Integumentary System Skin (cutaneous membrane or integument) Skin derivatives Sweat glands Oil glands Hair Nails
I. Skin Functions A. Protects deeper tissue from: 1. mechanical damage (bumps) - physical barrier (epidermis) contains keratin (protective protein) to toughen & waterproof cells, fat cells to cushion blows, & pressure receptors which alert the nervous system to possible damage 2. chemical damage (acids & bases) - relatively impermeable keratinized cells, pain receptors which alert the nervous system to possible damage
I. Skin Functions cont. 3. bacterial damage - has unbroken surface, has acid mantle where skin secretions are acidic, and thus inhibit bacteria 4. ultraviolet radiation (damaging effects of sunlight) - melanin (pigment) produced by melanocytes offers protection/suntan 5. thermal damage (hot or cold) - contains hot/cold/pain receptors 6. desiccation (drying out) - contains a waterproof glycolipid & protein
I. Skin Functions cont. B. Aids in body heat loss or heat retention - heat loss: activating sweat glands & allowing blood to flush into skin capillary beds so heat can radiate from skin surface - heat retention: NOT allowing blood to flush into skin capillary beds
I. Skin Functions cont. C. Aids in excretion of urea & uric acid - contained in perspiration produced by sweat glands D. Synthesizes Vitamin D - modified cholesterol molecules in the skin are converted to vitamin D when exposed to UV radiation/ sunlight

I CAN OBJECTIVES 1. I can describe the functions of the integument.
Skin Structure Epidermis outer layer Stratified squamous epithelium Often keratinized (hardened by the protein keratin) by keratinocytes/waterproof Dermis Dense connective tissue
Skin Structure Figure 4.3
I CAN OBJECTIVE 2. I can compare and contrast the tissue of the epidermis with that of the dermis.
Skin Structure Subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is deep to dermis Not part of the skin Anchors skin to underlying organs Composed mostly of adipose tissue
I CAN OBJECTIVE 3. I can describe the subcutaneous membrane.
White Board Review 1. Give one example of a function our skin protects us from. 2. Which feedback mechanism for homeostasis is in action in the Integumentary system? 3. Which integument layer is made up of stratified squamous epithelium? dense fibrous connective tissue? adipose connective tissue? 4. What other body system works with the Integumentary system to maintain our body temperature for homeostasis? 5. What vitamin is produced in our skin and in the presence of what?
At The Clinic Homeostasis & Integument Functions 1. Explain a scenario in which someone would have a Vitamin D deficiency. 2. The AHS track coach is explaining to his athletes the importance of staying fully hydrated when training outside in the heat. Why should these student athletes pay close attention and adhere to this? 3. The water of a swimming pool is hypotonic to our cells. Why do we not swell and pop when we go swimming? 4. After an athlete finishes an after school practice, they are redfaced and sweating. Which type of homeostatic feedback mechanism is in action? What variable are these symptoms trying to keep at an equilibrium? Which body systems are working together to achieve homeostasis?
At The Clinic Tissues 1. Which type of injection would allow a drug to be absorbed more rapidly intradermal (into the dermis) or subcutaneous (a shallow injection just deep to the epidermis)? Why? 2. Ally got sunburned on her recent trip to the beach. Her skin is peeling off in sheets. Why? 3. Both newborn infants and aged individuals have very little subcutaneous tissue. How does this affect their sensitivity to cold environmental temperatures?
EXIT TICKET 1. Which type of feedback mechanism is functioning in the Integumentary System to maintain health. 2. Give one example of homeostasis within the Integumentary system functions. 3. Name two ways in which our skin protects our deeper tissues. 4. Give one possibility of an outcome if the Integumentary System was run by positive feedback. 5. What type of tissue is found in the epidermis? dermis? subcutaneous layer/hypodermis?
Layers of the Epidermis Stratum basale (stratum germinativum) Deepest layer of epidermis Lies next to dermis Cells undergoing mitosis Daughter cells are pushed upward to become the more superficial layers Stratum spinosum Stratum granulosum
Layers of the Epidermis Stratum lucidum Formed from dead cells of the deeper strata Occurs only in thick, hairless skin of the palms of hands and soles of feet Stratum corneum Outermost layer of epidermis Shingle-like dead cells are filled with keratin (protective protein prevents water loss from skin)
Layers of the Epidermis Summary of layers from deepest to most superficial Stratum basale Stratum spinosum Stratum granulosum Stratum lucidum (thick, hairless skin only) Stratum corneum
I CAN OBJECTIVE 4. I can list the layers of the epidermis and explain why there is an extra layer in certain body regions.
Melanin Pigment (melanin) produced by melanocytes Melanocytes are mostly in the stratum basale Color is yellow to brown to black Amount of melanin produced depends upon genetics and exposure to sunlight
I CAN OBJECTIVE 5. I can explain skin pigment colors concentrating on melanocytes and melanin and the cultural differences.
Dermis Two layers Papillary layer (upper dermal region) Projections called dermal papillae Some papillae contain capillary loops Other house pain receptors and touch receptors On palms & soles, papillae are arranged in patterns that increase friction & gripping ability - fingerprints Reticular layer (deepest skin layer) Blood vessels Sweat and oil glands Deep pressure receptors
I CAN OBJECTIVE 6. I can distinguish between the papillary layer and the reticular layer of the dermis.
Dermis Overall dermis structure Collagen and elastic fibers located throughout the dermis Collagen fibers give skin its toughness - attract & bind water to keep the skin hydrated Elastic fibers give skin elasticity - as we age, the number of both fibers decreases, as a result, skin begins to sag & wrinkle
Blood Vessels Blood vessels play a role in body temperature regulation for homeostasis - when body temp is high, dermal capillaries become engorged, or swollen & skin becomes reddened & warm, allowing heat to radiate from the skin surface - when body temp is low, blood bypasses the dermal capillaries temporarily, allowing internal body temp to stay high
Nerve Endings Dermis also has a rich nerve supply - many nerve endings have specialized receptors that send messages (from environmental factors pressure & temp) to the central nervous system
Skin Structure Figure 4.4
I CAN OBJECTIVE 7. I can describe the overall structure of the dermis including collagen and reticular fibers, blood vessels and nerve supply.
*HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCE* - Decubitus Ulcers- bed sores a restriction of blood supply to the skin resulting in cell death and skin ulcers - the weight of the body puts pressure on the skin, especially over bony projections
Normal Skin Color Determinants Melanin Yellow, brown, or black pigments Carotene Orange-yellow pigment from some vegetables Hemoglobin Red coloring from blood cells in dermal capillaries Oxygen content determines the extent of red coloring
Appendages of the Skin Cutaneous glands are all exocrine glands Sebaceous glands found all over skin, except for palms of hands & soles of feet Produce oil, called sebum Lubricant for skin Prevents brittle hair Kills bacteria Most have ducts that empty into hair follicles; others open directly onto skin surface Glands are activated at puberty
I CAN OBJECTIVE 8. I can explain the structure and function of sebaceous glands.
*HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCE* - Acne Vulgaris is an infection of the sebaceous glands accompanied by pimples on the skin - if a sebaceous gland is blocked by sebum, a whitehead appears on the skin surface - if the accumulated material oxidizes and dries, it darkens, forming a blackhead - Seborrhea is known as cradle cap in infants, is caused by overactivity of sebaceous glands
Appendages of the Skin Figure 4.6a
Appendages of the Skin Sweat glands also called sudoriferous glands 2.5 million per person Widely distributed in skin Two types Eccrine More numerous & found all over body Open via duct to pore on skin surface
Apocrine - Ducts empty into hair follicles - Largely confined to axillary & genital areas - Secretes sweat that also contains fatty acids & proteins which may cause a milky or yellowish color - When bacteria are present, they use the proteins & fats as a nutrient source & causes an unpleasant odor
Appendages of the Skin Figure 4.6b
ICAN OBJECTIVES 9. I can explain the structure and function of sudoriferous glands. 10. I distinguish between eccrine and apocrine sudoriferous glands.
Sweat and Its Function Composition Mostly water Salts and vitamin C Some metabolic waste Fatty acids and proteins (apocrine only) Function Helps dissipate excess heat Excretes waste products Acidic nature inhibits bacteria growth Odor is from associated bacteria
I CAN OBJECTIVE 11. I can explain the composition and function of sweat.
Appendages of the Skin Hair Found all over the body except palms of hand, soles of feet, nipples & lips Produced by hair follicles Part of hair enclosed in the follicle is the root Part of hair projecting from surface is shaft
Hair Mitosis, or formation of epithelial cells, occurs in the matrix (growth zone) at the inferior end of the hair bulb in the follicle As daughter cells are pushed away from the growing region, they become keratinized & die (bulk of hair shaft is dead & almost entirely protein) Melanin provides the pigment for hair color Shape of hair shaft determines hair type (straight, wavy or curly)
Appendages of the Skin Figure 4.7c
Appendages of the Skin Hair anatomy Central medulla Cortex surrounds medulla Cuticle on outside of cortex Most heavily keratinized & most subject to abrasion which causes split ends at tip of shaft Figure 4.7b
Appendages of the Skin Associated hair structures Hair follicle Dermal (connective) and epidermal (epithelial) sheath surround hair root Arrector pili muscle Smooth muscle Pulls hairs upright when cold or frightened goose bumps
Appendages of the Skin Figure 4.7a
Appendages of the Skin Figure 4.8
I CAN OBJECTiVE 12. I can explain hair as an appendage of the skin, including the terms follicle, shaft and arrector pili muscle.
Appendages of the Skin Nails Scale-like modifications of the epidermis Heavily keratinized Free edge, body (visible attached portion), root (embedded in skin), cuticle (proximal nail fold), lunula (white crescent) & nail bed (beneath the nail body) Stratum basale extends beneath the nail bed proximal end (matrix) is responsible for growth Like hairs, mostly nonliving material
Appendages of the Skin Figure 4.9
I CAN OBJECTIVE 13. I can explain nails as an appendage of the skin, including the terms free edge, root, body, lunula, and cuticle.
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances Infections & Allergies Athlete s foot Itchy, red, peeling condition of skin between the toes Caused by fungal infection Boils and carbuncles Inflammation of hair follicles & sebaceous glands Common on dorsal neck Caused by bacterial infection
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances Cold Sores Fluid-filled blisters that itch & sting Caused by herpes virus Virus localizes in cutaneous nerves, where it remains dormant until activated by emotional upset, fever, or UV radiation
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances Contact dermatitis Itching, redness & swelling progressing to blistering Exposure to chemicals cause allergic reaction Impetigo Pink, water-filled, raised lesions (common around nose & mouth) which develop yellow crust & rupture Caused by highly contagious bacterial infection
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances Psoriasis Overproduction of skin cells resulting in reddened lesions covered with silvery scales Believed to be an autoimmune disorder (where your body attacks your body) triggered by trauma, infection or stress
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances Figure 4.10
I CAN OBJECTIVE 14. I describe the following disorders of the skin, athlete s foot, boils, cold sores, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and impetigo.
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances Burns Tissue damage and cell death caused by heat, electricity, UV radiation, or chemicals Associated dangers Dehydration Electrolyte imbalance Circulatory shock due to loss of fluids Bacterial infection
Rule of Nines Way to determine the extent of burns Body is divided into 11 areas for quick estimation Each area represents about 9% of total body surface area
Rule of Nines Figure 4.11a
Severity of Burns First-degree burns Only epidermis is damaged Skin is red and swollen Second-degree burns Epidermis and upper dermis are damaged Skin is red with blisters **1 st & 2 nd degree burns are partial thickness burns
Severity of Burns Third-degree burns (called full thickness burns) Destroys entire skin layer Burn is gray-white or black Regeneration is not possible & skin grafting must be done to cover the underlying exposed tissues
Severity of Burns Figure 4.11b
I CAN OBJECTIVE 15. I can explain the severity between the three different degrees of burns.
Critical Burns Burns are considered critical if Over 25% of body has second-degree burns Over 10% of the body has third-degree burns There are third-degree burns of the face, hands, or feet
Skin Cancer Cancer abnormal cell mass Classified two ways Benign Does not spread (encapsulated) Malignant Metastasized (moves/spreads) to other parts of the body Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer
Skin Cancer Types Basal cell carcinoma Least malignant Most common type Arises from stratum basale Occurs most on sun-exposed areas of the face Shiny, dome-shaped nodules
Skin Cancer Types Figure 4.12a
Skin Cancer Types Squamous cell carcinoma Metastasizes to lymph nodes if not removed Early removal allows a good chance of cure Believed to be sun-induced Arises from stratum spinosum Appears most often on scalp, ears, dorsal hands & lower lip
Skin Cancer Types Figure 4.12b
Skin Cancer Types Malignant melanoma Pigmented spot or mole Most deadly of skin cancers Cancer of melanocytes Metastasizes rapidly to lymph and blood vessels
Skin Cancer Types Figure 4.12c
I CAN OBJECTIVE 16. I can describe the three different cancers of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma.
ABCD Rule A = Asymmetry Two sides of pigmented mole do not match B = Border irregularity Borders of mole are not smooth C = Color Different colors in pigmented area D = Diameter Spot is larger then 6 mm in diameter **E = Elevation above the skin surface
I CAN OBJECTIVE 17. I can explain the ABCD rule in determining melanoma.
