THE HEAD AND NECK The head and neck region is an amalgam of components of all of the systems of the body. It is a relatively small region in relation to the amount of time given over to it in any anatomy course but that is largely due to the fact the structures within the region are small. The basic principles which have helped you to appreciate the anatomy of the other regions of the body apply equally to the head and neck (eg‚ muscles which cross a joint will act on that joint‚ etc)

Ichthyosis Vulgaris Ichthyosis vulgaris is a member of a group of cutaneous disorders of keratinization and appear both clinically and histologically. Ichthyosis vulgaris disrupts this balance either because too many replacement skin cells are produced or because the skin cells do not separate well from the skin surface when it is their time to drop off. The result is that skin cells accumulate into thick flakes that adhere to the body. Ichthyosis vulgaris can be a nuisance‚ but rarely affects overall

Compare and Contrast Sommia Khan Dr. Doumen Exocrine versus Endocrine glands: The similarities between exocrine and endocrine glands are that they are both glandular tissues. Glandular tissues are generally composed of cuboidal cell or columnar cell. Exocrine glands release substances like sweat and saliva through ducts on to the surface of the body. Exocrine glands include merocrine sweat glands‚ apocrine sweat glands and holocrine glands. Merocrine sweat glands‚ also known as eccrine sweat glands
