| 설명 | 신체를 싸고 있는 바깥층으로서 표피, 진피, 피하조직으로 구성되며, 외부 환경으로부터 신체를 보호하고 체온을 조절하는 기능을 가짐. 1.표피: 피부의 가장 바깥층으로서 외배엽에서 기원하며 각질이라는 구조 단백질을 생산하는 기능을 가짐. 4가지의 세포가 있는데, 각질세포, 멜라닌세포, Langerhans 세포, 부정형 세포, Merkel세포가 있다. 표피에는 이 4가지 세포외에 다음과 같은 표피 부속기가 있다. 에크린 땀샘(eccrine sweat gland): 점막 피부 경계 부위 등 특수한 부위를 제외한 모든 피부에서 발견되며 땀을 분비하는 샘으로서 신체 열 조절 체계의 중요한 요소. 아포크린샘(apocrine gland): 겨드랑이, 젖꽃판, 항문 생식기 부위, 외이도, 눈꺼풀 등에서만 발견되며 분비물의 기능은 잘 알려져 있지 않으나 동물에서는 방어 및 성적 기능이 있음. 털주머니(hair follicle): 손바닥, 발바닥 등 특수 부위를 제외한 신체 전 부위에 분포하며 인간에서 중요한 생리적 기능은 없으나 성적 매력을 지니는 신체 장식의 기능을 가짐. 기름샘(sebaceous gland): 손바닥과 발바닥을 제외한 전 피부에 분포하며 분비물을 기름(sebum)라 부름. 남성 호르몬의 자극에 의해 성장하며 생리적 기능은 잘 알려져 있지 않음. 손발톱(nail) 2. 진피: 표피 아래에 존재하는 중배엽 기원의 조직으로서 혈관, 림프관, 신경, 근육, 표피 부속기 등을 포함하고 있음. 표피 바로 밑의 부위를 유두 진피라 하고 아래층을 망상 진피라 한다. 조직 섬유에는 아교질 섬유, 그물 섬유, 탄력 섬유의 세 종류가 있다. 3. 피하 조직: 진피 아래에 존재하며 중배엽 기원으로서 보온 작용, 충격 흡수 작용, 영양 저장 작용의 기능이 있다. |

| cross-reactive antibody | <haematology, immunology> Antibodies which don't respond to any one specific antigen, but will respond to a number of them. These antibodies can be responsible for false positive results in antigen-antibody tests. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| thiobarbituric acid reactive substances | Low-molecular-weight end products, probably malondialdehyde, that are formed during the decomposition of lipid peroxidation products. These compounds react with thiobarbituric acid to form a fluorescent red adduct. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abscess, skin | Medical term for a common boil. (12 Dec 1998) |
| allergy skin test | Test done on the skin to identify the allergy substance (allergen) triggering the allergic reaction. A small amount of the suspected allergy substance is placed on the skin. The skin is then gently scratched through the small drop with a special sterile needle. If the skin reddens and, more importantly, swells, then allergy to that substance is probable. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alligator skin | <dermatology> A group of cutaneous disorders characterised by increased or aberrant keratinisation, resulting in noninflammatory scaling of the skin. Many different metaphors have been used to describe the appearance and texture of the skin in the various types and stages of ichthyosis, for example alligator, collodion, crocodile, fish and porcupine skin. most ichthyoses are genetically determined, while some may be acquired and develop in association with various systemic diseases or be a prominent feature in certain genetic syndromes. The term is commonly used alone to refer to i. Vulgaris. (18 Nov 1997) |
| appendages of skin | The hairs, nails, and sweat, sebaceous, and mammary glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aspergillus antigen skin test | <investigation> An antigen, prepared from aspergillus, is injected into the skin. In 48 to 72 hours the site is read as positive or negative. A positive skin test (inflammation at the test site) indicates prior exposure to aspergillus and therefore a risk for developing aspergillosis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bronzed skin | The dark skin in Addison's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calipers, skin | Calipers are instruments used to measure the diameter of an object. (The word calipers is a corruption of caliber ). The skin fold thickness in several parts of the body can be measured with calipers, a metal or plastic tool similar to a compass. This is done in medicine and physical anthropology. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cancer, skin | Cancer of the outer surface of the body. The most common cancer in the U.S. There are many types of skin cancer. Ultraviolet light from sunlight is the main cause of skin cancer. Unexplained changes in the appearance of the skin, lasting longer than 2 weeks, should be evaluated by a doctor. The cure rate for skin cancer could be 100% if all skin cancers were brought to a doctor's attention before they had a chance to spread. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, skin appendage | A malignant tumour of the skin appendages, which include the hair, nails, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and the mammary glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galvanic skin reaction | A change in electrical resistance of the skin, occurring in emotion and in certain other conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galvanic skin reflex | A change in electrical resistance of the skin, occurring in emotion and in certain other conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galvanic skin response | A change in electrical resistance of the skin, occurring in emotion and in certain other conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Rebuck skin window technique | An in vivo test of the inflammatory response in which the skin is abraded and a slide applied to the abraded area to permit visualization of leukocyte mobilization. (05 Mar 2000) |
