3 types of epithelial membranes
Cutaneous, mucous, serous
Cutaneous (skin)
Stratified squamous, dry membrane
Mucous membrane (mucosa)
Lines body cavities open to exterior
Ex: respiratory system, digestive, urinary, reproductive systems
Moist membranes, tissue types pseudo stratified, stratified squamous, simple columnar, absorbs and secretes
Serous membrane (serosa)
Simple squamous or areolar, lines body cavities closed to exterior
Inner layer visceral (directly touching again)
Outer layer parietal
In between is serous fluid -steril
3 types of serous membrane
Pericardium, pleura, peritoneum
Pericardium
Heart
Pleura
Lungs
Peritoneum
Viscera
Connective tissue membrane
Synovial membrane
Synovial membrane
Lines joints; double membrane, lubricates and secretes fluid
Structure
Epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue (mostly fat & anchors skin)
Epidermis
About 40 layers thick
Replaced every 30-60 days
Tissue types stratified squamous, avascular, keratinization- process of skin cells moving to the surface
Keratinization
Matrix process of skin cells moving to the surface
Stratum corneum
Outermost layer
20 to 30 cells thick
Makes up 75% of the epidermis
Thickest
#1
Stratum lucidum (clear layer)
Only present in thick skin
Many keratinized cells
Ex: gluteal, sole of feet
#2
Stratum granulosum
Cells begin yo flatten; organelles disintegrate
Tough plasma membrane (cell membrane)
#3
Stratum spinosum
Several layers thick
Lots of keratin (matrix)
#4
Stratum basale (germinativum)
*only layer to receive nourishment- somewhat vascular
Contains melanin (brown pigment) causes skin to be tan
Lots of mitosis; cells then push upward to replace lost cells
Layer closest to dermis
#5
Skin appendages
Parts of the skin that arise from the epidermis to skin surface through ducts
Sebaceous glands (oil)
Cover body except for hands and feet
Sebum
Oil, dead cells, etc
Lubricant, kills bacteria, become active during adolesence (hormones)
Whitehead
Pus from follicle infection (surface)
Blackhead
Clogged pore/follicle older whitehead
Overactive sebaceous gland
Acne dandruff cradle cap
Sweat glands
About 2.5 millions per person
Pheromone
Scent
Eccrine glands
Produce watery sweat
Regulates body temp.
Ph:4.5-6 to kill bacteria
Most numerous type; especially hands and feet
Apocrine gland
Produces thicker sweat, odorless until bacteria munch on fatty acids (Na, Cl, K) found in armpit (axillary), groin (inguinal), active during puberty
Hyperthermia
Increase body temp
Hypothermia
Low body temp.
Hair
Filters, protects, senses
Hair follicle
Surrounds actual hair below the skin
Provides blood supply to hair matrix
Root
Area below skin
Arector pili
Smooth muscle, causes goosebumps
Shaft
Hair above the skin
Cuticle
Outermost layer
Cortex
Middle layer
Medulla
Core
Dermis (hide)
Strong, thicker on soles of feet and buttocks, fibrous connective tissue with matrix -collagen and keratin (dense), vascular with a rich supply of nerves and lymph
Papillary layer (upper dermal layer)
Connective tissue with finger like projections-fingerprints
Touch
Meissner's corpuscles
Pain
Naked nerve endings, sense temperature
Reticular layer
Wider layer, deepest dermal layer, blood vessels, sweat glands and oil glands
Deep pressure receptors
Pacinian corpuscles
Phagocytes
Destroy bacteria ex: WBC
Collagen
Attracts water
Hypodermis
Adipose (right below the reticular
Blister
Desperation of he epidermis from the dermis
Besores
Skin ulcer, poor blood flow to the skin
Leather-like skin
Cause smoking and tanning
Cancer
Rapid growth of cells
Melanin
Brown, normal
Carotene
Yellow, vitamin A, normal
Hemoglobin
Red, normal
Cyanosis
Blue, low oxygen, abnormal
Erythema
Abnormal red, blushing, anger, fever, allergies, abnormal
Pallor
Pale, white, low blood pressure
Juandice
Abnormal yellow, liver issue or it has been affected
Bruise
Purple, black & blue, blood beneath the skin, abnormal
Hair color is produced by
Melanocytes
Oval follocle
Wavy hair
Flat follicle
Curly hair kinky
Round follicle
Straight hair
Arrector pili myscle
Smooth muscle
Free edge
Part of the nail you cut
Body of the nail
Visible part
Lanula
Half moon on nail, thicker nail
Lanula & cuticle
Protection to nail root & matrix
Root
Below skin
Matrix
Area of growth
Athletes foot
Fungus on feet, in warm moist areas
Ringworm
Fungus on the skin
Boil
Infection of 1 hair follicle
Carbuncles
Infection of multiple follicles
Cold sore
Fever blisters, herpes virus
Contact dermatitis
Skin inflammation- allergic reaction to something ex: poison ivy, Nickle in necklaces
Impertigo
Bacterial infection of the skin
Psoriasis
Genetic basis, cause: over production of skin cells
