Chapter 5:
The Integumentary System
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIJhAWrsm0&list=PLF2F5D171DA2715B7
Size of the Integument
The integument is the largest system of the body:
16% of body weight
1.5 to 2 m2 in area
Connections to other systems
Circulatory system:
blood vessels in the dermis
Nervous system:
sensory receptors for pain, touch, and
temperature
Functions of Skin
Protects underlying tissues and organs
Excretes salts, water, and organic wastes (glands)
Maintains body temperature (insulation and
evaporation)
Functions of Skin
Synthesizes vitamin D3
Stores lipids
Detects touch, pressure, pain, and temperature
Parts of the Integument
The integument is made up of
2 parts:
1. cutaneous membrane (skin)
2. accessory structures
hair, nails and glands
Parts of the
Cutaneous Membrane
Outer epidermis:
superficial epithelium (epithelial tissues)
Inner dermis:
connective tissues
Skin Structure
Epidermis—outer layer
Stratified squamous
epithelium
Outer layers
keratinized
(hardened by keratin)
Dermis
Dense connective
tissue (beneath thin
layer of loose CT)
Layers of the Epidermis
Stratum corneum – outer 2030 layers of dead, heavily
keratinized cells
Stratum lucidum - thick,
hairless, “clear layer” skin of
palms and feet only
Stratum granulosum –
“grainy layer” produces keratin
Stratum spinosum – “spiny
layer” has an immune
response
Stratum basale – a.k.a.
stratum germinativum; stem
cells here give rise to all other
epidermal cells. Melanocytes
located here.
Thin Skin
Covers most of the body
Has 4 layers of keratinocytes
Thick Skin
Covers the palms of the hands and soles of the
feet
Has 5 layers of keratinocytes
Keratin, Melanin, and an Amazing Factoid!
Keratin – tough, pliable protein;
water resistant; gives skin, hair,
and nails protective properties
Stratum corneum is ‘cornified’
= filled with keratin
Cells are shed everyday;
stratum basale totally replaces
epidermis every 25 – 45 days!!
Melanin – pigment of skin color
Produced by melanocytes (usually in stratum basale)
Color is yellow to brown to black
Amount depends upon genetics and exposure to sunlight
Protects skin from sun damage
Dermis – deep to epidermis: 2 layers (has capillaries and
sensory neurons)
1. Papillary layer (upper dermal
region)
Projections called dermal
papillae
Capillary loops, pressure
and pain receptors,
fingerprints, made of areolar
tissue
2. Reticular layer (deepest skin layer).
Made of collagen & elastic fibers.
Blood vessels
Sweat and oil glands
Hair follicles
Deep pressure receptors
Damage to the Dermis:
Skin Damage
Sagging and wrinkles (reduced skin elasticity) are
caused by:
dehydration
age
hormonal changes
UV exposure
Stretch Marks
Thickened tissue resulting from:
excessive stretching of skin due to:
pregnancy
weight gain
Lines of Cleavage
Clinically significant:
A cut parallel to a cleavage line
will usually remain closed and
heals with little scarring.
A cut at a right angle to a cleavage
line will be pulled open as severed
elastic fibers recoil and will result
in greater scarring.
The skin contains two types of exocrine glands:
1. Sebaceous glands (oil glands):
secrete sebum -- inhibits bacteria growth, lubricates and protects
hair and skin.
2. Sweat glands: (2 types)
I.
apocrine – located in armpits and pubic region, produce a sticky,
cloudy, and potentially odorous secretion. Begin secreting at puberty.
I.
II.
Mammary glands of the breast are modified apocrine sweat
glands, a complex interaction between sex and pituitary hormones
controls their development and secretion.
merocrine – secrete “sweat” onto the skin, composed of 99% H2O.
Found all over the skin, the palms and soles have the highest number
per cm2. Cools the skin surface, flushes the surface of the skin.
Hair
Produced by hair
follicles
Consists of keratinized
epithelial cells
Melanocytes provide
pigment
Arrector pili – smooth muscle attached to follicle
and papillary layer cause ‘goosebumps’
Nails – heavily keratinized modifications of
epidermis
Stratum basale in nail matrix responsible for
growth, nail itself is mostly dead cells (like hair)
The Subcutaneous Layer
Subcutaneous layer (hypodermis):
Not part of the skin
Composed of loose connective
tissue: areolar & adipose tissue.
½ of your fat is stored here
Lots of blood vessels, location of hypodermic
injections.
Review
Burns – damage from heat, electricity, UV, chemicals
Burns – damage from heat, electricity, UV, chemicals
Severity of Burns
First-degree burns
Epidermis only
Red and swollen (typical sunburn)
Second-degree burns
Epidermis and upper dermis damaged
Red with blisters
Third-degree burns
Entire skin layer destroyed
Burn is gray-white or black
Rule of 9’s to estimate burn area.
Skin Cancer
Figure 5–6
Skin Cancer – uncontrolled cell division in skin
Skin cancer = #1 cancer
Basal cell carcinoma – least malignant, most common,
(stratum basale)
Squamous cell carcinoma – easy cure early, but does
metastasize to lymph nodes, (stratum spinosum)
Malignant melanoma – most deadly, rapid
metastasis to lymph and blood, (melanocytes)
ABCD Rule: detecting malignant melanoma
A = Asymmetry – opposite sides don’t match
B = Border irregularity – borders not smooth
C = Color – one mole, several colors
D = Diameter - >6mm (pencil eraser)
