Integument b Chapter 4
Dermis • Tough supportive ct matrix • Vascular • Varies in thickness • Eyelids- 0.6 mm • Back, palms, soles 3.0 mm + • Houses accessory structures • 70% collagen, loose array elastic • 2 components • Papillary region • Reticular region
Papillary Region • Loose connective- areolar • Dermal papillae • Papilla (cone) • CT projections into epidermis • Increase vascularization & nervous supply • Papillary plexus • Cutaneous nerves • Push epithelia into surface ridges • Create epidermal ridges
Papillary Plexus Blood vessels extend up into dermal papilla
Reticular Region • Dense irregular connective tissue • Strong tensile support • Support accessory structures • No distinct separation between papillary & reticular region
Accessory Structures • Embedded &/or supported in dermis • Most in close association or derived from epithelial tissue • Ex Hair, nails, glands • NOT all ex. Blood & muscles • Contribute the nervous & muscular tissue components of the integument
Nervous Supply • Nerve types • Merkel cells • Pacinian corpuscle • Meissner’s corpuscle • General • Thermoreceptors- dermis, hot & cold • Free nerve ending- pain, dermis • Root hair plexus- hair follicle • Varied distribution • Face, hands, genitalia
Merkel cells End in epidermis Pain, itch, temperature Found in higher concentrations in glabrous skin Merkel Nerves
Pacinian corpuscle End in dermis- reticular region Intense Pressure & vibration Pacinian Corpuscle
Meissner’s corpuscle Dermal papillae Lt pressure &Touch Hands & feet Meissner’s Corpuscle
Nervous Supply • Autonomic nerves are “automatic” • Supply vessels, sweat glands, arrector pilli Root hair plexus nerves make hairs sensitive to touch
Glands • Exocrine • Open to surface • Sebaceous • Assoc with hair • Sweat (Sudoriforus) • Independent of hair • Ceruminous • Varied distribution & activation
Sebaceous Glands • Secrete sebum into hair shaft • Oil glands secrete sebum • Holocrine secretion • Close association with hair follicles • Lubricates, conditions, inhibits bacteria • Enlarge during puberty • Androgen hormones stimulate • Varied distribution • Face, scalp, chest, back • None on glabrous skin
Sebaceous Glands Look like eyeballs!
Sweat Glands • Watery secretion • 99% • Thermoregulation, communication • Coiled tubular glands • Dermis • Merocrine secretion • Two types • Eccrine (Merocrine) • Apocrine
Eccrine Sweat Glands • AKA merocrine • 2.5 million • Thermal control • Varied distribution • Axillae, palms, soles, throughout skin • Thermal & psychological control • Open to surface of skin • Watery secretion solution of water & ions
Apocrine • Open into hair follicle • Merocrine secretion mode • Milky fluid • Larger • Sexual scent gland derived • Symbiotic bacteria • Varied distribution • Axillae, perineum (anogenital), areolae
Ceruminous Glands • Cerumin • Thick waxy substance • Protective • Apocrine mechanism of secretion
Hair • Hair cells • invagination of epidermis • Highly keratinized compacted kertatinocytes • Papilla in dermis • Blood vessels & nerves • Hair types • Lanugo- baby • Vellus- peach fuzz • Terminal- pigmented • Function in Communication, sensory, insulation, protection • Varies in distribution • High concentration in facial area • Absent in glabrous skin
Hair Structure • Follicle • Epidermis sheath into dermis • houses hair • Bulb • Base of follicle • Contains the germinative layer • Hair papillae • Projection into bulb • Supplies blood & nervous • Root • Immature living hair • Not completely keratinized • ~1/2 length of follicle • Shaft • Mature exposed part of hair
Hair Bulb Hair papilla
Nails • Hardened, densely packed keratin • Protects finger tips • Facilitates grasping & tactile sensitivity • Nail plate 0.1 mm/ day
Hypodermis • Aka Sub-cutaneous layer, Superficial fascia, Sub-Q • NOT a part of the integument system • Structure- • Areolar connective tissue & Adipose tissue • Interwoven fibers with surrounding tissue layers • Firm attachment while still flexible • Vary in thickness- 3cm + abdomen • Blood supply to dermis • Cutaneous plexus • Function- • Attachment of CM • Insulation • Padding
