NGSS.MS-LS1-8

Deep layer of the skin composed of the papillary and reticular layers

• Hypodermis

• Dermis

• Melanin

• Papillary Layer

Projections that hold the epidermis and dermis together

• Melanocytes

• Pacinian Corpuscles

• Hypodermis

• Dermal Papillae

Membranes that line body cavities that are closed to the exterior. They occur in pairs and secrete serous fluid.

• Keratinocytes

• Visceral Layer

• Synovial Membrane

• Serous Membrane

Membranes that line the fibrous capsules surrounding joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. They secrete lubricating fluid.

• Hypodermis

• Cutaneous Membrane

• Synovial Membrane

• Dermis

Cells on the lower layer of the epidermis that produce the pigment melanin.

• Dermal Papillae

• Keratinocytes

• Keratin

• Melanocytes

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Serous membrane that lines the inside walls of a body cavity.

• Cutaneous Membrane

• Visceral Layer

• Parietal Layer

• Reticular Layer

Wet membranes that line body cavities that are open to the exterior. They are often adapted for absorption or secretion.

• Mucous Membranes

• Synovial Membranes

• Reticular Layer.

• Serous Membranes

A fibrous protein in the dermis that provides elasticity.

• Keratin

• Collagen

• Elastin

• Melanin
