INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
This system is called the integumentary system.
• Integument is another name for the skin • The skin itself is the principal organ of the
integumentary system. • The skin is the largest organ in the body• The skin is one of a group of anatomically simple
but functionally important sheet-like structures called membranes.

THE SKIN
Membranes • Cover and protect the body surface • Line body cavities • Cover the inner surfaces of the hollow organs
such as the digestive, reproductive, and respiratory passageways.

THE SKIN
Membranes• Some membranes anchor organs to each other
or to bones • others cover the internal organs. • In certain areas of the body, membranes secrete
lubricating fluids that reduce friction during organ movements such as the beating of the heart or lung expansion and contraction.
• Membrane lubricants also decrease friction between bones in joints.

CLASSIFICATION OF BODY MEMBRANES
• Classification of body membranes There are 2 main types of membranes• Epithelial membranes—composed of
epithelial tissue and an underlying layer of connective tissue
• Connective tissue membranes—composed largely of various types of connective tissue
Slide 6
Slide 7
Types of body membranes. A, Epithelial membranes, including cutaneous membrane (skin), serous membranes (parietal and visceral pleura and peritoneum), and mucous membranes. B, Connective tissue membranes, including synovial membranes.

CLASSIFICATION OF BODY MEMBRANES
• Epithelial membranes• Cutaneous membrane—the skin• Serous membranes—simple squamous epithelium
on a connective tissue basement membrane• Types
• Parietal—line walls of body cavities• Visceral—cover organs found in body cavities
• Examples• Pleura—parietal and visceral layers line walls of thoracic
cavity and cover the lungs• Peritoneum—parietal and visceral layers line walls of
abdominal cavity and cover the organs in that cavity• 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

SEROUS MEMBRANE
Serous Membrane
Line ventral body cavities (pleural, peritoneum, pericardium); transparent, thin, prevents friction

THE SKIN
Cutaneous Membrane
The skin; covers the outer surface of the body. In contrast to serous or mucous membranes, the cutaneous membrane is thick, relatively waterproof, and usually dry.

CLASSIFICATION OF BODY MEMBRANES
• Epithelial membranes (cont.)• Mucous membranes
• Line body surfaces that open directly to the exterior
• Produce mucus, a thick secretion that keeps the membranes soft and moist
Slide 11

MUCOUS MEMBRANE
Mucous Membrane
Mucous membranes are coated with the secretions of mucous glands.
They line most of the digestive and respiratory tracts and portions of the urinary and reproductive tracts.
Line passageways that communicate with exterior
Slide 12

CLASSIFICATION OF BODY 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 13
Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE
Synovial Membrane
Line join cavities (articulations) and produces the synovial fluid within the joint.
The synovial fluid lubricates the cartilages in the joint, distributes oxygen and nutrients, and cushions shocks at the joint.

THE SKIN
• Structure: two primary layers called epidermis and dermis• Epidermis
• Outermost and thinnest primary layer of skin• Composed of several layers of stratified
squamous epithelium• Stratum germinativum—innermost layer of cells
that continually reproduce; new cells move toward the surface
• As cells approach the surface, they are filled with a tough, waterproof protein called keratin; eventually cells flake off of body
• Stratum corneum—outermost layer of keratin-filled cells
Slide 15

THE SKIN
• Skin pigment—produced by deepest epidermal layer; gives color to the skin• The brown pigment melanin is produced by
specialized cells in deepest epidermal layer• Blisters—caused by breakdown of union
between cells or primary layers of skin
Dermal-epidermal junction—specialized area between two primary skin layers

THE SKIN
Dermis• Deeper and thicker of the two primary
skin layers; composed largely of connective tissue
• Upper papillary layer of dermis characterized by parallel rows of tiny bumps called dermal papillae
• Ridges and grooves in dermis form pattern unique to each individual• Basis of fingerprinting• Improves grip for tool use and
walking
Slide 18

THE SKIN
• Deeper reticular layer of dermis filled with network of tough, interlacing, collagenous and stretchable elastic fibers• Number of elastic fibers decreases with
age and contributes to wrinkle formation• Dermis also contains nerve endings,
muscle fibers, hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and many blood vessels

THE SKIN
• Accessory structures of the skin (cont.)• Skin glands—two types
• Sweat, or sudoriferous, glands• Eccrine sweat glands
• Most numerous, important, and wide-spread of the sweat glands
• Produce perspiration or sweat, which flows out through pores on skin surface
• Function throughout life and assist in body heat regulation
• Apocrine sweat glands• Found primarily in axilla and around genitalia• Secrete a thicker secretion quite different from
eccrine perspiration• Breakdown of secretion by skin bacteria produces
odor

THE SKIN
• Sebaceous glands• Secrete oil or sebum for hair and skin• Level of secretion increases during
adolescence• Amount of secretion is regulated by sex
hormones• Sebum in sebaceous gland ducts may
darken to form a blackhead

Skin CancerThe three most common types of skin cancer
are• Squamous cell carcinoma, • Basal cell carcinoma • Malignant melanoma
Slide 31

THE SKIN
Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation is thought to be the most important factor in causing the common skin cancers.
• UV radiation damages the DNA in skin cells, causing the mistakes in mitosis that produce cancer.
• Skin cells have a natural ability to repair UV damage to the DNA, but in some people, this inherent mechanism may not be able to deal with a massive amount of damage.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma• A common type of skin cancer, squamous cell
carcinoma,is a slow-growing malignant tumor of the
epidermis. • Lesions begin as hard, raised nodules that are
usually painless (Figure 5-7, A). • If not treated, squamous cell carcinomas will
grow in size and eventually metastasize or spread

Basal Cell Carcinoma• The most common type of skin cancer, • Usually appears on the upper face • Originating in cells at the base of the epidermis,• Much less likely to metastasize• It often appears first as a small, raised lesion that
erodes in the center to form a bleeding, crusted crater

Melanoma• Malignant melanoma is the most serious form of
skin cancer. • This type of cancer sometimes develops from a
benign or noncancerous pigmented mole, and then transforms into a dark, spreading cancerous lesion

Warning Signs of Malignant Melanoma
ABCD Rule
Asymmetry Benign moles are usually symmetrical; their halves are mirror images of each other.Melanoma lesions are asymmetrical or lopsided.
Border Benign moles are outlined by a distinct border, but malignant melanomal lesions are oftenirregular or indistinct in shape.
Color Benign moles may be any shade of brown but are relatively evenly colored; melanoma lesionstend to be unevenly colored, exhibiting a mixture of shades or colors.
Diameter By the time a melanoma lesion exhibits characteristics A, B, and C, it also is probably largerthan 6 mm (14 inch).

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 5-8) in adults• Body is divided into 11 areas of 9% each• Additional 1% located around genitals
Slide 41
Slide 42
The “rule of nines.” Dividing the body into 11 areas of 9% each helps to estimate
the amount of skin surface burned in an adult.

THE SKIN
• Burns (cont.)• 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
• May involve underlying muscle and bone• Lesion is insensitive to pain because of destruction of
nerve endings immediately after injury—intense pain is soon experienced
• Risk of infection is increased
