innermost epidermal layer; single layer of cuboidal cells; in contact with dermis mitotically active.

Stratum germinativum

second layer from the bottom consists of 8-10 layers of cells, keratinocytes are bound together by desmsosomes

Stratum Spinosum

AKA grainy layerThird layer from the bottom. consists of 3-5 layers of keratinocytes. Most cells in layer have stopped dividing.

Stratum granulosum

AKA clear layer cells in this layer are flat, densely packed and filled with keratin

Stratum lucidum

surface layer- 15-30 layers of keratinized cells, dead cells are connected tightly by desmosomes

Stratum corneum

Heavily abraded body surfaces (palms of hands and soles of feet) may be covered by this, formed by five layers of keratinocytes

thick skin

formed by four layers of keratinocytes ( most abundant epithelial cells. Covers most of the body

thin skin

At the base of the root; connective tissue containing capillaries and nerves

hair papilla

surround hair papilla

hair bulb

contains flexible soft keartin

medulla

surrounds the medulla; contains hard keratin; gives hair its stiffness

cortex

a layer of hard keratin that coats the hair

cuticle

extends from the hair bulb to halfway to the skin surface

root hair plexus

can erect the hairs; stimulation may result from fear, rage, cold (goose bumps)

arrector pilli muscles

variations result from differences in structure and variations in melanocytes produced pigments


Genetically determined


hormonal and enviromental factors can affect your hair's condition

hair color

large sebaceous glands that empty directly onto the surface of the epidermis; located on face, back, chest, nipples and male sex organs

sebacious follicles

blood supply and pigment composition and concentration (amounts of carotene and melanin)

What the color of the epidermis depends on

fat distribution in men

neck, arm, lower back, over the buttocks

a lack of pigment


air bubbles in the medulla of the hair shaft

white hair results from

Epidermis thins prone to injury and skin infection


Vitamin D3 production declines-more sensitive to sun exposure


Glandulars activities decline- they overheat easily


Reduced blood supply to the dermis


hair follicles stop functioning or produce thinner hairs and gray or white hairs


Dermis thins and elastic fiber network decrease in size it causes sagging and wrinkling


secondary sexual characteristics in hair and body fat distribution begin to fade


skin repairs are cause skin infections

effects of age on the integumentary system

Why are lines of cleavage important to surgeon?

a cut parallel to lines of cleavage will remain closed


a cut perpendicular to lines of cleavage will remain open

Sebaceous glands and apocrine sweat glands are controlled by the autonomic nervous system; if one is "turned on" they all are "turned on"

control of glandular secretions

considerable degree of functional independence (does not involve nervous or endocrine system)

Integument system shows a

fat distribution in women

breasts, buttocks, hips and thighs
