  • Area of the brain that receives stimuli from skin receptors and determines the type of sensation as well as wwhere it originated from; also called the somatosensory cortex
  • Skin receptors that detect light pressure or light touch
  • Respond to noxious stimuli such as tissue damage from temperature change, extreme mechanical stimuli, and chemical irritation
  • Responds to mechanical stimuli such as hair movement; also called hair follicle receptors
  • Located in the dermis beneath the epidermal-dermal junction and are abundant in the hairless skin such as fingertips, lips, eyelids, nipples, and genitals
  • Found in mucus membranes and detect deeper pressure, cold or reduced temperatureslow-frequency vibrations, and textural changes; also called bulboid corpuscles
  • Found in the dermis and respond to heavy pressure, continous or persistent touch, skin stretching and warmth; also called bulbous corpuscles
  • Found deep in the dermis, especially in the hands and feet , as well as joint capsules, and respond to deep pressure, high-frequency vibrations, and stretch; also Pacinian corpuscles or lamellar corpuscles

  • Fungal Infection of the foot, most often on the soles and between the toes
  • Deeply infected hair follicles that spread to surrounding areas; also called furuncles

  • An injury causing damage to the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer (hypodermis), or organs underneath
  • Recurrent viral infections affecting skin and mucous membranes and can appear anywhere on the body, but most are around the mouth
  • Localized injuries to the skin from sustained pressure; also referred to as bed sores
  • Noncontagious inflammatory skin condition that may be related to allergic reactions
  • Bacterial infection that occirs mainly around the mouth, nose, and skin folds, such as the axillae
  • Wingless parasites that lives its life cycle on a single human host and depends on its blood for survival

  • Fungal infection of the skin
  • Parasitic mites that burrow under the skin
  • Mark left on damaged skin or other tissues after surgical procedures or disease
  • Chronic inflammatory condition of the sebaceous glands marked by an increase in the amount of and changes in the quality of their secretions; called dandruff or cradle cap in infants

  • Tearing, thinning, or overstretching of the skin which reduces its thickness
