INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
~Skin and its Derivatives~
![Page 2: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Skin (cutaneous membrane) • largest organ of the human body with a
surface area of 1.5-2.0 square meters in an average adult.
• Each 5 square cm may have up to:600 sweat glands20 blood vessels60,000 melanocytes and over a
thousand nerve endings.
“A waterproof, stretchable, washable and permanent-pressed coat of the
human body that is guaranteed to last a lifetime with reasonable care”

1. Protection Integument (“covering”)
Functions
– tight cell junctions prevent bacterial invasion
– lipids released retard evaporation
– pigment protects somewhat against UV light
– Langerhans cells alert immune system
![Page 4: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. ThermoregulationHow does it regulate
temperature?– Sweating– Dilate/constrict of
blood vessels– Goose bumps
• High temperatureDilate surface blood vesselsSweating
• Low temperatureSurface vessels constrictshivering
Functions
![Page 5: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Shivering and constriction of surface vessels– raise internal body temperature as needed
• Exercise– in moderate exercise, more blood brought to
surface helps lower temperature– with extreme exercise, blood is shunted to
muscles and body temperature rises

Stratum Basale:• Mitotic layer, continuously
replaces epidermal cells, turnover rate between 25 to 50 days
Stratum Spinosum:• Cells are pushed upward
and flatten out• Stratum Granulosum:
Cells contain granules of Keratin
Layers of the Epidermis
![Page 17: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Stratum Lucidum:• Observed only in non-hairy
or thick skin. Several layers of dead cells with indistinct boundaries
Stratum Corneum:• Composed of 25 or more
layers of dead squamous cells still joined by desmosomes. Eventually desmosomes break and cells flake off in a process called desquamation
Layers of the Epidermis
![Page 18: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Keratinocytes:Most common cells of the epidermis. Provides protection and waterproofing sealant
Melanocytes:Produces and transfer the protein melanin to Keratinocytes. Melanin is a brown/black pigment that absorbs UV-light.
Cells of the Epidermis
![Page 19: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Langerhans cells:Arise from red bone marrow and migrate to the epidermis. They participate in immune responses against bacteria and viruses. Easily damaged by UV
Merkel Cells:Found in the Stratum Basale, they contact the flattened process of sensory neuron. They respond to touch sensations
Cells of the Epidermis
![Page 20: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Melanin produced in epidermis by melanocytes– melanocytes convert tyrosine to melanin
• UV in sunlight increases melanin production– same number of melanocytes in everyone, but differing
amounts of pigment produced– results vary from yellow to tan to black color
Skin Color Pigments
![Page 21: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Clinical observations– freckles or liver spots = melanocytes in a patch– albinism = inherited lack of tyrosinase; no pigment– vitiligo = autoimmune loss of melanocytes in areas of the skin
produces white patches• The wide variety of colors in skin is due to three pigments -
melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin (in blood in capillaries) - in the dermis.
![Page 22: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Carotene in dermis:yellow-orange pigment (precursor of vitamin A)found in stratum corneum & dermis
Hemoglobin in dermis:red, oxygen-carrying pigment in blood cellsif other pigments are not present, epidermis is translucent so pinkness will be evident

• The hair growth cycle consists of a growing stage and a resting stage.– Growth cycle = growth stage & resting stage
• Growth stage – lasts for 2 to 6 years– matrix cells at base of hair root producing length
• Resting stage– lasts for 3 months– matrix cells inactive & follicle atrophies
– Old hair falls out as growth stage begins again• normal hair loss is 70 to 100 hairs per day
• Both rate of growth and the replacement cycle can be altered by illness, diet, high fever, surgery, blood loss, severe emotional stress, and gender.
• Chemotherapeutic agents affect the rapidly dividing matrix hair cells resulting in hair loss.
Hair Growth

• Hair color is due primarily to the amount and type of melanin.• Graying of hair occurs because of a progressive decline in
tyrosinase.– Dark hair contains true melanin– Blond and red hair contain melanin with iron and sulfur added– Graying hair is result of decline in melanin production– White hair has air bubbles in the medullary shaft
• Hormones influence the growth and loss of hair (Clinical applications).

• When an injury extends to tissues deep to the epidermis, the repair process is more complex than epidermal healing, and scar formation results.
• Healing occurs in 4 phases– inflammatory phase has clot unite wound edges and WBCs arrive from
dilated and more permeable blood vessels– migratory phase begins the regrowth of epithelial cells and the
formation of scar tissue by the fibroblasts– proliferative phase is a completion of tissue formation– maturation phase sees the scab fall off
• Scar formation– hypertrophic scar remains within the boundaries of the original wound– keloid scar extends into previously normal tissue
• collagen fibers are very dense and fewer blood vessels are present so the tissue is lighter in color
Deep Wound Healing
![Page 56: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
1. Inflammatory stage:
a. Blood clot forms
b. Inflammation is the result of vasodilation which helps deliver WBC’s to help eliminate
microbes
2. Migratory Phase:a. Clot becomes a scabb. Epithelial cells migrate beneath scab to repair epitheliumc. Fibroblast migrate into the area to repair connective tissued. New tissue is called granulation tissue
![Page 57: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
3. Proliferative phase:
a. Extensive growth of epithelial cells
b. Deposition of collagen fibers by fibroblasts
c. Continued growth of vascular network
4. Maturation phase:a. Scab sloughs offb. Collagen fibers become more
organizedc. Fibroblasts decrease in number
![Page 58: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

• Collagen fibers decrease in number & stiffen • Elastic fibers become less elastic• Fibroblasts decrease in number• decrease in number of melanocytes (gray hair, blotching)• decrease in Langerhans cells (decreased immune
responsiveness)• reduced number and less-efficient phagocytes
Age-related Structural Changes
![Page 60: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
• Your body is composed of approximately 100 Trillion cells
• About 16% of your body weight is skin• The skin is completely renewed every 27 days• You will make almost 1000 new skins in a lifetime• If all the layers of your skin were laid out on the
ground, it would cover about 20 m2 or 2 parking spaces
FYI !
![Page 61: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
• A fingernail or toenail takes about 6 months to grow from base to tip
• Fingernails grow faster than toenails• An average human scalp has 100,000 hairs• We lose between 40 and 100 hairs per day• Blondes have more hair than brunettes
FYI !
![Page 62: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
• Fingerprints provide traction for grasping objects• Even identical twins have different fingerprints• Every square inch of dermis contains twenty feet of
blood vessels• Skin on our hands and feet is thicker. When we
bathe, skin takes on water and swells slightly.• In the thicker areas, increased surface area creates
crowding. The skin must wrinkle to accommodate the changes
FYI !
![Page 63: 3. integumentary system](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/556528a1d8b42a08498b5412/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
• Friction of the epidermis causes cell division to increase.
