Maintaining homeostasis through temp. regulation 2. Protects underlying tissues 3. Prevents water loss 4. Houses sensory receptors 5. Synthesizes chemicals 6. Excretes wastes

a. Stratified squamous epithelium b. Lacks blood vessels
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1. Epidermis a. Stratified squamous epithelium b. Lacks blood vessels c. Reproducing cells in the stratum basale at the base of the epidermis contains dermal blood vessels.

d. Keratinization – dead cells push to the surface and harden
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. d. Keratinization – dead cells push to the surface and harden e. Layers Stratum corneum Stratum lucidum Stratum granulosum Stratum spinosum Stratum basale Basement membrane
10
f. Function g. Melanocytes
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. f. Function 1. Protects against water loss, injury, chemicals, and microorganisms. g. Melanocytes 1. Deep in the epidermis and underlying dermis 2. Pigment, melanin protects deeper cells ultraviolet rays. 3. Pass melanin to nearby cells by cytocrine secretion.

CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. h. Skin Color 1. Genetic differences result from differing amounts of melanin and the size of melanin granules 2. Sunlight causes darkening of skin as melanin production increases

CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 2. Dermis a. Binds epidermis to underlying tissues b. Connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers within a gel-like ground substance. c. Blood vessels carry nutrients to upper layers of skin and help regulate temperature. d. Contains nerve fibers, sensory fibers, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands.
14
3. Subcutaneous Layer (Hypodermis)
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3. Subcutaneous Layer (Hypodermis) a. Loose connective tissue and insulating adipose tissue. b. Binds skin to underlying organs and contains blood vessels.
15
1. Hair Follicles Accessory Organs of the Skin
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Accessory Organs of the Skin 1. Hair Follicles a. Nearly all regions of the skin. b. Individual hairs develop at the base of the hair follicle when the lower epidermis dips down into the dermis. c. Keratinization forms the hair shaft.

Attach to each hair follicle. Cause goose bumps. e. Hair color
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. d. Arrector pili muscle Attach to each hair follicle. Cause goose bumps. e. Hair color 1. Melanin from melanocytes is responsible for most hair colors 2. Red hair contains the pigment, trichosiderin.
18
2. Sebaceous Glands (holocrine glands)
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 2. Sebaceous Glands (holocrine glands) Associated with hair follicles Secrete sebum to waterproof and moisturize hair shafts.

3. Nails a. Protective coverings on ends of fingers and toes.
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 3. Nails a. Protective coverings on ends of fingers and toes. Consist of stratified squamous epithelial cells Lunula - most actively growing region of the nail root. c. Keratinization
21
4. Sweat Glands (Sudoriferous glands)
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 4. Sweat Glands (Sudoriferous glands) Eccrine respond to body temperature Apocrine respond to body temperature, stress, and sexual arousal. c. Ceruminous glands secrete wax in the ear canal. d. Mammary glands secrete milk.
22
Regulation of Body Temperature
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Regulation of Body Temperature A. Vital to maintaining metabolic reactions. B. Hypothalamus controls regulation. C. Active cells, such as those of the heart and skeletal muscle, produce heat. D. Excessive heat - dilation of dermal blood vessels and sweating. E. Excessive cooling - constricting dermal blood vessels, inactivating sweat glands, and shivering.
24
Healing of Wounds and Burns
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Healing of Wounds and Burns Inflammation - blood vessels dilate and become permeable Cause tissues to become red and swollen Superficial cuts are filled in by reproducing epithelial cells. Deeper cuts are closed off by clots, covered by scabs, and eventually filled in by fibroblasts. 1. Blood vessels extend into the area, injured tissues are replaced, and the scab falls off
25
Burns First Degree Epidermis only Second Degree Epidermis and dermis
Third Degree Destroys epidermis, dermis, and accessory organs
26
