3. Functions • Covers and protects the body What does the skin protect us from? • Pathogens • Injury • Ultra-violet radiation

4. Functions 2. Regulate body temperature How does it regulate temperature? • Sweating • Dilate/constrict of blood vessels • Goose bumps

5. subcutaneous Functions 3. Excretes Waste What wastes are excreted? Urea as sweat

6. Functions 4. Reduces water loss Keeps the body from drying out!

7. Functions 5. Houses sensory receptors Chemo Mechano Chemo Photo Mechano

8. There are 2 main layers of skin I. Epidermis II. Dermis

9. Stratum corneum Dead keratinocytes Stratum lucidum Stratum granulosum Lamellar granules Keratinocyte Langerhans cell Stratum spinosum Melanocyte Merkel cell Stratum basale Tactile disc Sensory neuron Dermis Epidermis Outer (surface) layers of skin 10-30 cells thick Two Parts: Inner part composed of living cells Outer part is of dead cells

10. Epidermis – Inner layers Lowest layer of cells reproduce and push older cells toward the surface. As cells near the surface, they flatten and their organelle disintegrate

11. Epidermis – Inner layers These cells also begin producing Keratin a tough, fibrous protein. This replaces cytoplasm.

12. Epidermis – Outer layers The Keratin producing cells die as they move toward the surface. Outer dead layer waterproofs and protects inner layers It is shed continually and is completely replaced in 2 - 4 weeks

13. Epidermis What do we find in the epidermis? Melanocytes What are melanocytes? Cells that produce melanin. What is melanin? A dark brown pigment What does melanin do? Gives skin it’s color Protects sensitive dermis from U-V radiation

14. Epidermis Melanocytes Do some people have more melanocytes than other people? NO!

15. Epidermis Skin pigmentation is due to the type and amount of melanin produced Eumelanin produces darker pigments Phaeomelanin produces lighter pigments and freckles These often occur together in varying amounts Melanocyte

16. Dermis Deeper layers of skin 10-20 times thicker than epidermis. Top layer arranged In ridges. Why are there ridges? Dermis

17. Dermis Ridges help the epidermis bind to the dermis. The uneven ridges create fingerprints Dermis

18. Accessory Organs of the Dermis 1. Hair follicles – tube-like depression where the hair develops

19. Accessory Organs of the Dermis 2. Sebaceous glands – secret oily sebum to soften and waterproof skin

20. Accessory Organs of the Dermis 3. Nails – protective covers of ends of fingers and toes.

21. Accessory Organs of the Dermis 4. Sweat glands: • secrete waste • regulate heat • produces ear wax • produces milk during lactation

22. Accessory Organs of the Dermis 5. Blood vessels – to nourish skin cells

23. Subcutaneous Accessory Organs of the Dermis 6. Nerves – to send and receive messages

24. subcutaneous Accessory Organs of the Dermis 7. Erector pilli muscle -smooth muscle -causes “goosebumps” -causes hair to stand erect

25. Subcutaneous layer – connective tissue Anchors dermis to the body Contains fat cells to protect and cushion Subcutaneous layer

26. Blood vessels Connective tissue Dermis Epidermis Fat cells Hair Hair follicle Muscle Neuron Sebaceous gland Subcutaneous layer Sweat gland Sweat pore Self Quiz L. M. I. H. A. B. A. G. K. L. B. J. J. F. D. I. C. K. C. D. H. E. E. M. G. F.

27. Disorders of the Skin Acne – infection of sebaceous gland

28. Disorders of the Skin Benign tumor – fleshy growths on neck, armpits and body. Harmless! Tumor

29. Disorders of the Skin Vascular Birthmarks – Blood vessel abnormality affecting .5% of population – darkens skin

30. Disorders of the Skin Dermatitis – dry, sensitive skin

31. Disorders of the Skin Nail Fungus

32. Disorders of the Skin Fungal infections Ring Worm Athlete’s Foot

33. Disorders of the Skin Impetigo – bacterial infection

34. Disorders of the Skin Psoriasis – chronic inflammation

35. Disorders of the Skin Melanoma Cancer Carcinoma

36. Disorders of the Skin Common wart Warts- viral infection Plane warts Plantar wart

37. Disorders of the Skin BurnsFirstdegree Seconddegree Thirddegree

38. Interesting Tidbits • Your body is composed of approximately 100 Trillion cells • About 16% of your body weight is skin • The skin is completely renewed every 27 days • You will make almost 1000 new skins in a lifetime • If all the layers of your skin were laid out on the ground, it would cover about 20 m2 or 2 parking spaces

39. Interesting Tidbits • A fingernail or toenail takes about 6 months to grow from base to tip • Fingernails grow faster than toenails • An average human scalp has 100,000 hairs • We lose between 40 and 100 hairs per day • Blondes have more hair than brunettes

40. Interesting Tidbits • Fingerprints provide traction for grasping objects • Even identical twins have different fingerprints • Every square inch of dermis contains twenty feet of blood vessels • Skin on our hands and feet is thicker. When we bathe, skin takes on water and swells slightly. • In the thicker areas, increased surface area creates crowding. The skin must wrinkle to accommodate the changes

41. Interesting Tidbits • Friction of the epidermis causes cell division to increase. • This outward thickening is called a callous. • Sometimes growth is inward, creating a corn. • Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin per hour – about 1.5 pounds per year. • At age 70, you will have lost about 105 lbs of skin.
