Outer Integument Layer
|
Epidermis
- Stratified Squamous Epithelium |
|
Inner Integument Layer
|
Dermis
- Connective tissue & muscle |
|
Hyperdermis
|
NOT PART OF SKIN
connective tissue similar to skin |
|
Stratum Basale
|
- one layer thick
- makes new epidermal cells - Keratinocyte, Melanocyte, Tactile cells |
|
Melanocyte
|
Keratinocytes that fagotitized - melanin
|
|
Tactile Cell
|
touch receptors, attach to sensory nerve endings
|
|
Stratum Spinosum
|
- Mostly keratinocytes
- Has Dendtritic cells = macrophage, signals immune response |
|
Stratum Granulosum
|
- Flattened out cells
- Keratinocytes form into Keratinohyalin Granules |
|
Keratinohyalin Granules
|
Make vesicles that release glycolipids for waterproofing and cutting off nutrients
|
|
Stratum Lucidum
|
Keratinocytes lose organelles
ONLY in thick skin (palms) |
|
Stratum Corneum
|
Keratinocytes are DEAD, scaly
|
|
Dermis
|
Connective tissues, vessels, hair follicles, muscle tissue
|
|
Reticular Layer of Dermis
|
Dense, irregular (non-parallel) connective tissue
|
|
Papillary Layer of Dermis
|
Loose connective tissue
-For WBC defense and mobility |
|
Hypodermis
|
Many vessels, loose connective tissue, fat storage/padding, energy reservoir, insulation
|
|
Pigments
|
Carotene, Melanin, Hemoglobin
|
|
Melanin
|
- Black to red & some yellow
- Determined by heredity - UV stimulates it |
|
Carotene
|
- Orange-yellow
- From egg yolk & yellow/orange vegetables - Foot calluses |
|
Hemoglobin
|
red, in dermal vessels
ex: lips |
|
Cyanosis
|
BLUE
- Deficiency of oxygen in blood - Poor circulation - drowning, choking, cold weather |
|
Erythema
|
RED
- Increased blood flow - Measles, Lime's disease, sunburns, exercise |
|
Jaundice
|
YELLOW
- High levels of bilirubin - Liver malfunction, hepatitis, arrhosis, cancer |
|
bilirubin
|
RBC breakdown fragment normally disposed by liver
|
|
Pallor
|
PALE
- Little blood flow, collagen showing - Low BP, anemia, cold temp, stress |
|
Albinism
|
White Hair/Skin, Pink Eyes
- Genetic lack of melanin - Bade gene, tyorsine enxyme |
|
Hematoma
|
Bruise
- collection of blood outside of vessels - Caused by accident or hemophelia (no clotting factor) |
|
Skin Functions
|
Barrier
Vitamin D - karinocytes use UV to make vitamins Sensory - nerve endings Thermoregulation Social |
|
Skin as a Barrier
|
- Physical injuries
- Infectious organisms: outer- dry, inner- macrophages - Water gains and losses - Sun protection |
|
Skin as a Thermoregulator
|
- Thermoreceptors sense temperature changes
- To warm: constrict arteries - To cool: dilate arteries, sweating |
|
Skin as a Social function
|
Color, distribution of hair, mate choices, non-verbal communication
|
|
Hair & Nails
|
- Accessory organs
- Dead, karitonized cells |
|
Hair
|
"PILUS"
- Fialment of karitonized cells that grow in follicles (tubes) - 3 Zones: Bulb, Root, Shaft - Dead tissues except near shaft (grows) |
|
Hair Matrix
|
Where cell division occurs
|
|
Dermal Papila
|
Source of nutrition for hair
|
|
Medulla
|
Core, loose cells
|
|
Cortex
|
Densly packed cells, ring around medulla
|
|
Cuticle
|
Single layer of scaly cells surrounding
|
|
Hair Functions
|
1) Warmth
2) Sun Protection 3) Alert for parasites 4) Identification 5) Sexual Maturity (pubic hair, beard) 6) Stops particles from entering (eyelashes) 7) Facial expression (eyebrows) |
