  1. Accessory Structures of the Skin(a.k.a. Skin Appendages) Hair Nails Glands

  2. You’ve seen this before!

  3. Hair

  4. Parts of a Hair • Root (beneath the skin) • Follicle (around the root) • Shaft (keratinized) • Hair bulb matrix (growth zone) • Papilla (projection of connective tissue)

  5. Hair

  6. Internal Structure of Hair • Internal structure of hair: • Medulla (core) • Cortex • Cuticle • Melanocytes = pigment-producing cells • Produce varying amounts and colors of pigment • Located in the cortex of the hair

  7. Around the Hair • Non-striatedarrectorpili muscles in the dermis connect to each side of the follicle • Sebaceous gland leads into the follicle

  8. Hair

  9. Nails

  10. Nails • A nail is a scale-like modification of the epidermis • Like claws or hooves • Nails are transparent, but look pink due to the blood supply of the underlying dermis

  14. Glands

  15. Glands • Cutaneous glands are all exocrine glands, which means they have ducts to release their secretions. • Two major types in the skin: 1) Sebaceous glands = oil glands 2) Sudoriferous glands = sweat glands

  16. Sebaceous Glands

  17. Sebaceous Glands • Found all over the skin except for the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet • Ducts mostly empty into hair follicles • Produce sebum = mixture of oily substances and fragmented cells • Lubricant

  18. Sebaceous Glands • Acne is an active infection of the sebaceous glands • Results in “pimples” or bumps on the skin • Caused by overproduction of oil, which blocks pores

  19. Sudoriferous Glands

  20. Sudoriferous Glands • Ducts lead to pores on surface of skin • Sweat = water plus salts, vitamin C, wastes, lactic acid • Functions: • To excrete waste • To inhibit growth of bacteria (sweat is acidic!) • To regulate body temperature
