---|---|---|---|---|---|
Functions of integumentary system? | Physical protection, thermoregulation, excretion, sensory information, storage of lipids, immune response to pathogens and cancers in skin
🗑
|
||||
Epidermis of skin | Consists of a stratified squamous epithelium, 4 cell types: keratinocytes (most abundant), melanocytes, kerkel cells, langerhans cells
🗑
|
||||
Layers of the epidermis? | Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum
🗑
|
||||
Stratum Basale | Deepest layer. Basal cells dominate stratum basale...replacing superficial keratinocytes. Contains melanocytes and merkel cells
🗑
|
||||
Stratum Spinosum | Keratinocytes are connected by desmosomes...melanocytes and langerhans cells are present
🗑
|
||||
Stratum Granulosum | Keratohyalin accumulates in electron-dense granules called keratohyalin granules. Cells of this layer also contain membrane bound granules that release their contents by EXOCYTOSIS- forms sheets of a lipid-rich substance...water resistant layer.
🗑
|
||||
Callus is formed in stratum granuolosum | Increased friction against skin stimulates increased keratohyalin and keratin synthesis by keratinocytes...results in formation of a callus
🗑
|
||||
Stratum Lucidum | Thick skin..palms of hands and soles of feet
🗑
|
||||
Stratum Corneum | Most superficial layer..abundant in keratinocytes
🗑
|
||||
Keratinized Epithelium | An epithelium containing large amounts of keratin...in stratum corneum
🗑
|
||||
Epidermal Ridges | Stratum basale of epidermis forms epidermal ridges that extend into the dermis
🗑
|
||||
Dermal Papilla | Projections from dermis to epidermis...extend between adjacent ridges
🗑
|
||||
Three factors that determine skin color | Dermal blood supply, thickness of stratum corneum, carotene & melanin
🗑
|
||||
Dermal Blood Supply | When circulatory supply is temporarily reduced, the skin becomes pale
🗑
|
||||
Carotene | Accumulates inside keratinocytes, orange/yellow pigment of skin
🗑
|
||||
Melanocytes | melanin is stored inside melanocytes, respond to UV exposure by increasing rates of melanin synthesis and transfer
🗑
|
||||
Cyanosis | Dermal blood supply, bluish coloration of skin...most apparent in lips/beneath nails
🗑
|
||||
How do stretch marks form? | Extensive distortion of dermis that occurs over abdomen during pregnancy exceeds elastic capabilities of skin. Elastic fibers break and skin does not recoil to original size.
🗑
|
||||
Lines of cleavage | Orientation of collagen and elastic fibers arranged in bundles - aligned to resist applied forces
🗑
|
||||
Line of clevage importance | Parallel cut to line of clevage will remain closed but a cut at the right angle will be pulled open
🗑
|
||||
Subcutaneous Layer | Consists of loose connective tissue with abundant adipocytes
🗑
|
||||
Subcutaneous layer difference in infants and adults | As we grow, the distribution of subcutaneous fat changes..infants and children have extensive "baby fat".
🗑
|
||||
Hypodermic Needle | Subcutaneous injection is a useful method for administering drugs..hypodermic needle refers to the region targeted for injection
🗑
|
||||
Difference between hair root and shaft | Hair root extends from hair bulb to point where internal organization of hair is complete. Hair shaft extends to halfway skin surface to the exposed tip of hair
🗑
|
||||
Exocrine Glands Classification | Sebaceous glands and sweat glands
🗑
|
||||
Sebaceous Glands | Discharge a waxy sebum in hair foliciles
🗑
|
||||
Sweat glands | Apocrine and merocrine. Both contain myoepithelial cells
🗑
|
||||
Apocrine | Armpits/around nipples...odorous secretion
🗑
|
||||
Merocrine | palms/soles...secretes sweat
🗑
|
||||
Skin Cancers | Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell caricoma, maligant melanoma
🗑
|
||||
Basal Cell Carcinoma | Originates in stratum basale, most common, found in areas subjected to UV exposure, inherited gene
🗑
|
||||
Squamous Cell Carcinoma | Restricted to areas of sun-exposed skin,
🗑
|
||||
Maligant Melanoma | Most dangerous, cancerous melanocytes grow rapidly
🗑
