Aging• Skin repair processes take longer due to
reduced number and activity of stem cells. • Skin forms wrinkles and becomes less resilient. • Skin’s immune responsiveness is diminished.• Skin becomes drier due to decreased
sebaceous gland activity.• Altered skin and hair pigmentation.

Aging• Sweat production diminishes. • Blood supply to the dermis is reduced
leading to impaired thermoregulation. • Hair thinning and loss. • Integumentary production of vitamin D3
diminishes. • Development of skin cancers.

Skin Cancer
• The most common type of cancer. • The greatest risk factor is exposure to UV
rays of the sun. • The highest incidence is in people who
have had severe sunburns, especially as children.
![Page 59: 1 Essentials of Human Anatomy Essentials of Human Anatomy Skin Dr Fadel Naim Ass. Prof. Faculty of Medicine IUG.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062223/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c4e7/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Skin Cancer
• Most skin tumors are benign and do not metastasize
• The three major types of skin cancer are:– Basal cell carcinoma– Squamous cell carcinoma– Melanoma
![Page 60: 1 Essentials of Human Anatomy Essentials of Human Anatomy Skin Dr Fadel Naim Ass. Prof. Faculty of Medicine IUG.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062223/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c4e7/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Basal Cell Carcinoma• Least malignant and most common skin cancer• Stratum basale cells proliferate and invade the
dermis and hypodermis• Slow growing and do not often metastasize• Can be cured by surgical excision in 99% of the
cases
![Page 61: 1 Essentials of Human Anatomy Essentials of Human Anatomy Skin Dr Fadel Naim Ass. Prof. Faculty of Medicine IUG.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062223/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c4e7/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma• Arises from keratinocytes of stratum spinosum• Arise most often on scalp, ears, and lower lip• Grows rapidly and metastasizes if not removed• Prognosis is good if treated by radiation therapy
or removed surgically
![Page 62: 1 Essentials of Human Anatomy Essentials of Human Anatomy Skin Dr Fadel Naim Ass. Prof. Faculty of Medicine IUG.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062223/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c4e7/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
MelanomaCancer of melanocytes is the most dangerous type
of skin cancer because it is:– Highly metastatic– Resistant to chemotherapy
![Page 63: 1 Essentials of Human Anatomy Essentials of Human Anatomy Skin Dr Fadel Naim Ass. Prof. Faculty of Medicine IUG.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062223/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c4e7/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
MelanomaMelanomas have these characteristics (ABCD rule)
– A: Asymmetry; the two sides of the pigmented area do not match
– B: Border is irregular and exhibits indentations– C: Color (pigmented area) is black, brown, tan, and
sometimes red or blue– D: Diameter is larger than 6 mm (size of a pencil
eraser)
![Page 64: 1 Essentials of Human Anatomy Essentials of Human Anatomy Skin Dr Fadel Naim Ass. Prof. Faculty of Medicine IUG.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062223/5a4d1b0d7f8b9ab05998c4e7/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Melanoma• Treated by wide surgical excision
accompanied by immunotherapy• Chance of survival is poor if the lesion is
over 4 mm thick
