Anatomy of the Integumentary System
Skin consists of two different layers: The epidermis is categorized as epithelial tissue and covers the external surface of the body. The epidermis also includes the mucous membranes that line the walls of internal cavities that connect to the outside of the body. The dermis is categorized as connective tissue. 8
9
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Epidermis This is the thin, outermost layer of the skin. It contains cells that have no nuclei and are filled with keratin, a hard, fibrous protein. These cells form a protective layer, but they are dead cells, so they are constantly being shed or sloughed off in the process known as exfoliation. 9
10
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Epidermis (cont’d) The deepest part (basal layer) of the epidermis is composed of living cells that are constantly dividing and being forced to the surface (exfoliation). Does not contain any blood vessels; it receives nutrients and oxygen from the blood vessels in the dermis 10
11
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Epidermis (cont’d) Contains melanocytes, pigment cells that produce melanin, a dark brown or black pigment that absorbs ultraviolet light from the sun to protect the DNA in skin cells from undergoing genetic mutations 11
12
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Dermis A thicker layer of skin beneath the epidermis Contains collagen fibers (firm, white protein) and elastin fibers (elastic, yellow protein) Contains arteries, veins, and neurons (nerve cells), as well as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands A dermatome is a specific area on the skin that sends sensory information to the spinal cord. 12

Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Subcutaneous Tissue A loose, connective tissue directly beneath the dermis of the skin Composed of adipose tissue or fat that contains lipocytes (fat-storing cells) Provides a layer of insulation to conserve internal body heat 15
16
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Subcutaneous Tissue (cont’d) Can be thin or as thick as several inches Subcutaneous layer also acts as a cushion to protect the bones and internal organs 16
17
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Sebaceous and Sweat Glands Sebaceous glands are a type of exocrine gland in the dermis that secrete sebum through a duct into a hair follicle. Also known as oil glands. Sweat glands are also exocrine glands. Sweat contains water, sodium, and small amounts of body waste (urea, ammonia, creatinine). 17
18
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Sebaceous and Sweat Glands (cont’d) Sweat glands help to regulate the body temperature. The process of sweating and the sweat itself are both known as perspiration. The sweat glands are also known as the sudoriferous glands. 18
19
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Hair Covers most of the body Additional facial, axillary, and pubic hairs appear during puberty. Forms in a hair follicle in the dermis 19
20
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Hair (cont’d) Melanocytes give color to the hair. Hair cells are filled with keratin, which makes the hair shaft strong. Usually, the hair lies flat on the surface of the skin, but when the skin is cold, a tiny erector muscle at the base of the hair follicle contracts and causes the hair to stand up (piloerection). 20
21
Anatomy of the Integumentary System (cont’d)
Nails Cover and protect the distal ends of the fingers and toes Each nail consists of a nail plate, nail bed, cuticle, lunula, and nail root. 21

Physiology of an Allergic Reaction
An allergy or allergic reaction is a hypersensitivity response to certain types of antigens known as allergens. Allergens include cells from plant and animal sources (foods, pollens, molds, animal dander), as well as dust, chemicals, and drugs. 23
24
Physiology of an Allergic Reaction (cont’d)
The basis of all allergic reactions is the release of histamine from basophils in the blood and mast cells in the connective tissue. A local reaction occurs when an allergen touches the skin or mucous membranes of a hypersensitive individual 24
25
Physiology of an Allergic Reaction (cont’d)
Histamine causes redness (inflammation), swelling (edema), irritation, and itching. 25
26
Physiology of an Allergic Reaction (cont’d)
A systemic reaction occurs when allergens are inhaled or ingested by, or injected into, a hypersensitive person, causing symptoms in several body systems. Histamine constricts the bronchioles, dilates the blood vessels throughout the body, and causes hives on the skin. 26
27
Physiology of an Allergic Reaction (cont’d)
Anaphylaxis is a severe systemic allergic reaction that can be life threatening; it is also known as anaphylactic shock. 27
