Integumentary System Overview • Composed of skin (integument), and its appendages (hair, nails, sweat glands and sebaceous glands) • Protects body for injury or intrusion of microorganisms • Helps regulate body temperature • Houses receptors for sense of touch
Skin • Largest organ in the body • Divided into an outer layer and an inner layer: • epidermis — outer layer • dermis (corium) — inner layer
The Skin (continued)
Epidermis • Consists of several layers of stratified squamous (scale like) epithelium: • basal layer — innermost layer • basal cells are constantly being pushed up, moving older cells to the surface • melanocytes — produce pigment (melanin) which gives color to the skin • squamous layer — outermost layer
Dermis (Corium) • Connective tissue layer • Contains: • blood and lymphatic vessels • nerve and nerve endings • glands • hair follicles • network of elastic and collagen fibers (gives skin elasticity and toughness)
Subcutaneous Layer • Layer below the dermis • Composed of loose connective tissue and adipose (fatty) tissue
Lesions • Areas of pathologically altered tissue • Two types: • primary • secondary
Primary Lesions: pg 111-112 • Lesions arising from previously normal skin • Flat, nonpalpable changes in skin color: macule, patch • Elevated, palpable, solid mass: papule, wheal • Elevation formed by fluid within a cavity: vesicle, bulla, pustule
Secondary Lesions: pg112-114 • Lesions that result in changes in primary lesions • Types: • Loss of skin surface: erosion, ulcer, excoriation, fissure • Material on skin surface: scale, crust • Other secondary lesions: keloid, nevus, verruca
Secondary Lesions cont’d… • Lesions of a blood vessel (also a secondary lesion) • cherry angioma — round, bright red blood vessel tumor often seen on trunk • telangiectasia (spider angioma) — radiate from central arteriole most often found on face, neck or chest Vascular Lesions
Secondary Lesions cont’d… • Lesions as a result of hemorrhages in the skin • petechia — minute hemorrhagic spot — indicates a bleeding tendency • ecchymosis — bruise Purpuric Lesions
Secondary Lesions cont’d… • Skin tumors arising from the epidermis • dysplastic nevus — mole with precancerous changes • verruca — wart; caused by a virus Epidermal Tumors
