Organization • Skin • Epidermis • Dermis • Accessory Structures • Hair & Hair follicles • Exocrine glands • Arrector pili • Sensory Receptors
Layers beneath the skin • Subcutaneous layer • Deep fascia ________________________
Functions of the Skin • Protection • Water-resistance • Temperature regulation • Vitamin D synthesis • Sensations • Immunity • Social signaling
The Epidermis • Stratum Germinativum • Stem cells • Melanocytes • Merkel cells
The Epidermis • S. Spinosum • “Pre-keratinocytes” • Melanocytes • Langerhans cells
The Epidermis • S. Granulosum • S. Lucida • Keratinocytes in both layers
The Epidermis • S. Corneum • Dead keratinocytes
The Dermis • Reticular layer • Dense irregular CT • Provides strength and elasticity
The Dermis • Papillary layer • Areolar CT • Contains cap’s and sensory neurons for epidermis • Arranged as dermal papillae
Pigmentation • Melanin • Carotene • Hemoglobin
Epidermal Derivatives • Hair Follicles and Hair • Skin Glands
Hair • Function • Protection • Touch Sensation • Structure • Root • Shaft • Bulb
Hair • Hair Follicle • Sheath of epithelial cells • Surrounds root • Merges with bulb
Hair • Associated structures • Dermal papilla • Sebaceous glands • Arrector pili
Hair • Growth Cycle • 2-5 yrs: growth stage • 2 yrs: resting stage
Sebaceous glands secrete sebum help to protect hair and skin Skin Glands
Merocrine (eccrine) sweat glands BT control excretion protection Skin Glands
Skin Glands • Apocrine sweat glands • Secrete pheromones?
Skin Glands • Mammary glands • Ceruminous glands
Skin Sensory Receptors • Free nerve endings • Pacinian corpuscles • Meissner’s corpuslces
