Which structure is a type of sweat gland? A three-dimensional view of skin with labeled accessory features. Structure 'A' is one of the grape-like outgrowths of the wall of a sac where a hair grows. Structure B is a round structure with a node in the center and a thread running away into the deeper layers from this node. Structure C is a long, coiled tube that opens to the outside. Structure D is a small spindle-like structure attached to the sac where a hair grows. A B C D

C. Accessory Structures of the Skin Write the name of the accessory structure that best fits the description. 1. Sudoriferous glands located in axillary and genital areas; become active after puberty. 2. Connective tissue projection; provides blood supply for hair matrix. 3. Secures nail to digit. 4. Epithelial layer that surrounds hair root. 5. Secretes sebum onto hair and skin. 6. Part of nail that is visible. 7. Part of nail that extends beyond digit. 8. Part of hair that contains the matrix. 9. Sudoriferous glands that deposit sweat onto epidermal ridges causing fingerprints. 10. Part of hair in epidermis and extending beyond skin surface. 11. Moves hair shaft perpendicular to skin; causes goose bumps. 12. Thickened epithelial tissue at proximal end of nail body. 13. Crescent-shaped area of nail body near cuticle. 14. Part of hair within dermis. 15. Part of nail within skin. 16. Part of nail deep to nail root that produces new cells, causing the nail to grow.

PART 1. Check Your Understanding Activity Identifying and Describing Skin Structures Identify the components of skin accompanying the diagram: Which of the following structures are found in the epidermis? tactile corpuscle, erector pili muscle, lamellated corpuscle, eccrine sweat gland. None of these structures are found in the epidermis. The papillary layer of the dermis is composed primarily of which type of tissue? stratified squamous epithelial tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, simple cuboidal epithelial tissue, loose connective tissue. For each of the following characteristics, indicate whether it describes apocrine (A) or eccrine (E) sweat glands: Are found primarily in the groin and axillae Function primarily in temperature regulation Are located deep in the dermis Have ducts that empty into hair follicles Open onto the skin surface Are located across most of the body surface
Part A The image shows curved layers of tissue of the integumentary system. The highlighted structure is a rounded structure with a cavity in it. The wall of this structure consists of dark rounded cells. Which structure is highlighted? blood vessels eccrine duct arrector pili sebaceous duct
