underlying tissue and organs.
__________________
Large b.v. that supply the skin
Pacinian corpuscles -sensitive to pressure
Hair

figure 5.4
Genetic and hormonal influences determine thickness
and distribution in these areas
1 hair= columns of dead, keratinized cells bonded
by E.C.proteins
Shaft- superficial portion projecting from surface
Root- deep to shaft, penetrates dermis or subQ

Secreting portion in dermis, opens into neck of hair
follicle
Directly open to skin in: lips, glans penis, labia
minora, eyelids
Absent in palms and soles
Secrete sebum = mixture of ____________,
cholesterol, proteins, inorganic salts




Coats surface of hairs to keep them from drying
Prevents excessive evaporation of water,
Keeps skin soft and pliable,
Inhibits growth of some bacteria


Exocytosis of sweat into hair follicles or onto
skin surface by pores
2 types based on:

nail beds, glans penis,
clitoris, labia minora,
eardrums
Secretory: dermis
Excretory: epidermis
Less viscous: water,

acid, ammonia, a.a.,
glucose, lactic acid
Apocrine

Axilla, groin, areolae,
bearded regions of
face.

SubQ

components as
eccrine plus lipids
and proteins


Eccrine

Regulation of body
temperature and
waste removal


vs.
Apocrine

Insensible and
sensible perspiration
Soon after birth
Stimulated during
emotional stress and
sexual excitement


“cold sweat”
puberty
Acne





Inflammation of sebaceous glands
Usually begins at puberty when these
glands  in size and  sebum production
Androgens stimulate glands
Occurs  in follicles colonized by bacteria
Infection can cause a cyst- destroy and
displace epidermal cells.
Skin as a thermal regulator

2 ways of regulation:

_____________________


Evaporation of sweat from skin surface helps
lower body temp (at low temp sweat is decreased)
_____________________of blood in dermis
During moderate exercise blood flow thru skin 
which  amount of heat radiated from body
 During intense exercise skin b.v. constrict & divert
blood to skeletal muscles & heart so,  heat is lost
thru heat radiation thru skin  temp 

Pigmentation


Melanin, carotene, & hemoglobin affect
__________= produce melanin, projections
transfer melanin granules to keratinocytes.



More numerous in mucous membranes,
areolae, penis, face, limbs
# same in all people, pigment amount varies
__________ = black-brown pigment,
contributes to skin color, absorbs UV light


Form veil around nuclei to protect DNA
Cause variation from yellow to black

Melanocytes produce melanin in a melanosome
w/ enzyme – tyrosinase



__________- yellow-orange pigment, precursor
to vitamin A (pigments for vision)



UV light  enzymatic activity
Tan is lost when melanin containing keratinocytes
reach stratum corneum
Found in stratum corneum, fatty areas of dermis and
subQ
If little melanin or carotene epidermis- translucent,
white people may appear pink or red due to …
____________- red color, oxygen carrying
pigment inside RBC

Dependent upon amount of oxygen

Rule of nines
Process of wound healing, 5.6

Epidermal


Abrasions and minor burns
Response: basal cells break free of basement
membrane, enlarge, and migrate across the
wound…migration stops when the cells
encounter one another = ________________.


Epithelial growth factor secreted to cause basale
stem cells to divide until wound is resurfaced
Deep wound- dermis and subQ

More complex healing- 4 phases
Deep wound healing

Blood clot forms, loosely unites wound edges
Vascular & cellular response to eliminate microbes,
foreign material and dying tissue




Neutrophils
monocytes  macrophages
mesenchymal cells  fibroblasts
Migratory phase (granulation tissue forms)



Clot becomes scab, epithelial cells migrate beneath
Fibroblast synthesize scar tissue
B.v. begin regrowth
Deep wound healing (2)

Proliferative phase



Extensive growth of epithelial cells beneath scab
Deposition of collagen by fibroblast, cont’d b.v.
growth
Maturation phase








Arise from melanocytes
Most prevalent life threatening cancer in
young women
Lifetime risk: 1 in 75 (double from 15 yr ago)
Likely due to ↑UV, ozone depletion
Metastasize rapidly, can kill w/in months
Early detection! ABCD-- assymetry, border
