretes a lubricating oily matter (sebum) into the hair follicles to lubricate the skin and hair. Causes damage to epidermis and much of the dermis (possibly subcutaneous); appears blackened and charred; often numb due to nerve damage. The middle layer of your skin that contains blood vessels, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and most of your nerve receptors. The outerlayer of skin- responsible for protecting you from your environment. It is the thinnest layer, but it produces keratin and melanin. Found in the dermis - gives the skin elasticity & flexibility The sheath of cells and connective tissue which surrounds the root of a hair. Secretes a substance to cool the body down. Attaches to the base of a hair follicle at one end and to dermal tissue on the other end; generates heat when the body is cold by allowing hairs to "stand up" Consists of the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands; Provides, protection, temperature regulation, sensory function, and vitamin D synthesis. Causes damage to epidermis and part of the dermis; results in redness, swelling, pain, and blisters. A protein that forms the pigment in our skin and protects the skin from UV Causes injury to deeper tissues, such as muscle, tendons, or bone. The burn is often black and frequently leads to loss of the burned part. Often nerves are damaged, so patient may not feel pain. Causes damage to epidermis; usually results in redness and pain A protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails. Forms the rigidity of skin and helps with the barrier protection skin provides. A protein found in the dermis that provides the skin with elasticity (allows tissues in our body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting) Largest organ in the body. Brings deoxygenated blood away from skin tissues.
