The Integumentary System
11
Functions of the Integumentary System
  • Protection
  • Body temperature regulation
  • Dilation
  • Constriction
  • Sweat gland secretions
  • Cutaneous sensation
  • Metabolism

12
Three major regions
13
Cells of the Epidermis
  • Keratinocytes
  • Melanocytes
  • Langerhans cells
  • Merkel cells

14
THICK vs THIN skin
15
Epidermis
  • Five layers
  • Stratum corneum dead cells keratin dominate
    cells can become thick from irritation
  • Stratum lucidum Present in thick skin only, dead
    cells
  • Stratum granulosum cells dying begin
    keratinization
  • Stratum spinosum living cells, keratin
    generation
  • Stratum basale youngest cells specialized
    cells present

16
Dermis
  • Strong, flexible connective tissue
  • Cell types fibroblasts
  • macrophages
  • mast cells
  • white blood cells
  • Composed of two layers
  • papillary and reticular

17
Skin Color
  • Three pigments contribute to skin color
  • Melanin
  • yellow to reddish-brown to black pigment
  • Freckles and pigmented moles
  • Carotene
  • yellow to orange pigment
  • Hemoglobin
  • reddish pigment

Integumentary Accessories
20
Sweat Glands
  • Eccrine sweat glands
  • Apocrine sweat glands
  • Ceruminous glands
  • Mammary glands

21
Sebaceous Glands
  • Simple alveolar glands
  • Androgen
  • Sebum
  • Lubrication
  • Complications

22
Nails
  • Consist of
  • free edge
  • Body
  • Root
  • Cuticle
  • Lunula
  • keratin

Growth- 0.5 mm/week ? fingernails faster than toe
nails why?
23
Hair
  • Filamentous strands
  • of dead keratinized cells
  • Functions?
  • Hintthere are 6
  • Location

24
Hair Function and Distribution
  • Functions of hair include
  • Helping to maintain warmth
  • Alerting the body to presence of insects on the
    skin
  • Guarding the scalp against physical trauma, heat
    loss, and sunlight
  • Hair is distributed over the entire skin surface
    except
  • Palms, soles, and lips
  • Nipples and portions of the external genitalia

25
Hair Follicle
  • Root sheath extending from the epidermal surface
    into the dermis
  • Deep end is expanded forming a hair bulb
  • A knot of sensory nerve endings wraps around each
    hair bulb
  • Bending a hair stimulates these endings, hence
    our hairs act as sensitive touch receptors

26

Hair Follicle
Regions shaft, root, medulla (inner), cortex
(outer), cuticle (cover)
28
Types of Hair
  • Vellus pale, fine body hair found in children
    and the adult female
  • Terminal coarse, long hair of eyebrows, scalp,
    axillary, and pubic regions

29
Hair Thinning and Baldness
  • Alopecia hair thinning in both sexes
  • True, or frank, baldness
  • Genetically determined
  • Sex-influenced condition
  • Male pattern baldness

Developmental Aspects of the Integument Fetal
  • Lanugo
  • Vernix caseosa

32
Adolescent to Adult
  • Oil, hair and acneoh my!
  • Sweat!
  • Cumulative environmental assaults
  • Scaling
  • Dermatitis

33
Developmental Aspects of the Integument Old Age
  • Replacement of cells slows and skin gets thinner
  • Decreased lubrication
  • Decreased elasticity
  • Loss of subcutaneous tissue
  • Decreased numbers of
  • Melanocytes
  • Langerhans cells

34
Skin Cancer
  • Most skin tumors are benign and do not
    metastasize
  • A crucial risk factor for nonmelanoma skin
    cancers is the disabling of the p53 gene
  • Newly developed skin lotions can fix damaged DNA

35
Skin Cancer
  • The three major types of skin cancer are
  • Basal cell carcinoma
  • Squamous cell carcinoma
  • Melanoma

36
Basal Cell Carcinoma
  • Least malignant-most common skin cancer
  • Stratum basale cells proliferate and invade the
    dermis and hypodermis
  • Slow growing and do not often metastasize
  • Can be cured by surgical excision in 99 of the
    cases

37
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
  • Arises from keratinocytes of stratum spinosum
  • Arise most often on scalp, ears, and lower lip
  • Grows rapidly and metastasizes if not removed
  • Prognosis is good if treated by radiation therapy
    or removed surgically

38
Melanoma
  • Cancer of melanocytes is the most dangerous type
    of skin cancer because it is
  • Highly metastatic
  • Resistant to chemotherapy

39
Melanoma
  • Melanomas have the following characteristics
    (ABCD rule)
  • A Asymmetry the two sides of the pigmented
    area do not match
  • B Border is irregular and exhibits indentations
  • C Color (pigmented area) is black, brown, tan,
    and sometimes red or blue
  • D Diameter is larger than 6 mm (size of a
    pencil eraser)

40
Melanoma
  • Treated by wide surgical excision accompanied by
    immunotherapy
  • Chance of survival is poor if the lesion is over
    4 mm thick

41
Burns
  • First-degree only the epidermis is damaged
  • Symptoms-localized redness, swelling, and pain
  • Second-degree epidermis and upper regions of
    dermis are damaged
  • Symptoms mimic first degree burns, but blisters
    also appear
  • Third-degree entire thickness of the skin is
    damaged
  • Burned area appears gray-white, cherry red, or
    black there is no initial edema or pain (since
    nerve endings are destroyed)

42
Rule of Nines
  • Estimates the severity of burns
  • Burns considered critical if
  • Over 25 of the body has second-degree burns
  • Over 10 of the body has third-degree burns
  • There are third-degree burns on face, hands, or
    feet
