Cutaneous Membrane

*****is the skin*****


*maintains homeostasis - stable internal environment


*protection


*regulates body temp


*contains sensory receptors


*excretes waste products-sweat glands


Epidermis

*contains stratified squamous epithelium


***NO BLOOD VESSELS

Stratum Basale

*deepest layer


*attached to basement membrane


*forms epidermal ridges - projects down into ridges


*where new cells are generated


Melanocytes: pigments that provide color

Stratum Spinosum

*Several layers thick

Stratum Granulosum

->By the time the epithelium cells reach this layer, they have stopped dividing.

Stratum Lucidum

->Located in only thick skin


(ex.) palms of hands and soles of feet

Movement of cells from Basale to Corneum

->It takes 2-4 weeks for cells to move from Stratum Basale to the Stratum Corneum. During this time, the cells loses its oxygen supply and becomes packed with keratin and finally dies. The dead cells remain in the Stratum Corneum for an additional 2 weeks before they are shed or washed away. (most superficial-dead skin)

Keratin

tough water protein

Dermis

->contains sensory receptors and blood vessels (cold to touch, hot to touch)


->2 layers


->Reticular Layer


*Superficial (towards the surface)


*Dense, irregular connective tissue

the epidermis.

Subcutaneous Layer

->Loose connective tissue with many fat cells (adipose)


*Insulation keeps us warm

Skin color

->Pigment composition (2)


*CAROTENE: orange color pigment


*MELANIN: brown-yellow or black pigment


->produced by melanocytes which inject pigment into the epidermis


->increased activity with sunlight exposure


->melanin absorbs UV light to prevent damage to the DNA.

What is the skin color when blood vessels are dilated and blood is highly oxygenated?

Bright red, or pink - Erythrema

What is the skin color when blood vessels are constricted and blood flow is decreased?

pale/white or pallor

What is the skin color when there is sustained reduction in blood supply?

bluish---cyanosis

Hair Follicles

->where hair originates


**projects into the: dermis and contains the hair root.


->Hair is formed at the deepest portion where cells divide.


->Keratization occurs and a shaft is made which projects above the skin and is composed of dead, keratized cells.


***ARRECTOR PILI: muscle attaches and pulls on the hair follicle.


*****smooth muscle --involuntary****(Goosebumps - happens when you are cold, or scared.)

4 Functions of Hair

1.) protects scalp - UV light


2.) provides insulation head


3.) guards insulation ears, eyes, and nose


4.) helps to feel something and nerve fibers

->Merocrin


****Location: Forehead, palm, back, soles

Regulation of Body Temperature

->normal body temp - 98.6*


->Increased Body Temp: sweat glands activated, blood vessels dilated, bring temp back 98.6.


->Decreased Body Temp: Start shiver, generate heat, start to constrict to get temp to 98.6

Redness


(inflammation)

vasodilation, more blood in area.

Heat


(inflammation)

large amount of blood accumulating in area and as a by-product of increased metabolic activity in tissue.

Communication within the compact bone

-> central canals communicate with each other through perforating canals

*Calcium from SR binds to troponin on the Actin filament


*As calcium and troponin combine, a binding site on actin is expected
