The Integumentary System The parts of the integument: Skin Sweat and Oil glands hairs Nails
The Integumentary System: The Skin The skin is pliable yet tough, allowing it to take constant punishment from external organs. Facts: Covers 2. 2 meters, weighs 4 to 5 kg, and accounts for about 7% of total body weight in the average. Thickness varies from 1. 5 to 4. 0 mm or more in some areas. Millions of dead cells rub off daily A totally new epidermis every 25 to 45 days The average person sheds 18 kg (40 lbs) of skin flakes in a lifetime
The Skin
The Skin: Epidermis The epidermis is a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium consisting of four distinct cell types or five distinct layers. Cells of the epidermis: 1. Keratinocyte produce keratin 2. melanocyte produce melanin 3. Langerhans’ cell are macrophages 4. Merkel cells (epidermal dendritic cells) function as a sensory receptors for touch
Layers of the Epidermis Thick skin: covers the Thin skin: covers the rest palms, fingertips, and soles of the feet Five Layers (strata) from deep to superficial 1. stratum basale 2. stratum spinosum 3. stratum granulosum 4. stratum lucidum 5. stratum corneum of the body **stratum lucidum is absent and the other strata are thinner
The Skin: Dermis The dermis, composed mainly of dense, irregular connective tissue, is well supplied with blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. Cutaneous receptors, glands, and hair follicles reside within the dermis
Layers of the dermis From superficial to deep: 1. papillary layer exhibits dermal papillae that protrude into the epidermis above and the epidermal ridges that produce fingerprints. 2. reticular layer is thicker and the connective tissue fibers are much more densely interwoven.
Skin Color Skin color reflects the amount of pigments (melanin and carotene) in the skin and the oxygenation level of hemoglobin in blood 1. Melanin is the only pigment made in the skin. ranges in color from yellow, redish brown, to black Stimulated by exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight and protects the nuceli from damaging effects of UV radiation
Homeostatic Imbalance � 1. stiae = stretch marks �Tears in the dermis � 2. blisters = separation of dermis and epidermis
Homeostatic imbalance �Excessive sun exposure can �cause clumping of elastin fibers, leading to leathery skin, �temporarily depresses the immune system �Alter the DNA of skin cells which may cause cancer
Homeostatic Imbalance � 1. Cyanosis = poorly oxygenated blood
Homeostatic imbalance �Redness, or erythema = redding of skin �Pallor or blanching
Homeostatic balance �Jaundice or yellow cast =
Homeostatic imbalance �Bronzing = http: //www. aldfoundation. org/materials. html
Homeostatic imbalance �Black-and-blue marks; bruises; hematomas
Appendages of the Skin appendages, which derive from the epidermis, include: Hairs Hair follicles Nails Glands
Sweat (Sudoriferous) Glands �Found all over the body except the nipples and the external genitalia �More than 2. 2 million person
Sweat glands: Eccrine glands �Merocirne glands �Found over most of the body �Thermoregulation �Sweat is 99% water �Salts, Vit C. , antibodies, metabolic wastes and lactic acid
Sweat Gland: apocrine �Largely confinded to the axillary and anogenital areas �Larger than eccrine glands and their ducts empty along hair follicles �Start production around puberty �Function is unknown �Cerunminous glands �Mammary glands
Sebaceous (oil) glands �Located all over body except palms of hands �Sebum �Functions to softens and lubricates the hair and skin �Prevents hair from becoming brittle, and slows water loss from the skin �Bacterialcidal action
Homeostatic imbalance �Whiteheads �Blackheads �Acne �Seborrhea “cradle cap”
Hairs and Hair Follicles �Hair: �main function is sensory protection
