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)
Nails
- Derived from stratum corneum (dead tissue)
Nail Functions
- Dig, groom & pick food
Nail Plate
Visible portion of nail
Acne
- Inflammation of sebaceous glands
- Follicles blocked with dead cells and creates bacteria buildup
Dermatitis
Any inflammation of skin (itching and redness)
Eczema
Itchy, red, weeping skin lesions caused by allergy
Psoriasis
Recurring reddened plaques covered with silvery scale
1st Degree Burn
Epidermis only
2nd Degree Burn
Epidermis & part of dermis
3rd Degree Burn
Epidermis, dermis and sometimes deeper
