Lesson 3.1
Body Membranes

3. Body Membranes
Body membranes surround and help protect the body’s surfaces.
Epithelial membranes
mucous membranes
serous membranes
cutaneous membranes
Connective tissue membranes
synovial membranes

4. Epithelial Membranes Mucous membranes
Line cavities open to the environment
These cavities include all the hollow organs of the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts.
The mucous membranes are all moist
Mucus is a slippery solution that protects the mucous membranes and aids in transporting substances.

5. Epithelial Membranes Serous membranes
Line cavities not open to environment
These include:
the pleura, which encloses the lungs;
the pericardium, which surrounds the heart;
the peritoneum, which lines the abdominal cavity.
Each serous membrane forms a double lining with an outer lining and an inner lining.
The outer lining of each body cavity is called the parietal layer.
The inner lining that covers each organ within a body cavity is called the visceral layer.

6. Epithelial Membranes
Serous membranes secrete a thin, clear fluid called serous fluid which serves as a lubricant between the parietal and visceral membranes to minimize friction and “wear and tear”

7. Mucous Membranes and Serous Membranes

8. Epithelial Membranes Cutaneous membranes Forms what we know as skin
The basic structure of skin is a keratinizing, stratified (layered) squamous epithelium over dense, fibrous connective tissue.
Although the skin contains sweat glands, it is a dry membrane when sweat is not present.

9. Connective Tissue Membranes
Synovial membrane
Is the only type of membrane in the body that is composed solely of connective tissue and includes no epithelial cells.
lines the capsules that surround synovial joints, such as the shoulder and knee.
Surrounds tendon sheath
Secretes synovial fluid which provides cushioning and reduces friction.

11. The Integumentary System

Lesson 3.2
The Integumentary System

12. Functions of the Integumentary System
The skin (cutaneous membrane) forms a protective cover against
abrasion
chemical damage
drying out
UV radiation damage
The skin’s outermost layer contains keratin, a tough protein also found in hair and nails that adds structural strength.

13. Functions of the Integumentary System
Regulates body temperature due to the extensive array of tiny capillaries and sweat glands that lie near the surface of the skin.
When the body is overheated, the capillaries dilate, enabling body heat to dissipate.
When the environment is cold, the capillaries constrict, and blood flow moves to deeper vessels away from the skin to minimize heat loss.

15. Anatomy of the Skin The skin has two layers
an outer epidermis
an underlying dermis
The epidermis and dermis are thick over areas such as the soles of the feet and thin in delicate areas such as the eyelids.
Beneath the dermis is the hypodermis, or subcutaneous fascia, which serves as a storage repository for fat.
A blister is produced when a burn or friction causes these two layers to separate, forming a fl uid-fi lled pocket.

16. Anatomy of the Skin
The hypodermis is not part of the skin, but it connects the skin to the underlying tissues. It also provides cushioning and insulation against extreme external temperatures.

17. Anatomy of the Skin
Epidermis
Dermis
Hypodermis

18. Layers of the Epidermis
Is the outer layer of skin that we see.
It contains five layers of tissue: from superficial to deep (the outside going in),
stratum corneum,
stratum lucidum,
stratum granulosum,
stratum spinosum,
stratum basale
All epidermal layers consist of cells, with no blood supply to provide nutrients to the skin.
