Learning Objectives List the components of the integumentary system, including their physical relationships. Specify the functions of the integumentary system. Describe the main features and functions of the epidermis and dermis. Discuss individual and racial differences in skin. Discuss the effects of UV light on the epidermis. Explain the structure and function of the various accessory organs of the skin. Explain how the skin responds to injury and aging.
3
Cutaneous membrane Epidermis Dermis Accessory structures Subcutaneous layer The Integumentary System: An Overview The integumentary system consists of
4
Protection Excretion Temperature maintenance Nutrient storage Vitamin D3 synthesis Sensory detection Integumentary system functions:
5
The Components of the Integumentary System
6
The epidermis is composed of layers of keratinocytes Thin skin = four layers (strata) Thick skin = five layers The Epidermis Thin Skin and Thick Skin
7
Provides mechanical protection Prevents fluid loss Keeps microorganisms from invading the body The epidermis
8
Stratum germinativum Stratum spinosum Stratum granulosum Stratum lucidum Stratum corneum Layers of the epidermis:
9
The Epidermal Ridges of Thick Skin
10
Cells accumulate keratin and eventually are shed Epidermal ridges are interlocked with dermal papillae Fingerprints Improve gripping ability Langerhans cells (immunity) in s. spinosum Merkel cells (sensitivity) in s. germinativum Epidermal characteristics:
11
The Structure of the Epidermis
12
Blood supply Carotene and melanin Melanocytes produce melanin and protect from UV radiation Epidermal pigmentation Interrupted blood supply leads to cyanosis Skin color depends on
13
Melanocytes
14
Synthesize vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) when exposed to UV Respond to epidermal growth factor Growth Division Repair Secretion Epidermal cells
15
Papillary layer Contains blood vessels, lymphatics, sensory nerves of epidermis Reticular layer Contains network of collagen and elastic fibers to resist tension The Dermis Dermal Organization
16
Dermal Circulation
17
Caused by excessive stretching of the dermis Patterns of collagen and elastic fibers form lines of cleavage Stretch marks
18
Lines of Cleavage of the Skin
19
Cutaneous plexus arteries found in subcutaneous layer/ papillary dermis Cutaneous sensory receptors (light touch, pressure) Dermal Circulation and innervation
20
Stabilizes skins position against underlying organs and tissues The Subcutaneous Layer Hypodermis
21
Originate in hair follicle Composed of root and shaft Root base (hair papilla) surrounded by hair bulb and root hair plexus Hairs have soft medulla and hard cortex Cuticle = superficial dead protective layer Accessory Structures Hairs
22
the Anatomy of a Single Hair
23
Vellus hairs (peach fuzz) Terminal hairs ( heavy) Club hair (cessation of growth) Shed and grow according to hair growth cycle Arrector pili muscle attaches to hair Hair types
24
Hair Follicles
25
Sebaceous Suderiferous Mammary Ceruminous Glands in the skin
26
Discharge waxy sebum onto hair shaft when associated with hairs Sebaceous follicles discharge onto epidermal surface Sebaceous glands
27
Sebaceous Glands and Follicles
28
Apocrine sweat glands Produce odorous secretion Merocrine (eccrine) sweat gland Sensible perspiration Suderiferous glands
29
Sweat Glands
30
Mammary glands Structurally similar to apocrine sweat glands Ceruminous glands In ear, produce waxy cerumen Other glands
31
Nail body covers the nail bed Nail production occurs at the nail root Eponychium (cuticle) overlies root Free edge of nail extends over hyponychium Nails
32
The Structure of a Nail
33
Regenerates easily Regeneration process includes formation of Scab Granulation tissue Scar tissue Local Control of Integumentary Function Injury and repair
34
Integumentary Repair
36
Integument thins Blood flow decreases Cellular activity decreases Repairs occur more slowly Aging and the Integumentary System With age
37
The components of the integumentary system, including their physical relationships. The functions of the integumentary system. The main features and functions of the epidermis and dermis. Individual and racial differences in skin. The effects of UV light on the epidermis. The structure and function of the various accessory organs of the skin. How the skin responds to aging. You should now be familiar with:
