A small part of the nail matrix that can be seen through the nail body as a whitish, crescent-shaped area at the base of the nail.

True or False The nail grows continuously and does not have a resting stage.

Integumentary System as a Diagnostic Aid: Associated with vitamin A deficiency in which the skin produces excess keratin.

Integumentary System as a Diagnostic Aid: It is associated with iron-deficiency anemia in which the nails lose their normal contour and become flat or concave.

A variation of skin color caused by increased blood flowing through the skin.

It is a bacterial infection that causes reddish rash on the skin.

It is associated with fever, hypertension, inflammation, and allergies.

A variation in skin color caused by decreased blood flow

It is associated with anemia, low blood pressure, shock

A bluish color of skin caused by a decrease in the blood oxygen content.

It is associated with impaired circulation or respiratory functions.

A yellow discoloration of the skin

A yellow pigment found in plants (squash and carrots); normally used as a source of vitamin A and accumulates in lipids of stratum corneum and in the adipocytes of dermis and subcutaneous.

It is associated with liver disorder, too much consumption of carotene.

___ rays can cause burning of the skin; associated with basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.

The most frequent type of skin cancer that affects the cells in stratum basale and extends into dermis to produce an open wound; readily treatable with surgery.

A type of skin cancer that develops from cells immediately superficial to the stratum basale; if untreated, can metastasize and lead to death.

A rare form of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes, usually in pre-existing mole. It appear as a large, flat, spreading lesion or as a deeply pigmented nodule; metastasis is common and often fatal.
