Objective: Know the components of the skin Homework: Read p. 138-141 (Skin Structure) Agenda: Hand out article PPT Sun block lab
2
Chapter 4
3
Guiding Question: What are the components of the integumentary system?
4
Not just a covering for the body Largest organ Blood vessels, connective tissue structures, glands, hair, nails, nerves, skin Plays a large role in homeostasis Has inherent and adaptive characteristics Calluses Darken in sun Elasticity Sensitive to moisture
5
Guiding Questions: 1.) What embryonic layers form the integumentary system? 2.) Describe the development of the integumentary system. 3.) What are some various causes of hair loss?
6
4-5 weeks: outermost layer of skin form a simple squamous tissue that becomes stratified as the embryo develops from the ectoderm In some areas forms nervous tissue that later becomes integrated into the skin structure. 6-7 weeks: deeper parts of skin begin to form from mesoderm. 8-9 wks: mesenchyme begins to mature and fibroblasts form, and dents occur in the upper squamous layer—form lanugo. 10 weeks: ridges form between the outer and inner layers of skin—so don’t separate when rubbed 11 weeks: small nails at the tips of fingers & toes, followed by development of special blood vessels in the layers of skin Angiogenic factors stimulate the production of these vessels 20 weeks: Glandular structures form Inward growths of the outermost squamous cell layer Will eventually produce oils and sweat 25 weeks: Pigmentation About 26 weeks: melanoblasts mature into melanocytes, and nervous tissue structures develop
7
Ectoderm & mesoderm in origin Skin is a complex structure Many things can go wrong in its development Let’s make a timeline!
9
What are the three major layers of the skin? Describe the basic characteristics of the three major layers of the skin (recommend a chart)
10
1. Epidermis: Epithelial Superficial & thinnest cells are very tightly packed New cells produced here 2. Dermis: Connective Deep to epidermis & thick Primarily connective tissue loosely packed cells 3. Subcutaneous/Hypodermis (adipose tissue) Deep to the skin/dermis Layer of insulation
12
Outermost: Stratum corneum Dry, dead, keratin filled (waterproof, tough) Stratum Granulosum Waterproof Contains granules of keratin Stratum Spinosum “Prickly” layer Contains Langerhans cells (fight infections)
13
Statum germinativum / basale Cells undergoing mitosis, move up and horizontally Contains malpighian layer or “Pigment layer” with melanosomes Forms epidermal ridges
15
Stratum corneum: Dead squamous cells Stratum corneum: Dead squamous cells Stratum Germanitivum/ Basale: dividing columnar cells Stratum Spinosum: cuboidal cells, desmosomes hold together >> spiny Stratum Spinosum: cuboidal cells, desmosomes hold together >> spiny Stratum granulosum: Granules with lipids and keratin – forms waterproof layer Stratum granulosum: Granules with lipids and keratin – forms waterproof layer Stratum lucidum: (only in thick skin); oils from lysosome disintegration
16
Specialized cells within epidermis: Melanocytes Melanin: pigment, inc. w/sun (protection) Keratinocytes Keratin: tough, waterproof material Abrasion resistance for cells Langerhans cells Immune response against microbes invading the skin
17
Second layer of the skin
18
Collagen, elastin fibers– scattered
19
Dense, irregular connective tissue Loose, connective tissue = areolar connective tissue Binds blood vessels, membranes, muscles, nerves, and skin to other structures Contains extensive meshwork of protein fibers (fibroblasts) Involved primarily in body growth Connective tissue maintenance Wound healing
20
Dermal papillae: parallel rows of peg-like projections Unique to each individual; akin to fingerprints
21
Third layer of the skin
22
Third, innermost layer of the skin Thickness, composition vary throughout body Composed of loosely-arranged elastic fibers that anchor the skin to the fascia Sheet of fibrous connective tissue Covers muscles, skull bones, some organs Large amount of adipose (fat) cells Large network of blood vessels, capillaries, lymphatic vessels
23
Glands Nerves Nails Hair
24
3 Types: Ceruminous Sebaceous Sweat
25
Produce cerumen (waxy secretion), an apocrine secretion (ear wax) Found lining ear canal
26
Holocrine glands (secrete whole dead cells) Produce, store abundance of fat, which burst and die, releasing sebum
27
Sebaceous Glands Secrete oil (sebum) for hair/skin Ducts open into hair follicles Accumulated sebum enlarges ducts>>white heads Darkened sebum>>black head
28
Sudoriferous Glands Eccrine Glands Widespread Watery Fluid Apocrine Glands Armpits/Genitals Thick/milky fluid
29
Aprocrine Odorous, sweat-like material in armpits, navel, groin region, areolae Inactive until puberty Contain phermones Broken down by bacteria, creating odor Eccrine Skin of armpits, foreheads, palms, soles Mostly secrete water, w/ salts, organic compounds, and wastes (like urea) Microbes feed on these as well, producing odors
31
Sensory receptors Communicate information from environment to the body Found in all skin layers Mostly in innermost regions, fascia Free nerve endings Pain-sensing structures Found throughout inner part of epidermis Detect chemicals associated with tissue damage and bleeding
33
Merkel cells Sensitive to gentle physical sensation Found in stratum germinativum Abundant in fingertips
34
Elongated, club-shaped pile of connective tissue Upper region of dermis (in dermal papilla) Respond to touch
35
Look like onions Deeper parts of hypodermis Hard pressure, vibrations
36
Pressure, constant touch
37
Sensitive touch receptors Found mostly in mucous membrane of mouth
38
Merely a keratin secretion Nail root Lies beneath skin-nail fold Grow back as long as nail root and skin-nail fold are not severely damaged Grow 1/8 in per month
39
Specialized structures: Hair follicle: cells of the epidermis extend into the dermis forming a small tube Hair bulb: base of the follicle Hair papilla: cluster of cells (live); nourished by BV’s Root: part of hair hidden in follicle Shaft: visible part of hair
40
Modified stratum corneum Grows from an individual follicle buried in subcutaneous layer
43
Specialized Structures (continued) Arrector pili: tiny, smooth muscle attached to base of dermal papillae & side of hair follicle Contracts: pulls on both simultaneously>>goosebumps
