  • Front
  • Back
includes the skin and it's derovatives, first line of defense
integumentary system
1) regulation of body temperature 2) protection through physical, chemical, and biological barriers 3) reception of sensory stimuli 4) minor role in excretion 5) synthesis in vitamin D
Functions of integumentary system
consists of different tissues that are joined together to perform specific functions, largest organ of the body
Skin
another name for skin
Cutaneous Membrane
Skin it the only _____ place in the body
keratinized
superficial part of the skin
epidermis
deeper layer of skin
dermis
below the dermis
subcutaeous layer or hypodermis
consists of areolar and adipose tissue and serves as an are for fat storage, blood vessel passage, and pressure nerve endings
subcutaneous layer
composed of stratified squamous epithelium and contains 4 distinct types of cells
epidermis
type of cell in epidermis that produces keratin and lamellar granules which protect and waterproof
keratinocytes
type of cell in epidermis that prodduces melanin which abosrbs damaging UV light
melanocytes
type of cell in epidermis the participate in immune reponse
Langerhans
type of cell in epidermis that contact a tactile (Merkel) disc and function in touch sensation
Merkel
contains stem cells capable of forming new cells
Stratum Basale
provides strength and flexibility
Stratum spinosum
shows formation of waterproof sealant between cells and marks transition from living and dead cells
Stratum granulosum
is present only in fingers, palms and soles, it contain more collagen than other places, dead
stratum lucidum
consists of dead cells
stratum corneum
replacement of cell contents with the protein keratin, occurs as cells move to the skin surface over 2 to 4 weeks
keratinization
hormone that stimulates growth of epidermis and fibroblasts of comnnective tissue
epidermal growth factor
composed of connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers and has 2 regions
dermis
upper layer consisting of areolar connective tissue containg elastic fibers, blood vessels, dermal papillae, corpuscles of touch, and free nerve endings for sensations of heat, cold, pain, tickle, and itch
papillary region
deeper layer consisting of dense irregular connective tissue containg bundles of collagen and elastic fibers, spaces between fibers may contain hair follicles, adipose cells, sebaceous glands and ducts of sudoriferous glands
reticular region
due to melanin in the epidermis, carotene in the dermis, and blood in the dermal cappillaries
skin color
typically reflect contours of the underlying dermis and increase friction for better grasping and gripping
epidermal ridges
hair glands and nails
epidermal derivatives
present on skin except palms, palmar surfaces of digits, soles and plantar surfaces of digits
hair (Pili)
hair grows with better blood supply (T/F)
True
protection, insulation, sensing light touch
functions of hair
above the surface ( visible surface)
hair shaft
part of hair that penetrates the dermis
root
part of hair that penetrates the subcutaneous layer
cuticle
surround the hair root
hair follicle
new hairs develop form cell division of the _____ in the bulb
matrix
1) Growing stage
2) Resting stage
2 stages of hair growth
hair color is due to the ____ and ____ of melanin
amount; type
normal hair loss is _____
70 to 100 hairs a day
connected to ahir follicles and absent on palms and soles, secrete oil, all hair follicles have one
sebacious (oil) glands
moistens and waterproofs skin, inhibits growth of bacteria and fungi, contains cholesterol, proteins, fats and salts
sebum
inflames sebum glands may produce blackheads, pimples, or boils (T/F)
True
glands that produce sweat, divided into apocrine and eccrine types
sudoriferous glands
have extensive distribution and their ducts open at the surface of the epidermis, main function is to help regulate body temperature through evaportaion, also eliminate a small amount of waste to the surface
eccrine sweat glands
limited to the skin of the axilla, groin, areola, and bearded region of the face, their ducts open into the hair follicles and they are triggered by stress response
apocrine sweat glands
modified sudoriferous glans that produce a waxy substance called cerumen, found in external auditory meatus ad prevents entrance of foreign particles
ceruminous glands
hard keratinized epidermal cells over dorsal surface of the terminal portions of fingers and toes
nails
body, free edge, root. lunula, eponychium and matrix
main parts of the nails
cell division of _____ produces new nail
matrix
help in grasping and manipulating small objects and provide protection to the ends of digits
function of nails
average nail growth
1mm per week
blood clot unites with wound edges, vasodilation and increased permeability of blodd vessels deliver phagocytes and fibroblasts form
inflammatory phase
epithelial cells beneath scab bridge the wound, fibroblasts synthesize scar tissue, damaged blood vessels begin regrowth granulation tissue fills the wound
migratory phase
events of the migratory phase intensify
proliferative phase
scabs sloguh off normal thickness of epidermis collagen fibers become organized fibroblasts disappear and blood vessels return to normal
maturation phase
inflammation of the sebacious glands
acne
result of excessive exposure to sunlight
skin cancer
1) Basal cell Carcinoma (rare metas.)
2)Squamous cell Carcinnoma (may metas.)
3)Malignant melanome (rapidly metas.)
3 types of skin cancer
epidermis surface burn
1st degree burn
epidermis and dermis burn
2nd degree burn
epidermis, dermis,and epidermal derivatives
3rd degree burn
