3. I. Function of Body Membranes
A. Cover surfaces
B. Line body cavities
C. Form protective sheets around organs

4. II. Classification of Body Membranes
A. Epithelial Membranes (coverings and linings)
1. Cutaneous Membrane – Skin
a. Composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
b. Exposed to air, dry
c. Underlying dermis of dense connective tissue

5. 2. Mucous Membranes (Wet membranes)
a. Rest on loose connective tissue
b. Lines body cavities that are open to outside
c. Usually composed of stratified squamous epithelium or simple columnar epithelium
d. Adapted for absorption and secretion

6. 3. Serous Membranes
a. Composed of a layer of simple squamous epithelium
b. Rests on areolar connective tissue
c. Lines body cavities that are not exposed to the exterior
d. Secrete serous fluid to reduce friction

7. B. Connective Tissue Membranes
1. Synovial Membranes
a. Composed of areolar connective tissue
b. Surround joints

9. III. The Integumentary System (Skin)
A. Functions

10. B. Structure
1. Epidermis – outermost layer, stratified squamous epithelium
2. Dermis – dense connective tissue
3. Hypodermis – aka subcutaneous layer, composed of adipose tissue

11. 1. Composed of 5 layers called strata
C. Epidermis
1. Composed of 5 layers called strata
1. Stratum basale – deepest, constantly undergoing mitosis
2.Stratum spinosum
3. Stratum granulosum
4. Stratum lucidum – dead cells, not
always present
5. Stratum corneum – dead cells, 20 – layers thick
Inner Most
Keratin

level
Outer most

13. 2. Mostly composed of keratinocytes – cells that produce keratin (a protein)
3. Melanocytes – mostly found in stratum basale, produce melanin (pigment that darkens skin and ranges in color)

14. D. Dermis – contains collagen and elastic fibers
1. Papillary layer – upper layer of dermis, forms fingerprints, contains pain receptors
2. Reticular layer – lower layer, contains blood vessels, sweat and oil glands, pressure receptors

15. E. Skin Color
pigments – melanin (tan/brown), carotene (orange), hemoglobin (red/pink)

16. 2. Cyanosis – bluish tint due to lack of oxygen or abnormal hemoglobin

17. 3. Erythema – redness, due to embarrassment, allergy, or inflammation

18. 4. Pallor/Blanching – white, can be caused by fear, low blood pressure

19. 5. Jaundice – yellowing, usually due to liver disorder and build up of bilirubin (excess bile pigments)

20. 6. Hemotomas – bruises, clotted blood under skin from injury
7. Carotenosis – orange – too much carotene in diet

21. F. Skin appendages
1. Cutaneous glands – exocrine glands – release secretions through ducts
a. Sebaceous glands – secrete oil (called sebum), empty it into hair follicles

22. Sweat Glands – aka sudoriferous glands, over 2.5 million on the body
a. 2 kinds – eccrine (most everywhere) and apocrine (arm pits, groin area, become active at puberty)

23. 3. Hair and Hair follicles – follicle produces hair which is non-living
a. Arrector pili attached – goose bumps
b. Hair shaft – above skin
c. Hair root – below skin

24. IV. Common skin disorders
A. Athletes foot – fungal infection, itchy, red

25. B. Boils and carbuncles – inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands

26. C. Cold Sores – “fever blisters”, herpes viral infection

27. D. Dermatitis – redness, often from exposure to chemicals, poison ivy, allergens

28. E. Impetigo – staph infection, common in children, very contagious

29. F. Psoriasis – chronic, autoimmune disease, overproduction of skin cells

30. V. Burns
A. Caused by heat, electricity, uv radiation, chemicals
B. Degrees of damage
1. 1st degree – only damages epidermis

31. 2nd degree – burns upper regions of dermis, blisters form
3. 3rd degree – through all of dermis, often gray, white, black, destroys nerve endings

32. C. Rule of Nines
1. Used to determine severity of burns
2. Body is divided into 11 sections, each comprising 9% of the surface area of the body

33. Burns considered critical if
-Over 25% of body has 2nd degree burns
-Over 10% of body has 3rd degree burns
-There are 3rd degree burns on face, hands, or feet

34. VI. Skin Cancer
A. Basal Cell Carcinoma – most common, least often malignant, cancer of the stratum basale, the cells don’t form keratin, can invade dermis

35. B. Squamous cell carcinoma – starts in the stratum spinosum, usually sun-induced, tends to spread to lymph nodes

36. C. Malignant melanoma – most deadly, most likely to spread, begins in the melanocytes

37. D. ABCD Rules
