1
Epithelial Membranes 3 Types Cutaneous Mucous Serous
2
Cutaneous Membrane SKIN! Exposed to air and is a dry membrane
3
Mucous Membrane Lines all body cavities that open to the exterior. They are wet/moist membranes that are almost continuously bathed in secretions.
4
Serous Membrane Lines body cavities that are closed to the exterior. Occur in pairs (Visceral & Parietal)
5
Visceral & Parietal? Visceral Serosa: The covering that touches the organ. Parietal Serosa: The outer covering that does NOT touch the organ The 2 layers are separated by a clear fluid called serous fluid.
6
The prefix “Peri-”… Means “to cover” Ex: Peritoneum: Covers organs of the abdominal cavity. Pericardium: Covers the heart (exc.) Pleura: Covers the lungs
7
Connective Tissue Membranes Synovial Membrane Composed of connective tissue Contain NO epithelial cells Found surrounding your joints Provide a smooth surface and secrete lubricating fluid
8
Integumentary System Made up of skin and its components such as sweat, oil, glands, hair, & nails.
10
Functions of the Integumentary System Protection Regulate Body Temperature Insulates & Cushions Makes Vitamin D Prevents Water Loss
11
Structure of Integumentary System 2 Types of tissues: Stratified Squamous (epidermis) Dense Connective Tissue (dermis) Subcutaneous Tissue: Adipose tissue deep to the dermis. Serve as a shock absorber & insulates deeper tissue.
12
(hypodermis)
13
Formation of a Blister Blister : Forms when the epidermis and dermis separate from each other Friction/burns Separation fills with interstitial fluid
14
Epidermis Avascular (Men can shave skin layers daily and not bleed!) 5 Layers (Deep Superficial) 1. Stratum basale 2. Stratum spinosum 3. Stratum granulosum 4. Stratum lucidum 5. Stratum corneum (Thickest layer) Bottom Top Stratified squamous Keratinized
15
Layers of the Epidermis “Bio Students Graduate Less Crazy”
16
Epidermis still….. Melanin: Pigment which ranges in color from yellow to brown to black. Produced by cells called melanocytes. Found in the Stratum basale.
17
Dermis (dense connective tissue) Papillary Upper dermal region Have dermal papillae Fingerprints Identifying films of sweat Reticular Deepest skin layer Contains blood vessels, sweat & oil glands Nerve endings Pain receptors Touch receptors
18
Dermis….continued Contains: 1. Collagen Toughness of skin Attract and bind water for skin hydration 2. Elastic Fibers Skin elasticity Decreases as age increases….leads to sagginess and wrinkles
19
Hypodermis Deep to dermis Not part of the skin Anchors skin Adipose tissue
20
Red face after running? Blood vessels become engorged and move to the surface of the skin to cool off and regulate body temperature.
21
Skin Color 3 Contributions to skin color: 1. Melanin: (yellow, red, brown, black…) 2. Carotene: (orange, yellow) 3. Amount of Oxygen in hemoglobin
22
Skin color conditions Erythema: Blushing Blanching: Pale Ghost (Vasorestriction) Jaundice: Yellowing of Skin Hematoma: Bruise
