Objectives
 Classify,
compare the structure of,
and give examples of each type of
body membrane.
 Describe the structure and function
of the epidermis and dermis.
 List and briefly describe each
accessory organ of the skin.
 List and discuss the three primary
functions of the integumentary
system.
Question
What
are the four
major types of
membranes in the
body?
Membranes
 Epithelial
membranes
 Mucous Membranes
 Serous membranes
– Pleura
– Pericardium
– Peritoneum
 Connective
Tissue Membranes
CLASSIFICATION OF BODY MEMBRANES
Epithelial
membranes
–Cutaneous membrane—
the skin
–More later!!
Slide 5
Classification of
Body Membranes
 Mucous
membranes
– Line body surfaces that open directly to
the exterior
– Produce mucus, a thick secretion that
keeps the membranes soft and moist
What are examples of mucous
membranes?
Serous Membranes
 Line
the cavities that do not
open to the outside world
 Double layered
– Visceral
– Parietal
 Serous
fluid is in the cavity
between them
Synovial Membranes
 Connective
tissue membranes
– Do not contain epithelial
components
– Produce a lubricant called synovial
fluid
– Examples are the synovial
membranes in the spaces between
joints and in the lining of bursal
sacs
Slide 9
Disorders of
Body Membranes
 Diseases
– Pleurisy—inflammation of the serous
membranes that line the chest cavity
and cover the lungs
– Peritonitis—inflammation of the serous
membranes in the abdominal cavity that
line the walls and cover the abdominal
organs
Integumentary System
 Integument
 Consists
= covering
of:
– Skin
– Accessory Organs:
 Hair
 Nails
 Glands
 The
Skin
largest organ of the body is the
Question
What
are the
functions of the
skin?
Functions of Skin
 Protects
from injuries
 Acts as barrier and regulates what
enters/leaves body.
 Regulates body temperature.
 Synthesizes, stores vitamins.
 Sensory functions
Functions of the Skin
 Sense
organ activity
– Skin functions as an enormous sense
organ
– Receptors serve as receivers for the
body, keeping it informed of changes in
its environment—disorders of the skin
(dermatoses)
Functions of the Skin
 Protection—first
line of defense
– Against infection by microbes
– Against ultraviolet rays from sun
– Against harmful chemicals
– Against cuts and tears
– Skin grafts
Structure of the Skin
3
main layers from superficial to
deep
1) Epidermis
Epiderm/o -is
above skin
structure
“structure above the skin”
a. Thin cellular membrane layer
Structure of the Skin (cont’d)
2) Dermis
Derm/o
Skin
“true skin”
-is
structure
a. thick, contains connective tissue
layer with collagen and elastic fibers,
epithelial tissue, smooth muscle
tissue, nervous tissue and blood
Sensory Structures of Dermis
 Deep
touch/pressure: Pacinian
corpuscles
 Light touch/pressure:
Meisner’s corpuscles
 Warm temperature: Free
nerve endings
 Cold temperature: Free nerve
endings
 Pain: Free nerve endings
Structure of the Skin (cont’d)
3) Subcutaneous tissue
Subcutane/o
-us
Below
skin
structure
“structure below the skin”
a. thick, fat-containing tissue
Hypodermis (Subcutaneous)
Recognize
d by
adipose
tissue.
Question
What
are some of
the appendages of
the skin?
The Skin
 Appendages
of the skin
– Hair
 Soft
hair of fetus and newborn called lanugo
 Hair growth requires epidermal tube-like
structure called hair follicle
 Hair growth begins from hair papilla
The Skin
 Appendages
of the skin
– Hair
 Hair
root lies hidden in follicle; visible part
of
hair called shaft
 Alopecia hair loss
 Arrector pili—specialized smooth muscle
that produces “goose pimples” and causes
hair to stand up straight
Slide 25
The Skin
 Nails
– Produced by epidermal cells over
terminal ends of fingers and toes
– Visible part called nail body
– Root lies in a groove and is hidden by
cuticle
– Crescent-shaped area nearest root
called lunula
– Nail bed may change color with change
in blood flow
Slide 28
The Skin
 Skin
glands
– Types
Sweat or sudoriferous
Sebaceous
 Skin
The Skin
glands
– Sweat or sudoriferous glands
Types
– Eccrine sweat gland
 Most numerous, important, and
widespread of the sweat gland
 Produce perspiration or sweat, which
flows out through pores on skin
surface
 Function throughout life and assist in
body heat regulation
The Skin
 Skin
glands
– Sweat or sudoriferous glands
Types
– Apocrine sweat gland
 Found primarily in axilla and around
genitalia
 Secrete a thicker, milky secretion
quite different from eccrine
perspiration
 Breakdown of secretion by skin
bacteria produces odor
 Skin
glands
The Skin
– Sweat or sudoriferous glands
 Types
– Sebaceous gland
 Secrete oil or sebum for hair and skin
 Level of secretion increases during
adolescence
 Amount of secretion regulated by sex
hormones
 Sebum in sebaceous gland ducts may
darken to form a blackhead
 Acne vulgaris inflammation of
sebaceous gland ducts
Dermis
Sweat gland
Sebaceous
gland
Arrector pili
muscle
Blood vessels
The Skin
 Appendages
of the skin
– Receptors
 Specialized
nerve endings—make it possible
for skin to act as a sense organ
 Meissner’s corpuscle—capable of detecting
light touch
 Pacinian corpuscle—capable of detecting
pressure

Burns
– Classification of burns
 First-degree (partial-thickness)
burns—only the surface layers of
epidermis involved
 Second-degree (partial-thickness)
burns—involve the deep epidermal
layers and always cause injury to the
upper layers of the dermis
 Third-degree (full-thickness) burns—
characterized by complete destruction
of the epidermis and dermis and
subcutaneous tissues.
Slide 44
THE SKIN
 Burns
– Treatment and recovery or survival
depend on total area involved and
severity or depth of the burn
– Body surface area is estimated
using the “rule of nines” (Figure 58) in adults
 Body
is divided into 11 areas of 9%
each
 Additional 1% located around genitals
Slide 45
Burns
 First-degree
(partial-thickness)
burns—only surface layers of
epidermis
involved
 Second-degree (partial-thickness)
burns—involve the deep epidermal
layers and always cause injury to
the upper layers of the dermis
Burns
 Third-degree
(full-thickness) burns
(Figure 6-14) characterized by complete
destruction of the epidermis, dermis,
and subcutaneous tissue
– May involve underlying muscle and bone
(fourth-degree)
– Lesion is insensitive to pain because of
destruction of nerve endings immediately
after injury—intense pain is soon
experienced
Burns
 Estimating
body surface area using
the “rule of nines” in adults
– Body divided into 11 areas of 9% each
– Additional 1% of body surface area
around genitals
Skin Lesions
 Elevated
lesions—cast a shadow
outside their edges
– Papule—small, firm raised lesion
– Plaque—large raised lesion
– Vesicle—blister
– Pustule—pus-filled lesion
– Crust—scab
– Wheal (hive)—raised, firm lesion with a
light center
Skin Lesions
 Flat
lesions—do not cast a shadow
– Macule—flat, discolored region
 Depressed
lesions cast a shadow
within their edges
– Excoriation—missing epidermis, as in a
scratch wound
– Ulcer—craterlike lesion
– Fissure—deep crack or break
Skin Cancer
 Three
common types
– Squamous cell carcinoma—the most
common type, characterized by hard,
raised tumors
– Basal cell carcinoma—characterized by
papules with a central crater; rarely
spreads
– Melanoma—malignancy in a nevus
(mole); the most serious type
Skin Cancer
 The
most important causative factor
in common skin cancers is exposure
to sunlight
 Kaposi sarcoma, characterized by
purple lesions, is associated with
AIDS and other immune deficiencies
Skin Infections
 Impetigo—highly
contagious
staphylococcal infection
– Tinea—fungal infection (mycosis) of the
skin; several forms occur
– Boils—furuncles; staphylococcal infection
in hair follicles
– Scabies—parasitic infection
Vascular and
Inflammatory Skin Disorders
Decubitus ulcers (bedsores) develop when
pressure slows down blood flow to local
areas of the skin
 Urticaria or hives—red lesions caused by
fluid loss from blood vessels
 Scleroderma—disorder of vessels and
connective tissue characterized by
hardening
of the skin; two types: localized and
systemic

Vascular and
Inflammatory Skin Disorders
Psoriasis—chronic inflammatory
condition accompanied by scaly
plaques
 Eczema—common inflammatory
condition characterized by papules,
vesicles,
and crusts; not a disease
itself but a symptom of an underlying
condition

PSORIASIS
