CH. 13 Personal Health Care
SWU the structure and function of the skin, hair, and nails. If you have any colored pencil or paper, please bring them tomorrow
2
SKIN---Structure *Skin is the largest organ on the human body.
*The skin consists of two main layers: the epidermis and the dermis. *Subcutaneous layer- a layer of fat and connective tissue located beneath the dermis. *Cells in the epidermis make lipids which makes your body waterproof. Dermis contains the sebaceous glands which helps skin from drying out. Sweat Glands are structures within the dermis that secrete perspiration through ducts Melanin is the pigment that gives the skin, hair, and iris of the eyes color.

SKIN--- Function Skin protects you from pathogens, regulates your body temperature, and helps you feel sensations. Protection- Barrier to prevent bacteria and viruses from entering. Temperature control- Skin dilates to allow heat to escape. Sensation- Major sense organ: Pressure, pain, heat, cold Immunity-macrophages destroy invading pathogens. Excretion- SWEAT is excess water and dissolved wastes. Vitamin D synthesis- makes VD when exposed to UV radiation Interpersonal communication- Automatically expresses some emotions ( pale & blushing)
5
Keeping your Skin Healthy
Wash face 2 times a day Wash you body everyday AVOID touching your face with your hands Avoid allergic reactions. Eat plenty of vitamins & minerals: Vitamin A Milk Green and yellow vegetables Liver
6
Skin Problems Acne- clogged pores become infected and pus forms.
Warts are caused by viruses and can be spread through direct physical contact. Boils form when hair follicles become infected. Do not burst or squeeze a boil. Dermatitis, or eczema, is inflamed skin usually caused by an allergic reaction. Vitiligo occurs when patches of skin lose melanin and have no pigment.
7
Skin Problems Fungal infections are spread by contact with skin, clothing, or in public showers. Moles are usually harmless, but they can develop into melanoma, which can be deadly.
8
Melanoma This is the MOST SERIOUS form of skin Cancer.
Tanned skin is a sign that skin has been damaged by UV rays. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to skin cancer. Early detection and treatment are critical in controlling the spread of melanoma. Regularly checking the appearance of your moles is important for the early detection of melanoma.

Skin Problems Asymmetry Border Irregularity Color Diameter
The ABCD’S of Melanoma An imaginary line drawn through the center of the mole does not produce matching halves. Asymmetry Border Irregularity Non-cancerous moles have smooth edges. Suspect moles often have irregular edges. Look for moles that are intensely black, possibly with a bluish tint, or that have an uneven color. Color Check for moles that are wider across than the width of a pea. Diameter
11
HAIR Hair structure- Dead cells. Living cells in the epidermis make new hairs and cause hair to grow. Hair grows on every surface of the skin, except for the palms of the hand and the soles of the feet. Hair follicles: Sacs or cavities that surround the roots of hairs. Hair function- Protects the skin from UV light Helps maintain body Heat
12
Hair Problems Dandruff- Dead skin cells that are shed as sticky white flakes. Head lice- Tiny parasitic insects that live in scalp hair.
13
Nails Nail Structure- Your fingernails and toenails are made of closely packed dead cells that contain keratin. Nail Function- help protect your fingers and toes.

Lesson 2 – Teeth and Mouth
Parts of the tooth The periodontium supports the tooth and holds it in place. periodontium is made up of the gum, ligaments, and the jawbone. Three main parts to every tooth Crown- visible portion of the tooth Neck- between the crown and root Root- In the gum
16
Parts of a Tooth Enamel- hard substance made of calcium. Dentin- beneath enamel. It is a layer of connective tissue that contributes to the shape and hardness of a tooth. Protected by the overlying layers of dentin and enamel, the pulp extends into the root canal. Mastication- The process of chewing
17
Parts of a Tooth Crown Neck Root

Parts of a Tooth enamel dentin gum gingivia
pulp cavity with nerves and vessels cementum periodontal ligaments periodontal membrane root canal bone
19
Keeping Teeth Healthy Oral hygiene, which includes brushing and flossing your teeth, is necessary for healthy, clean teeth. Tooth decay occurs when the enamel is destroyed and bacteria penetrate the tooth. Plaque damages the tooth by coating it, sealing out the saliva that normally protects the tooth from bacteria.
20
Keeping Your Teeth and Mouth Healthy
If plaque builds up, acids produced by bacteria break down the tooth enamel, resulting in a cavity. If decay spreads down to the pulp, the tooth may have to be removed.
21
Mouth Problems Halitosis can be caused by eating certain foods, poor oral hygiene, smoking, bacteria on the tongue, decayed teeth, and gum disease. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is caused by bacterial infection. *When plaque hardens, it builds up tartar, a hard, crustlike substance, and causes the gums to become irritated and swollen. *This is called gingivitis. If left untreated, the bone and tissue that support the teeth are destroyed, and teeth can be lost. Malocclusion- misalignment of teeth
22
Lesson 3- Your Eyes Your eyes sit in bony sockets, called orbits, at the front of your skull. A layer of fat cushions each eyeball inside its socket. The lacrimal gland secretes tears into the eye through ducts. Tears keep the surface of the eyeball moist and clear of foreign particles.
23
Parts of the Eye sclera cornea choroid iris vitrius humor pupil lens
optic nerve retina cornea iris pupil lens aqueous humor
24
Lesson 3- Eyes Rods are light sensitive cells that allow us to see in dim light. Cones are light sensitive cells that allow us to see in bright light and in color . The two main parts: Optic Nerve & Layers of the Eyeball
25
Parts of the Eye Words in black are definitions
Protects the inner eye and supports and shapes the eyeball WHITE PART Sclera Bends and focuses light before it enters the lens Cornea Choroid Lines the inside of the sclera Iris Contracts and dilates the pupil Regulates the amount of light that reaches the inner eye Pupil
26
Parts of the Eye Words in black are definitions
Retina Inner layer of the eye wall Optic Nerve Transmits nerve impulses to the brain Lens Helps refine the focus of images on the retina Aqueous Humor Provides nutrients to the eye Helps the eyeball stay firm and keeps the retina in place Vitreous Humor
27
Vision – 20/20 Nearsightedness, or Myopia Farsightedness, or Hyperopia
Common Vision Disorders Nearsightedness, or Myopia The inability to see distant objects clearly Farsightedness, or Hyperopia The inability see close objects clearly Astigmatism Blurred vision Strabismus Eyes off-center, turned inward or outward Detached Retina Blurred vision or bright flashes of light
28
Vision Infections and Viruses Glaucoma Cataracts Macular Degeneration
Common Vision Problems Infections and Viruses Swelling, irritation, blurred vision, change in sclera color Cloudy, impaired vision, can cause permanent damage Glaucoma Cataracts Foggy vision Macular Degeneration Vision loss Laser treatment is the method for treating glaucoma
29
Ears Tinnitus is a condition in which a person hears a ringing or buzzing in their ear, when there is no external sound. Auditory Ossicles- three small bones linked together that connect the eardrum to the inner ear. Three main parts: Outer, Middle, Inner. Labyrinth- Inner Ear A structure a part of the Outer Ear is the Auricle
30
Functions & Problems of the Ear
Functions: Hearing & Balance Two Categories of Hearing Loss: Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is not conducted efficiently through the outer earcanal to the eardrum and the tiny bones (ossicles) of the middle ear. Conductive hearing loss usually involves a reduction in sound level or the ability to hear faint sounds. This type of hearing loss can often be corrected medically or surgically. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) occurs when there is damage to the inner ear (cochlea), or to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain. Most of the time, SNHL cannot be medically or surgically corrected. This is the most common type of permanent hearing loss.
