The Integumentary System 5
Unit 1
Chapter 5
Integumentary System
The Body Covering
Includes: skin, nails & hairs
Skin = cutaneous membrane

Two main parts =
Epidermis- surface epithelial layer
Dermis -deeper connective tissue
layer
Deep dermis not part of the skin =
subcutaneous layer or Hypodermis

Structure

5
Keratinized stratified squamous
epithelium
4 cell types:
Keratinocytes
Melanocytes
Langerhans cells
Merkel cells
Unit 1
•
Epidermis
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keratinocytes
90% of epidermal cells
4-5 layers
Produce keratin
Protect skin
Waterproof skin

Unit 1
Epidermal Cells
Epidermal Cells
Melanocytes - produce melanin
Transfer pigment to keratinocytes
8% of epidermal cells

Epidermal Cells
•
Langerhans Cells- immune
response
Merkel cells – sensory
Include tactile disc and neuron
= touch sensation

Epidermal Layers
•
•
•
5
Generally 4 strata (layers)
Stratum basale –includes stem cells
Stratum spinosum – 8-10 cell layer
Cells beginning to look flattened
Stratum granulosum –keratin
Losing cell organelles and nuclei
Include lamellar granules = waterproofing lipid
•
Stratum corneum – flattened dead
cells
Cells shed and are replaced from below- mostly keratin-filled
Unit 1
•
Skin Color
•
5
Melanin- dark color
Darkness depends on amount of melanin
produced.
gives some protection against UV
•
Carotene- yellow orange
•
Hemoglobin in blood- pink-red
Depends on blood flow
Unit 1
In stratum corneum and adipose layers-
Accessory Structures
Hair
Skin glands
Nails

Hair
•
5
Found on most skin surfaces
Not on palmar surfaces of hand and fingers or plantar
surfaces of feet
Made of fused keratinized cells
Consists of shaft & root
Surrounded by hair follicle
Base is bulb which includes growing matrix producing cells
•
•
Nerves- hair root plexuses
Muscle- arrector pili

Glands
•
•
•
•
sebaceous gland- secrete oily sebum
Connected to hair follicles
sudoriferous or sweat gland
Eccrine sweat gland
Wide distribution- thermoregulation
apocrine sweat gland
Axilla, groin, areolae, beard
Contain other cell material and produce pheromes
Ceruminous Glands- external auditory
canal
Combine with sebum to produce earwax

Plates of packed hard dead
keratinized cells
Nail body- major visible portion
Free edge- part extending past
finger or toe
Root – part not visible

Functions
•
•
•
•
•
•
Adolescence- can develop acne
Mostly dermis- visible ~ age 40
Loss of collagen fibers
Loss of elasticity
Loss of immune responses
Decreased melanocyte functionsgray hair, blotches
•
Thinning
