INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM SKIN& BODY MEMBRANES
2
MEMBRANES Structure: Thin, sheet like structureStructure: Thin, sheet like structure Functions:Functions: –Cover and protect the body surface –Line the body cavities –Cover the inner surface of the hollow organs (digestive, reproductive, respiratory) –Anchor organs to each other or to bones –Cover internal organs –Secrete lubricating fluids that reduce friction during organ movements
3
Two Types of Body Membranes Epithelial MembranesEpithelial Membranes –Cutaneous membrane (skin) –Serous membranes (protection/reduce friction for organs) –Mucous membrane (line body surfaces opening directly to the exterior– such as the esophagus; mucus secretion) Connective Tissue Membrane (no epithelium)Connective Tissue Membrane (no epithelium) –Smooth & slick, secrete synovial fluid –Reduce friction b/w opposing bones, line bursa sacs
4
SEROUS MEMBRANES Two Layers:Two Layers: –Visceral: covers the surface of the organ –Parietal: lines the walls of the body cavity Thoracic Cavity=PleuraThoracic Cavity=Pleura Abdominal Cavity=PeritoneumAbdominal Cavity=Peritoneum
5
SKIN FUNCTIONSFUNCTIONS –Protection against microbes, UV rays, harmful chemicals, cuts & tears –Temperature regulations –Sense organ activity: touch, pressure, pain, temperature –Metabolic functions: synthesis of vitamin D
6
Skin: Structure Two Layers:Two Layers: –Epidermis outermost & thinnestoutermost & thinnest cells are very tightly packedcells are very tightly packed –Dermis deep & thickdeep & thick primarily connective tissueprimarily connective tissue loosely packedloosely packed Hypodermis (adipose tissue)Hypodermis (adipose tissue) –Deep to the skin/dermis –Layer of insulation

Stratum Germinativum/Basale Contains mainy germinativum (stem) cellsContains mainy germinativum (stem) cells Cells undergoing mitosisCells undergoing mitosis Forms strong bond between epidermis & dermisForms strong bond between epidermis & dermis Merkel CellsMerkel Cells Touch receptors MelanocytesMelanocytes Contain pigment melanin Scattered throughout basale layer

Stratum Spinosum “ Spiny Layer”“ Spiny Layer” Produced by division of stratum germinosumProduced by division of stratum germinosum 8-10 layers of keratinocytes bound by desmosomes8-10 layers of keratinocytes bound by desmosomes Cells begin to shrink until cytoskeletons stick out (spiny)Cells begin to shrink until cytoskeletons stick out (spiny) Cells continue to divide – increasing thickness of skinCells continue to divide – increasing thickness of skin Langerhans CellsLangerhans Cells Active in immune response

Dermis Collagen, elastin fibers– scatteredCollagen, elastin fibers– scattered
15
Dermal-epidermal junction Dermal papillae: parallel rows of peg-like projectionsDermal papillae: parallel rows of peg-like projections –Unique to each individual=Fingerprints
16
Dermis Specialized structures:Specialized structures: –Hair follicle: cells of the epidermis extend into the dermis forming a small tube –Hair bulb: base of the follicle –Hair papilla: cluster of cells (live); nourished by BV’s –Root: part of hair hidden in follicle –Shaft: visible part of hair
19
Dermis Specialized Structures (continued)Specialized Structures (continued) –Arrector pili: tiny, smooth muscle attached to base of dermal papillae & side of hair follicle Contracts: pulls on both simultaneously>>goosebumpsContracts: pulls on both simultaneously>>goosebumps
21
Nails Plates of epithelial cells with keratinPlates of epithelial cells with keratin Protect distal end of phalangesProtect distal end of phalanges Cells are keratinized in nail rootCells are keratinized in nail root Nail growth occurs in lanulaNail growth occurs in lanula Cuticle is fold of stratum corneum on proximal end of nailCuticle is fold of stratum corneum on proximal end of nail
22
Specialized Structures of the Dermis Sebaceous GlandsSebaceous Glands –Secrete oil (sebum) for hair/skin –Ducts open into hair follicles –Production controlled by hormones –Accumulated sebum enlarges ducts>>white heads –Darkened sebum>>black head
24
Specialized Structures of Dermis Sudoriferous GlandsSudoriferous Glands –Eccrine Glands WidespreadWidespread Watery Fluid; sweatWatery Fluid; sweat Stimulated by increased body temperatureStimulated by increased body temperature –Apocrine Glands Armpits/GenitalsArmpits/Genitals Thick/milky fluidThick/milky fluid Odor if bacteria presentOdor if bacteria present Stimulated by nerves during play, stress, sexual activityStimulated by nerves during play, stress, sexual activity
26
Pacinian Corpuscle: deep in the dermis; detects pressure
27
Close to the surface; light touch
28
Krause’s end bulb: touch/ low frequency vibration; cold

33
BlistersBlisters Friction separates layers of epidermis or epidermis from dermis Tissue fluid collects in space CallusesCalluses Caused by pressure Increase in pressure causes increased mitosis Increased mitosis creates thicker epidermis Conditions

Burns Classified according to severityClassified according to severity Infection most important threat; leading cause of deathInfection most important threat; leading cause of death Rule of NinesRule of Nines Estimates volume of fluid loss Determines how much body surface is burned Body divided into 11 areas (each 9% of body) 1% area surrounding genitals
