  1. The Integumentary System

  2. 1 organ + accessory organs • Skin is an organ • Accessory organs • Hair follicles • Sebaceous glands • Sweat glands • nails

  3. Like other organs • Skin is made of many tissues • Has many functions

  4. Cutaneous Membrane • Another name for skin • What are the other two epithelial membranes? • Hint: end of chapter 5 Serous Mucous

  5. Functions • Protection • Excretion • Maintain homeostasis • Sensory reception • Blood reservoir • immunity Memorize this!!

  6. 2 Distinct Regions • Epidermis • Dermis

  7. Functions • Physical Barrier • Water loss • Injury • Chemicals & microbes

  8. Chemical Barrier • pH of 5-6 • Prevents microorganism growth

  9. Biological Barrier • Langerhan’s cells • Macrophages and mast cells

  10. Excretion • Urea – waste product from metabolizing protein (colorless, odorless). Excreted in sweat and urine. Used in cosmetic products. • Uric acid (guano) – different chemical compound. Leads to kidney stones. Only excreted through urine. Minimal compared to kidneys 99% water

  11. Regulate Body Temperature • Too hot? • Too cold? Vessels constrict and sweating stops RADIATION and DILATION

  12. Cutaneous Sensation

  13. Nerve Fibers • Associated with muscles, glands and sensory receptors.

  14. Vitamin D Synthesis

  15. Blood Reservoir

  16. Structure of Epidermis BOYS SAY GIRLS LOVE CHOCOLATE

  17. Keritanization • Process that converts basale skin cells into dead, flattened, hardened bags of keratin protein. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKosGSm7Ps4

  18. Melanocytes

  19. Epidermis • Main Job: Protection • Waterproofing • Protect lower layers from trauma • Barrier against microorganisms and chemicals

  20. Dermis • Papillary layer (20%) • Loose areolar CT • Reticular layer (80%) • Dense irregular CT

  21. Papillary Layer Papillary layer Reticular Layer

  22. Dermal Papilla = fingerprints

  23. Reticular Layer Meissner’s Corpuscle Pacinian Corpuscle

  24. Subcutaneous Layer(hypodermis) Adipose Tissue And Loose CT

  25. Accessory Organs I Hair papilla

  26. Hair • Root vs. shaft • Growth influenced by nutrition and testosterone • Alopecia

  27. Accessory Organs II Specialized Epithelial Cells

  28. Accessory Organs III • Skin glands • Sebaceous • Sudoriferous (Sweat) • Merocrine • Apocrine Stinky and associated with hair follicles

  29. Sudoriferous Glands • Eccrineor Sweat Glands • (Merocrine)

  30. Sudoriferous Glands • Apocrine glands – found in axillary regions

  31. Sebaceous (Oil) Glands • Secrete sebum oil • Blackheads & Acne

  32. Accessory Organs • All of these accessories are located in the dermis, but they are derived from embryonic epidermal cells!

  33. Skin Color • Melanin production controlled by several genes. • UV exposure darkens melanin and stimulates melanocytes to produce more pigment

  34. Darker or Lighter? • Same # melanocytes • More melanin • Large, single pigment granules • Same # melanocytes • Less melanin • Smaller granules in groups of 2 to 4

  35. Melanin • Brown or black • Protects deeper layers from UV • Freckles • Albinism • Vitiligo

  36. Other pigments • Carotene in the dermis • Hemoglobin in capillaries

  37. Skin Color Clues Cyanosis • Cyanosis • Jaundice • Erythema • Pallor • Bronzing • Bruises Jaundice Erythema

  38. Healing Wounds • Shallow Cuts • Increased production in stratum basale • Deeper Cuts • Inflammation • Blood clotting • Scabbing • Fibroblast infiltration • Scab falls off

  39. Wound Healing Injury GRANULATION Tissue (vessel + fibroblasts) Scab = dried blood and tissue Blood leaves vessels Clot forms FIBROBLASTS form new CT Scab falls off

  40. Granulation Tissue

  41. Healing burns • First degree (superficial partial-thickness) • Epidermis only • Redding from increased blood flow • Mild pain • Heals in a few days or weeks

  42. 2nd Degree Burns(Deep Partial-thickness) • Epidermis and Dermis • Redness, Blisters • Moderate Pain • Heals in 2-6 weeks without scars

  43. 3rd Degree Burn • Full-thickness burn • Possible subcutaneal damage • Prolonged heat or chemical contact • Requires a graft

  44. Life-Span Changes • Patches of pigments (AGE SPOTS) • Wound repair is slower • Less oil • Slowed melanin production = gray hair • Less Vitamin D synthesis • Shrinking vessels & glands • Shrinking dermis & loss of fat = wrinkles & sagging • Fewer pain/pressure receptors

  45. Skin Cancer • Basal Cell Carcinoma • Originates from basal cell keratinocytes • Open sores, red patch, bump or scar • Over 40, light skin • Can be disfiguring but not life threatening

  46. Skin Cancer • Squamous Cell Carcinoma • Least malignant & most common • Keratinocytes in stratum spinosum

  47. Skin Cancer • Cutaneousmelanoma • Cancer of melanocytes • Fair skinned people who get a few blistering sunburns

  48. Don’t forget your sunscreen.
