Science 2nd Year 3rd Quarterly Exam Repost Skin Diagram
The Skin Diagram
Blood vessels - Tubes that carry blood as it circulates. Arteries bring oxygenated blood from the heart and lungs; veins return oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart and lungs.Dermis - (also called the cutis) the layer of the skin just beneath the epidermis.
Epidermis - the outer layer of the skin.
Hair follicle - a tube-shaped sheath that surrounds the part of the hair that is under the skin. It is located in the epidermis and the dermis. The hair is nourished by the follicle at its base (this is also where the hair grows).
Hair shaft - The part of the hair that is above the skin.
Hair erector muscle - a muscle is connected to each hair follicle and the skin - it contracts (in response to cold, fear, etc.), resulting in an erect hair and a "goosebump."
Melanocyte - a cell in the epidermis that produces melanin (a dark-colored pigment that protects the skin from sunlight).
Pacinian Corpuscle - nerve receptors that respond to pressure and vibration; they are oval capsules of sensory nerve fibers located in the subcutaneous fatty tissue
Sebaceous gland - a small, sack-shaped gland that releases oily (fatty) liquids onto the hair follicle (the oil lubricated and softens the skin). These glands are located in the dermis, usually next to hair follicles.
Sweat gland - (also called sudoriferous gland) a tube-shaped gland that produces perspiration (sweat). The gland is located in the epidermis; it releases sweat onto the skin.
Subcutaneous tissue - fatty tissue located under the dermis.
Science 2nd Year 3rd Quarterly Exam Repost Lung Anatomy
Lung Anatomy Diagram
Bronchial tree - the system of airways within the lungs, which bring air from the trachea to the lung's tiny air sacs (alveoli).
Cardiac notch - the indentation in the left lung that provides room for the heart.
Diaphragm - a muscular membrane under the lungs.
Larynx - a muscular structure at the top of the trachea, containing the vocal cords.
Left inferior lobe - the bottom lobe of the lung on the left side of the body.
Left superior lobe - the top lobe of the lung on the left side of the body.
Right inferior lobe - the bottom lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
Right middle lobe - the middle lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
Right superior lobe - the top lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
Trachea (windpipe) - the tube through which air travels from the larynx to the lungs.
Cardiac notch - the indentation in the left lung that provides room for the heart.
Diaphragm - a muscular membrane under the lungs.
Larynx - a muscular structure at the top of the trachea, containing the vocal cords.
Left inferior lobe - the bottom lobe of the lung on the left side of the body.
Left superior lobe - the top lobe of the lung on the left side of the body.
Right inferior lobe - the bottom lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
Right middle lobe - the middle lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
Right superior lobe - the top lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
