4 An Introduction to the Integumentary System
The Integument (Largest system of the body) 16% of body weight 1.5 to 2 m2 in area The integument is made up of two parts: 1 Cutaneous membrane (skin) 2 Accessory structures Two Components of the Cutaneous Membrane Outer epidermis ( avascular stratified squamous epithelia) Superficial epithelium (epithelial tissues) Inner dermis (underlying area of connective tissues) Connective tissues Accessory Structures Originate in the dermis Extend through the epidermis to skin surface Hair Nails Multicellular exocrine glands

5 An Introduction to the Integumentary System
Connections Cardiovascular system Blood vessels in the dermis Nervous system Sensory receptors for pain, touch, and temperature Hypodermis (Superficial Fascia or Subcutaneous Layer) Loose connective tissue Below the dermis Location of hypodermic injections

8 An Introduction to the Integumentary System
Functions of Skin Protection of underlying tissues and organs Excretion of salts, water, and organic wastes (glands) Maintenance of body temperature (insulation and evaporation) Production of melanin Production of keratin Synthesis of vitamin D3 Storage of lipids Detection of touch, pressure, pain, and temperature

10 Contain large amounts of keratin
5-1 Epidermis Cells of the Epidermis Keratinocytes Contain large amounts of keratin Are the most abundant cells in the epidermis Thin Skin Covers most of the body Has four layers of keratinocytes Thick Skin Covers the palms of the hands and soles of the feet Has five layers of keratinocytes

11 Figure 5-3 The Structure of the Epidermis
Surface Stratum corneum Stratum lucidum Stratum granulosum Stratum spinosum Stratum basale Basement membrane Papillary layer of dermis Dermis Thick skin LM  210 11

12 5-1 Epidermis Stratum Basale
Is attached to basement membrane by hemidesmosomes Forms a strong bond between epidermis and dermis Forms epidermal ridges (e.g., fingerprints) Dermal papillae (tiny mounds) Increase the area of basement membrane Strengthen attachment between epidermis and dermis Has many basal cells or germinative cells Specialized Cells of Stratum Basale Merkel cells (Found in hairless skin. Respond to touch—trigger nervous system) Melanocytes (Contain pigment melanin—scattered throughout stratum basale)

13 5-1 Epidermis Stratum Spinosum — the “spiny layer” Produced by division of stratum basale Eight to ten layers of keratinocytes bound by desmosomes Cells shrink until cytoskeletons stick out (spiny) Continue to divide, increasing thickness of epithelium Contain dendritic (Langerhans) cells, active in immune response

14 5-1 Epidermis Stratum Granulosum — the “grainy layer”
Stops dividing, starts producing Keratin—A tough, fibrous protein that makes up hair and nails Keratohyalin (Dense granules and cross-linked keratin fibers) Cells of Stratum Granulosum Produce protein fibers Dehydrate and die Create tightly interlocked layer of keratin surrounded by keratohyalin Stratum Lucidum — the “clear layer” Found only in thick skin Covers stratum granulosum 2 Which epidermal layer includes stem cells that continually undergo cell division?

15 5-1 Epidermis Stratum Corneum — the “horn layer”
Exposed surface of skin 15 to 30 layers of keratinized cells Water resistant Shed and replaced every 2 weeks Keratinization is the formation of a layer of dead, protective cells with keratin Occurs on all exposed skin surfaces except eyes Skin life cycle It takes 15–30 days for a cell to move from stratum basale to stratum corneum

16 5-1 Epidermis Perspiration Insensible perspiration
Interstitial fluid lost by evaporation through the stratum corneum Sensible perspiration Water excreted by sweat glands Dehydration results: From damage to stratum corneum (e.g., burns and blisters [insensible perspiration]) From immersion in hypertonic solution (e.g., seawater [osmosis]) Hydration results: From immersion in hypotonic solution (e.g., freshwater [osmosis]) Causes swelling of epithelial cells, evident on the palms and soles

17 5-2 Skin Color Skin Color is Influenced by Two Pigments Carotene
Orange-yellow pigment found in orange vegetables that accumulates in epidermal cells and fatty tissues of the dermis. Can be converted to Vitamin A. Melanin Yellow-brown or black pigment produced by melanocytes in stratum basale. It is stored in transport vesicles (melanosomes) and transferred to keratinocytes. Protects from UV radiation. Determines skin color by melanin production—not number of melanocytes. 3 What is the function of melanin?

18 Melanoma, life-threatening cancer
Figure 5-6 Skin Cancers Basal cell carcinoma Originates in Stratum basale and is the most common. Melanoma, life-threatening cancer Fair-skinned individuals are most susceptible to all forms of skin cancer, because their melanocytes are unable to shield them from UV radiation. Avoid exposure and use sunblock. 18

19 Asymmetry—irregular in shape, raised, oozing
Skin Cancers The Key Characteristics of Cancer Asymmetry—irregular in shape, raised, oozing Border—irregular, notched Color—mottled, tan, brown, black, red, pink, white, blue Diameter—greater than 5 mm (0.2 in) wide

20 5-2 Skin Color Blood circulation (red blood cells)
Capillaries and Skin Color Oxygenated red blood contributes to skin color Blood vessels dilate from heat, skin reddens. Blood flow decreases, skin pales. Cyanosis Bluish skin tint caused by severe reduction in blood flow or oxygenation Illness and Skin Color Jaundice (yellow color) Buildup of bile produced by liver Pituitary tumor (deep bronze tone) Excess MSH (Melanocyte-stimulating hormone) Addison’s disease (skin darkening) A disease of the pituitary gland Vitiligo (loss of color) Loss of melanocytes. Thyroid gland disorders.

21 5-3 Vitamin D3 Vitamin D3 Epidermal cells produce cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) In the presence of UV radiation Liver and kidneys convert vitamin D3 into calcitriol (hormone) Aids absorption of calcium and phosphorus Insufficient vitamin D3 Can cause rickets

22 5-4 Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
Powerful peptide growth factor Produced by glands (salivary and duodenum) Used in laboratories to grow skin grafts Functions of EGF Promotes division of germinative cells Accelerates keratin production Stimulates epidermal repair Stimulates glandular secretion

23 The Dermis (underlying area of connective tissue)
Located between epidermis and subcutaneous layer Anchors epidermal accessory structures (hair follicles, sweat glands) Two components: Outer—papillary layer and Deep—reticular layer The Papillary Layer Consists of areolar tissue Contains smaller capillaries, lymphatics, and sensory neurons Has dermal papillae projecting between epidermal ridges The Reticular Layer Consists of dense irregular connective tissue Contains larger blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerve fibers Contains collagen and elastic fibers Contains connective tissue proper Dermatitis--An inflammation of the papillary layer caused by infection, radiation mechnaical irritation, or chemicals and is characterized by itch or pain.

24 5-5 The Dermis Dermal Strength and Elasticity Presence of two types of fibers Collagen fibers Very strong, resist stretching but bend easily Provide flexibility Elastic fibers Permit stretching and then recoil to original length Limit the flexibility of collagen fibers to prevent damage to tissue Skin turgor Properties of flexibility and resilience

5-5 The Dermis Cleavage Lines Collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis Arranged in parallel bundles Resist force in a specific direction Cleavage (tension) lines establish important patterns A parallel cut remains shut, heals well A cut across (right angle) pulls open and scars © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

26 5-5 The Dermis The Dermal Blood Supply Cutaneous plexus A network of arteries along the reticular layer Papillary plexus Capillary network from small arteries in papillary layer Venous plexus Capillary return deep to the papillary plexus Contusion Damage to blood vessels resulting in “black-and-blue” bruising

28 5-5 The Dermis Innervation of the Skin Nerve fibers in skin control: Blood flow Gland secretions Sensory receptors Light touch—tactile corpuscles, located in dermal papillae (Meissner’s corpuscles) Deep pressure and vibration—lamellated corpuscles, in the reticular layer (Pacinian corpuscles)

29 5-5 The Dermis Skin Damage Sagging and wrinkles (reduced skin elasticity) are caused by: Dehydration Age Hormonal changes UV exposure Stretch Marks—thickened skin due to excessive stretching of the skin as a result of pregnancy and weight gain

30 5-6 The Hypodermis The Hypodermis (Subcutaneous Layer) Lies below the integument Stabilizes the skin Allows separate movement Made of elastic areolar and adipose tissues Connected to the reticular layer of integument by connective tissue fibe Few capillaries and no vital organs The site of subcutaneous injections using hypodermic needles What does liposuction do? It is a surgical procedure that removes subcutaneous adipose tissue through a tube inserted deep within the skin. Can it be dangerous?

31 5-7 Hair Hair, Hair Follicles, Sebaceous Glands, Sweat Glands, and Nails Integumentary accessory structures Derived from embryonic epidermis Located in dermis Project through the skin surface

32 5-7 Hair Human Body The human body is covered with hair, except: Palms, Soles, Lips, Portions of external genitalia Functions of Hair: Protects, insulates, guards openings against particles and insects and is sensitive to very light touch. Hair Production Begins at the base of a hair follicle, deep in the dermis As hair is produced, it is keartinazed (soft keratin and hard keratin). Types of Hairs Vellus hairs (Soft, fine and cover body surface) Terminal hairs (Heavy, pigmented on head, eyebrows, eyelashes) Hair color is produced by melanocytes. It is determined by genes.

Diagrammatic sectional view along the long axis of a hair follicle. 33

34 5-8 Sebaceous Glands and Sweat Glands
Exocrine Glands in Skin Sebaceous Glands (oil glands) Holocrine glands. Secrete sebum (lubricates,protects epidermis and inhibit bacteria) Two Types of Sweat Glands Apocrine glands Merocrine (eccrine) glands Watery secretions

35 5-8 Sebaceous Glands and Sweat Glands
Apocrine Sweat Glands Found in armpits, around nipples, and groin Secrete products into hair follicles Produce sticky, cloudy secretions Break down and cause odors Surrounded by myoepithelial cells Squeeze apocrine gland secretions onto skin surface in response to hormonal or nervous signals

36 5-8 Sebaceous Glands and Sweat Glands
Merocrine (Eccrine) Sweat Glands Widely distributed on body surface Especially on palms and soles Coiled, tubular glands Discharge directly onto skin surface Sensible perspiration Water, salts, and organic compounds Functions of merocrine sweat gland activity Cools skin Excretes water and electrolytes Flushes microorganisms and harmful chemicals from skin

37 5-8 Sebaceous Glands and Sweat Glands
Other Integumentary Glands Mammary glands Produce milk Ceruminous glands Produce cerumen (earwax) Protect the eardrum

38 5-8 Sebaceous Glands and Sweat Glands
Control of Glands Autonomic nervous system (ANS) Controls sebaceous and apocrine sweat glands Works simultaneously over entire body Merocrine sweat glands Controlled independently Sweating occurs locally Thermoregulation The main function of sensible perspiration Works with cardiovascular system Regulates body temperature

39 5-9 Nails Nails Protect fingers and toes
Made of dead cells packed with keratin Metabolic disorders can change nail structure Nail Production Occurs in a deep epidermal fold near the bone called the nail root 5 Why are nails so hard?

40 5-10 Repair of the Integument
Repair of the Integument Following an Injury Bleeding occurs Mast cells trigger inflammatory response A scab stabilizes and protects the area Germinative cells migrate around the wound Macrophages clean the area Fibroblasts and endothelial cells move in, producing granulation tissue

41

42 5-10 Repair of the Integument
Repair of the Integument Following an Injury Fibroblasts produce scar tissue Inflammation decreases, clot disintegrates Fibroblasts strengthen scar tissue A raised keloid may form

43 Burns and Grafts Burns and Grafts
1st Degree Burn damage to superficial layers of the skin. 2nd Degree Burn damage to superficial layers of the skin. 3rd Degree Burn damage to epidermis and dermis extending to hypodermis. Burns that cover over 20 percent of the skin surface threaten life because they affect the following functions: Fluid and Electrolyte Balance Thermoregulation Protection from Infection With fluid-replacement therapies, infection control methods, and grafting techniques, young patients with burns over 80 percent of the body have a 50 percent chance of recovery.

44 Trunk 36% (front and back) Head 15%
Figure A Quick Method of Estimating the Percentage of Surface Area Affected by Burns Head 9% What is the Rule of Nines? Upper limb 9% each Trunk 36% (front and back) Head 15% Trunk 32% (front and back) Genitalia 1% Upper limb 9% each Lower limb 18% each Genitalia 1% Lower limb 17% each ADULT CHILD (5-year-old) It is called the Rules of Nines because the area in adults is divided into multiples of 9. 44

45 5-11 Effects of Aging on the Integumentary System
Epidermal thinning Decreased numbers of dendritic (Langerhans) cells Decreased vitamin D3 production Decreased melanocyte activity Decreased glandular activity (sweat and oil glands) Reduced blood supply Decreased function of hair follicles Reduction of elastic fibers Decreased hormone levels Slower repair rate

46 5-11 Importance of the Integumentary System
Protects and interacts with all organ systems Changes in skin appearance are used to diagnose disorders in other Systems The general public associates a tan with good health. What is wrong with this assessment?

47 Clinical Case—Skin Cells in Overdrive
What layer of the cutaneous membrane is affected by psoriasis? What is the underlying problem, as seen in the microscope, in psoriasis?
