Which layer of the dermis constitutes 80 percent of the dermis and is responsible for the tension lines in the skin?
The reticular layer.
Which dermal layer is 80 percent of the dermis and is responsible for the tension lines in the skin?
The reticular layer is 80 percent of the dermis and is responsible for the tension lines in the skin. These lines are called Langer's lines and are important in surgical procedures to minimize scarring.
What constitutes 80 percent of the dermis and is responsible for tjr tension lines in the skin?
reticular layer
What are flexure lines?
The deeper part of the dermis is responsible for markings on our skin surface called Flexure lines. These lines are easily observed as the deep skin creases on the palms. Flexure lines result from a continual folding of the skin, often over joints, where the dermis attaches tightly to underlying structures. Flexure lines are also visible on the wrists, soles of the feet, fingers, and toes.
What are lines of cleavage?
Lines of cleavage are natural planes of separation in the skin that are determined by the orientation of collagen fibers. These lines are important to consider in surgery because incisions made parallel to the lines of cleavage heal better with less scarring compared to incisions made perpendicular to them.
What layer of the sun is responsible for the absorption of lines in the solar spectrum?
Light coming up from the centre of the Sun goes through the outer layer where it encounters absorbtion by elements in the outer layer, and this gives rise to absorbtion lines in the spectrum.
Incisions should be made across rather than parallel to cleavage lines produced by collagen fiber bundles?
NO CLEAVAGE LINES SHOULD BE MADE PARALLEL. When and incision is made parallel to the cleavage lines, the skin gapes less and heals more readily than when the incision is made across the cleavage lines
What is the clinical significance of the lines of cleavage?
Lines of cleavage in the skin are important for surgical incisions, as making incisions parallel to the lines of cleavage can result in less scarring and improved wound healing. Surgeons often try to align incisions along these natural lines to reduce tension and minimize the risk of keloid formation.
Skin cuts parallel gape less?
cleavage lines
What are skin markings that occur where the dermis is secured to deeper structures?
flexure lines
What does lines of cleavage mean?
Cleavage occurs naturally between the tissue of the two breasts. We think mostly of well-endowed females as having cleavage, but overweight boys and men can have cleavage too. The "lines of cleavage" are, as a simple description, the line between the clothing or bra and the exposed area of the breast and the "line" or separation between the breasts. So, if a woman wears an ill-fitting bra or one that is too small, the area of cleavage can be pronounced. In smaller bosoms, cleavage is less pronounced or noticeable.
What is the medical term meaning study of the integumentary system?
Here are some vocabulary for the integumentary system: Epidermis Dermis Papillary layer Reticular layer Subcutaneous layer Hair Shaft Sweat Gland Tactile Corpuscle Sebaceous Gland Arrector Pili Muscle Hair Follicle Nerve Fibers Artery Vein Stratum Germinitivum Stratum Spinosum Stratum Granulosum Stratum Lucidum Stratum Corneum Albino Lines of Cleavage Hypodermis Apocrine Glands Merocrine Sweat Glands
