2
What do you think the functions of the skin are?
3
Integumentary System Skin Hair Nails
4
Functions Protect from injury Defense against illness Regulate body temp Prevents dehydration Senses environment
5
Skin 15% of your weight Largest organ Specialized Structures Integumentary System
6
Tissues of Skin Connective Epithelial Layers: Epidermis Dermis Subcutaneous
7
Epidermis Outermost layer Composed of epithelial cells
8
Epidermis Continued Outermost layer- flat, dead cells Filled with Keratin Protein that protects and waterproofs
9
Replacement of cells Mitosis occurs frequently Outermost cells scraped away New cells made at the basal layer
10
Other Cells of the Epidermis Melanocytes Innermost layer of epidermis Form melanin Pigment
11
Role of melanin Skin coloration Absorbs UV rays
12
Dermis Second layer Connective Tissue Elasticity Toughness
13
Specialized Cells of Dermis Hair follicles Nerve Cells Blood Vessels Sweat Glands Sebaceous glands Muscles
14
Subcutaneous Layer Below the dermis Composed of connective tissue (fat)
15
Functions of Subcutaneous Insulation Energy Storage Absorb Shock Varying amount of subcutaneous layer
16
Pacinian Corpuscle Detects pressure changes and vibrations
17
Hair Specialized epidermal cells Produced by hair follicle Dead cells filled with keratin
18
Hair Grows for average of 4 years Stops for around 3 months Falls out
19
Hair Color
20
Nails Specialized epidermal cells Cells in the cuticle make Newest cells near cuticle Filled with keratin
21
Skin Disorders Acne- overproduction of sebum Clogs pores Causes area to be infected, inflamed and pus filled
22
Skin Cancer Mutations to cells by overexposure to UV rays Carcinoma and melanoma Carcinoma= non- pigmented cells
23
Melanoma Cancer of melanocytes More dangerous metastasized
24
Function of Muscles Maintain posture Generate heat Stabilizes joints Produce movement
25
Muscle Tissue Skeletal Smooth Cardiac
26
Skeletal Tissue Voluntary Multi- nucleated Striated Attached to skeleton Biceps
27
Smooth Muscle Involuntary One nucleus per cell Not striated Lines organs
28
Cardiac Muscle Involuntary Striated Uni-nucleated Heart
29
Muscle attachment Tendon Insertion Origin
30
Muscle Pairs Antagonistic Flexor Extensor
32
Exercise ATP made by aerobic cellular respiration Needs Oxygen Occurs in mitochondria
33
Aerobic Respiration C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 → 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + ATP Intense Exercise?
34
Glycolysis Used to produce ATP when oxygen levels reduce Also called anaerobic respiration Takes place in cytoplasm Lack of ATP- break down fat and glycogen
35
Muscle Fatigue Muscle unable to generate force Caused by: More ATP is needed than can be produced
36
Fitness Aerobic Exercise Increases efficiency of the Heart
37
Resistance Training Increases size of muscle fibers
