TISSUES TISSUES WITH THE DERMIS Collagen - (which means glue), is a tough, yet flexible, fibrous protein material. Mast Cells - (Found in the connective tissue of the dermis), respond to injury, or infection. Heparin - Is released in response to injury, is and anticoagulant. Histamine - Is released in response to allergens, causes itching and increased mucus secretion.

MEDICAL SPECIALTIES RELATED TO THE SKIN Dermatologist -Specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the skin. Cosmetic Surgeon (plastic surgeon) - Specializes in surgical restoration and reconstruction of the body structures.

CLASSIFICATION OF BURN SEVERITY First Degree Burn Superficial burns, sunburn - No blisters, superficial damage to the epidermis. Second Degree Burn Partial-thickness burns - Blisters, superficial damage to the epidermis. Third degree burn Full-thickness burns -Damage to the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layers.

T]THE HAIR Hair fibers are rodlike structures composed of tightly fused, dead protein cells filled with hard keratin. Hair Follicles -The sacs that hold the root of the hair fibers. Arrector Pili (Erector Muscles) - Tiny muscles fibers attached to the hair follicles that cause hair to stand erect.

THE NAILS Nail Body -Closely molded to the surface of the underlying tissues. Nail Bed -Joins the nail body to the underlying connective tissues. Free Edge -The portion of the nail not attached to the nail bed, extends beyond the tip of the finger of toe. Cuticle -A narrow band of epidermis attached to the surface of the nail just in front of the root.

THE NAILS CONT... Lunula -A pale half moon shaped region at the nail root and is generally found in the thumbnail. Root - Fastens the nail to the finger or toe by fitting into a groove in the skin.
