Bellringer: What is the largest organ of your body? What system is it part of? Write your answer down on a fresh sheet of paper or notetaking device!
Integumentary System • Integument- “covering” • Parts: • Skin • Sweat and oil glands • Hair • Nails
Fun Facts • Skin = 7% of your total body weight • ~80% of dust in your home is dead skin cells • More than 500 species of bacteria living on your skin • 1.5-4 mm thick
Epidermis • Epi= upon • Dermis = skin • Tough but loosely anchored • New cells created deep • Mostly dead • “Beauty is only skin deep” ?! • 5 layers
4 Important Cells: • Keratinocytes • Produce protein keratin which gives skin protective qualities • Melanocytes • Produce melanin (nucleus umbrellas!) • Langerhans • Phagocytes • Merkelcells • Sensory cell
Stratum Basale“Basal Layer” • Deepest • Produces keratinocytes • Mitosis hotspots • Merkel hangout
Stratum Spinosum“Prickly Layer” • Funny shaped keratinocytes • Langerhan hangout • Tension-resisting
Stratum Granulosum“Granular Layer” • 3-5 cell layers thick • Waterproofing • Cell death line
Stratum Lucidum“Clear Layer” • Only in thick skin • Just a few rows of dead keratinocytes
Stratum Corneum“Horny Layer” • 20-30 dead cells thick • 75% of epithelial thickness • Protects against abrasion and penetration FULL OF HORNY CELLS (they’re shaped like horns)
Activities! • Color the different layers of the epithelium • Draw pictures of each cell type and epithelial layer using a microscope
