Epidermis = 5 layers, fig 5.3
Keratinized, ____________________ epithelium
4 types of cells: Figure 5.2
_______________- produce keratin- tough fibrous
protein protects the skin and underlying tissue from
heat microbes,& chemicals, water repel
_______________- produce pigment
Langerhans cells- from red bone marrow, immune
response against microbes
Merkel cells- in deepest layer, associated with
sensory neurons.
5th layer where friction is greatest
Stratum ____________:
deepest layer
single row of cuboidal or columnar keratinocytes
___________________
Hemidesmosomes and desmosomes
All cell types found here
AKA stratum germinativum
Stratum _____________:
Superficial to basale
8-10 layers keratinocytes
Cells become flattened, spiny
Arrangement allows for _______________________
Stratum __________________:
Stratum ______________:
Middle
3-5 layers keratinocytes undergoing apoptosis
Keratohyalin keratin
Lamellar granules= lipid rich secretion
______________ layer (cells are dying)
Present only in thick skin: fingertips, palms, soles,
5 layers of flat, _________, dead keratinocytes
Stratum ____________:
25-30 layers flat, dead keratinocytes
Continuously shed and replaced
_____________= abnormal thickening of this layer
Dermis
figure 5.1
2nd, deeper layer of skin
____________ - collagen and elastic fibers
__________: fibroblasts, macrophages,
adipocytes
Blood vessels, nerves, glands, hair follicles
2 regions:
___________ region
___________ region
Papillary region
superficial, 1/5 of dermis
Areolar CT w/fine elastic fibers
_______________= fingerlike projections that increase
surface area
Indent into epidermis
Contain capillary loops and tactile receptors -sense tactile
Free dendritic receptors: sense temp, pain, itch, tickle
Reticular region
Deeper; irregular CT w/ bundles of collagen interlaces
in a netlike manner, coarse elastic fibers, adipose, hair
follicles, nerves, oil and sweat glands
Fibers- _______________ and ___________________
Subcutaneous (subQ) = hypodermis
Areolar and adipose tissue
Fibers that extend from dermis anchor the
skin to subQ layer, which attaches to
underlying tissue and organs.
__________________
Large b.v. that supply the skin
Pacinian corpuscles -sensitive to pressure
Hair
_____, present on most skin except palms, palmar
surface of fingers, soles, and plantar surface
Scalp, eyebrows, axillae, external gentalia
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
Follicle- surrounds the root, near surface has all
epidermal layers, near bottom only stratum basale
Hair structures
Bulb- base of follicle
Matrix- germinal layer inside bulb
______________ glands assoc. with hairs
Arrector pili- smooth muscle extending
from superficial dermis to side of follicle
FUNCTIONS: ___________ from: sun,
heat loss from scalp, brows, lashes, nostril
and ear hair protect from foreign particles,
sensation of light touch
Glands
Sebaceous- oil glands,connected to hair follicles
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
____________– sweat glands, 3-4 million.
Exocytosis of sweat into hair follicles or onto
skin surface by pores
2 types based on:
Structure
Location
Type of secretion
Table 5.3 classifies eccrine vs. apocrine
___________- modified sweat glands in
external ear that produce wax,
glands in subQ
Sticky barrier to impede entrance of foreign
bodies
Eccrine
vs.
Thru skin except lips,
nail beds, glans penis,
clitoris, labia minora,
eardrums
Secretory: dermis
Excretory: epidermis
Less viscous: water,
Na+, Cl-, urea, uric
acid, ammonia, a.a.,
glucose, lactic acid
Apocrine
Axilla, groin, areolae,
bearded regions of
face.
SubQ
Hair follicle
More viscous, same
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
Burns
Damage by excessive _______,
_________, ______________, or corrosive
___________________
___________________ in skin cells
Destroy:
figure 5.9
protection against microbes and desiccation
thermoregulation
Graded according to severity
1st degree- _________________
Mild pain
Erythemia (redness) but no blisters
Skin functions intact
Healing 3-6 days, flake, peel. EX. Sunburn
2nd degree- destroys portion of epidermis
and _______________________
Some skin function lost
Redness, blister, edema, pain
If no infection can heal w/out skin graft 3-4
weeks
3rd degree (_______________) – destroys
portion of epidermis, dermis and associated
structures.
Most skin functions lost
Edema, numb - loss of sensory nerve endings
Regeneration slow, skin graft may be req’d
Life threatening if systemic effects involved
Lose water, plasma&plasma proteinsshock
Bacterial infection
Reduced circulation of blood
Decreased urine production
Diminished immune response
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
Inflammatory phase
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
Scab sloughs off, epidermis restored
Collagen becomes organized
Fibroblasts decrease
B.v. restored to normal
3 types of skin cancer
Excessive sun exposure usual cause
_________________________- 78% of all
Tumor arises from stratum basale
Rarely metastasize
________________________ - 20% of all
Arise from squamous cells of epidermis
Variable tendency to metastasize
Most arise from pre-existing lesions of
damaged tissue on sun exposed skin
These first 2 types: nonmelanoma skin
cancer, & are 50% more common in males
______________________ - 2% of all
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
(irregular), color(uneven), diameter (>1/4 in)
Risk factors
Skin type- light skin, always burn
Sun exposure- sun, altitude= UV
Family history- rates higher in some
families
Age- older people = longer total exposure
to sunlight
Immunological status- immunosuppressed
have incidence
