Structure of the Integument
• 16% of body mass• Composed of:
1. Cutaneous Membrane: 1. Epidermis– Superficial epithelium2. Dermis – underlying CT with blood supply
2. Accessory Structures: originate in dermis1. Hair2. Nails3. Exocrine Glands

Functions of the Integument
• Protects underlying tissues from infection, exposure and dehydration
• Excretes salts, water, and organic waste• Maintains normal body temp:
- conserve and radiate heat• Synthesizes Vitamin D3 for calcium
metabolism• Stores Nutrients and Fat• Sensory detection:
- touch, pressure, pain, and temp.

Connections
• Circulatory system:– blood vessels in the dermis
• Nervous system:– sensory receptors for pain, touch, and
temperature

The main structures and functions
of the epidermis.
![Page 8: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Epidermis
• Avascular stratified squamous epithelium
• Nutrients and oxygen diffuse from capillaries in the dermis
![Page 9: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cells of the Epidermis
• Keratinocytes:– contain large amounts of keratin– the most abundant cells in the epidermis
• Thin Skin: Hairy– Covers most of the body – Has 4 layers of keratinocytes
• Thick Skin: No Hair– Covers the palms of the hands and soles of
the feet– Has 5 layers of keratinocytes
![Page 10: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Structures of the Epidermis
• The 5 strata of keratinocytes in thick skin
Figure 5–3
![Page 11: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Layers of the Epidermis
• From basal lamina to free surface:– stratum germinativum– stratum spinosum– stratum granulosum– stratum lucidum– stratum corneum
• Transit from stratum basale to stratum corneum: – 15-30 days
• Duration at stratum corneum: – 7-14 days
• Complete turnover ever 25-45 days
![Page 12: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Stratum Germinativum/Basale
• The “germinative layer”: Single Layer– has many germinative (stem) cells or basal cells– is attached to basal lamina by hemidesmosomes– forms a strong bond between epidermis and dermis– Cells:
• basal/germinative cells (stem cells), melanocytes (melanin), some Merkel cells in hairless skin (touch receptors)
Structure:• Epidermal ridges (e.g., fingerprints) • Dermal papillae (tiny mounds):
– increase the area of basal lamina– strengthen attachment between epidermis and
dermis
![Page 13: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Layers of the Epidermis
2. Stratum Spinosum:– 8-10 layers keratinocytes attached by desmosomes– some cells can divide– some Langerhans cells present (immune response)
3. Stratum Granulosum:– 3-5 layers keratinocytes producing keratin fibers,
keratohyaline granules, and lamellated granules• Keratin = basic structural component of hair and nails• Keratohyaline = Promotes dehydration of the cells and
cross-linking of keratin fibers
– No cell division, nuclei and organelles being to disintegrate
![Page 14: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Layers of the Epidermis
4. Stratum Lucidum: - thick skin only, flat packed keratin filled keratinocytes
5. Stratum Corneum:– 15-30 layers dead keratinocytes that have
been keratinized (cornified)• Soft keratin fibers glued in paralled arrays by
keratohyaline– Extracellular space filled with glycolipids from
lamellated granules• Cornified = water and chemical resistant
– not water proof since interstitial fluid can evaporate
![Page 15: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Ridges and Ducts
Figure 5–4
The corrugated border between dermis and epidermis helps bond the epidermis and dermis - increased surface area for attachmentIn thick skin epidermal ridges show on the surface as fingerprints: Function – enhance gripping
![Page 16: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Dandruff is caused by excessive shedding of cells from the outer layer of skin in the scalp. Thus dandruff is
composed of cells from which epidermal layer?
1. stratum germinativum2. stratum spinosum3. stratum corneum4. stratum granulosum
![Page 17: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A splinter that penetrates to the third layer of the epidermis of the
palm is lodged in which layer?
1. stratum lucidum2. stratum germinativum3. stratum spinosum4. stratum granulosum
![Page 18: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Some criminals sand the tips of their fingers so as not to leave recognizable
fingerprints. Would this practice permanently remove fingerprints? Why
or why not?1. Yes, because the dermal
papillae die if exposed.2. No, because the ridge patterns
regenerate.3. Yes, because the stratum
germinativum thickens hiding ridge patterns.
4. No, because different ridge patterns will appear with re-growth.
![Page 19: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Characteristics of Skin
• Skin is water resistant but not water proof:– Insensible perspiration:
• Water from interstitial fluids evaporate• Water loss can not be seen or felt • water loss through skin: ~500ml (1 pint)/day
– More if damaged (e.g. burn)
– Sensible perspiration:• Aware of water loss• Produced by active sweat glands
![Page 20: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Characteristics of Skin
– Callus: • Thickening of skin, due to friction
– Blister:• Separation of epidermal layers or
epidermis form dermis• space fills with interstitial fluid
![Page 21: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Skin Color
• Pigment based: epidermal pigments and blood pigments contribute to the color
1. Epidermal Pigmentation2. Dermal Circulation
![Page 22: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Skin Color
1. Epidermal Pigmentation A. Carotene: yellow-orange, from diet
- converted into Vitamin A- localized to epithelium- functions in normal maintenance of epithelia and
photoreceptors- excess accumulates in stratum
corneum B. Melanin: Brown, from melanocytes
- for UV protection
![Page 23: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. Epidermal Pigmentation
• Melanocytes: in stratum basale– Synthesize melanin from tyrosine
(amino acid)– Packaged in melanosomes– Melanosomes are transferred to
cytoplasm of keratinocytes– Cluster around top side of nucleus– Eventually digested by lysosomes
• Everyone has ~1000 melanocytes/mm2
– Pale People: small melansomes, present on in stratum basale and spinosum
– Dark People: larger, greater number of melansomes, retained up through stratum granulosum
![Page 24: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1. Epidermal Pigmentation
• Freckles:– Overproduction of melanin form single
melanocytes
• UV exposure:– Some needed for Vitamin D3 production– Excess = damage (DNA mutation)
• Harm Fibroblasts impaired maintenance of the dermis resulting in altered CT structures
– Wrinkles• Chromosomal damage of Epidermal cells or
melanocytes cancer– Squamous cell carcinoma– Melanoma
![Page 25: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Skin2. Dermal Circulation: hemoglobin pigment
- Oxygenated blood:
- red color, hemoglobin in RBCs, through skin=pink - Vasodilation skin looks more red
- Vasoconstriction skin looks more pale - Cyanosis:
- low oxygen, blood deep purple, skin appears blue/purple
- results form low temp., heart failure, asthma
![Page 26: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Abnormal Skin Color• Jaundice:
– Liver fails to excrete bile– Bile accumulates in skin = yellow
• Addison’s Disease: – Pituitary secretes excess adrenocorticotropic
hormone, stimulates melanoctyes, excess melanin, bronzing
• Albinism: – Genetic mutation in melanin biosynthesis pathway– Lack pigmentation in skin, hair and eyes
• Vitiligo:– Autoimmune disease destruction of
melanocytes
![Page 27: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Vitamin D3 Production
• Cells of stratum spinosum and basale:– UV energy + cholesterol = Vitamin D3
• Vitamin D3:– used by kidney to synthesize the hormone
calcitriol• Calcitriol:
– necessary to signal small intestine to absorb calcium
• No VitD no calcitriol no calcium
absorption weak bones
![Page 28: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
KEY CONCEPT
• The epidermis:– is a multilayered, flexible, self-
repairing barrier– prevents fluid loss– protects from UV radiation
– produces vitamin D3
– resists abrasion, chemicals, and pathogens
![Page 29: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Why does exposure to sunlight or sunlamps darken skin?
1. UV stimulates melanocytes.2. Melanin darkens in sunlight.3. Stratum corneum cells appear
brown.4. Keratin appears brown when
heated.
![Page 30: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why does the skin of a fair-skinned person appear red
during exercise in hot weather?
1. Sunlight stimulates erythrocyte production in skin.
2. Blood is diverted to the superficial dermis to eliminate heat.
3. Sunlight bleaches fair skin, allowing blood to be seen.
4. Heat stimulates cutaneous blood vessels, causing leaks.
![Page 31: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
In some cultures, women must be covered completely, except for their eyes, when
they go outside. Explain why these women exhibit a high incidence of problems with
their bones.
1. UV light prevents calcium deposition in bones.
2. Melanin production is necessary for bone growth.
3. Cloth prevents oxygen from diffusing into skin and bones.
4. UV light is necessary to produce the hormone cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).
![Page 32: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The structures and functions of the dermis.
![Page 33: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Dermis
• Is located between epidermis and subcutaneous layer
• Anchors epidermal accessory structures – hair follicles, sweat glands
• Contains:– All cells of CT proper, accessory organs of
integument, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, and sensory receptors
• Has 2 components:– outer papillary layer – deep reticular layer
![Page 34: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Dermis• Papillary layer:
– Thin (20%)– Consists:
• Areolar CT• Comprise dermal papillae• Capillaries, lymphatics, and sensory neurons
– Function: feed epidermis
• Reticular Layer:– Thick (80%)– Consists:
• Dense irregular CT• Elastic and Collagen fibers
– Function: provide strength and flexibility
![Page 35: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Dermis• Collagen fibers from reticular layer
– blend into papillary and subcutaneous layers to attach integument to body
• Wrinkles = Dermis stretched beyond its elastic capacity– collagen fibers damaged
• Stretch marks = collagen and elastic fibers torn– Thickened tissue resulting from pregnancy, weight
gain, muscle gain• Collagen and Elastin fibers arranged in parallel
bundles:– aligned to resist the expected direction of force =
lines of cleavage• Cuts parallel to lines of cleavage will heal faster
and with less scar than those perpendicular
![Page 36: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Dermis• Dermis highly vascularized:
– must “feed” itself and epidermis above
• Contusion: – bruise, trauma that ruptures blood
vessels but does not break skin, blood pools in dermis and must be removed by phagocytes (slow process)
![Page 38: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Dermatitis
• An inflammation of the papillary layer• Caused by
– infection, radiation, mechanical irritation, or chemicals (e.g., poison ivy)
• Characterized by – itch or pain
• Characteristics– Strong, due to collagen fibers– Elastic, due to elastic fibers– Flexible
![Page 39: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Skin Damage
• Sagging and wrinkles (reduced skin elasticity) are caused by:– dehydration– age– hormonal changes– UV exposure

The Hypodermis
• The subcutaneous layer or hypodermis: – lies below the integument– Not part of cutaneous membrane– Stabilizes position of skin while
permitting independent movement of skin and muscles
![Page 47: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Subcutaneous Layer (aka Hypodermis)
• Areolar and adipose CT• Tightly interwoven with reticular layer
of dermis• Children: even layer of adipose• Puberty: Adipose shifts
– Male: neck, arms, abdomen, lower back– Female: breast, buttocks, hips, thighs
• No vital organs: safe for “SubQ” injection, vascular for quick absorption
![Page 48: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Functions of Hair
• Function:– Protects and insulates– Guards openings against particles and insects– Is sensitive to very light touch
• Structure of Hair Follicle:– Hair Follicle– Glassy membrane– Hair bulb– Hair papilla– Hair Matrix
• Structure of Hair:– Hair root– Hair shaft
![Page 53: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The Hair Follicle
• Hair is produced in organs called hair follicles
• Tube of stratified squamous epithelium anchored in dermis
• Surrounds, supports, and produces hair
• Two layers:– Internal Root Sheath:
• contacts hair
– External Root Sheath:• contacts glassy membrane
![Page 54: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Hair Follicle Structure• Glassy membrane
– Thick basal lamina between epithelial follicle and connective tissue dermis
• Hair bulb consist of epithelial cells– Expanded base of follicle that
surrounds papilla and matrix– Responsible for producing hair by
forming the hair matrix layer• Hair Matrix
– Dividing epithelial/basal cells and melanocytes above papilla that form new hair
– Cells gradually push toward the surface
• Hair papilla– CT at base of bulb, contains
capillaries and nerves– Supports matrix
![Page 55: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Hair Structure
• Hair Root: – Embedded in dermis– Not yet fully formed– Contains live cells
• Hair Shaft:– Pokes through epidermis– Fully organized dead hair– Three layers1. Cuticle: outermost, overlapping dead
keratinized cells form shiny surface2. Cortex: middle layer, dead cells contain hard
keratin to provide stiffness3. Medulla: core, dead cells contain soft keratin
and air to provide flexible
![Page 56: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Hair Structure• Shape of the Shaft determines feel:
– Flattened shaft = kinky hair– Oval shaft = silky and wavy hair– Round shaft = straight and often stiff hair
• Two types of Hair produced:1. Vellus Hairs = “peach fuzz”
- Lacks medulla- Covers body, at puberty hormones can trigger
switch to terminal hairs- Vellus hairs present at the armpits, pubic area,
and limbs switch to terminal hairs in response to circulating sex hormones
2. Terminal Hairs = head, eyebrows and eyelashes- Thick, coarse, pigmented
![Page 57: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Hair Color
• red: iron added• Range yellow to black due to
melanin from melanocytes in hair matrix– Melanin stored in cortex and medulla
With age, melanin declines, air pockets in medulla increase = gray or white hair
![Page 58: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Hair Growth• Hair in the Scalp:
– Grows for 2-5 yrs, at a rate of 0.33 mm per day• During hair growth:
– Cells of the hair root absorb nutrients and incorporate them into the hair structure History of Exposure• Result clipping or collecting hair for analysis is
helpful in diagnosing several disorders (ex. Heavy Metals, nucleus = DNA)
– The root is firmly attached to the matrix of the follicle
• At the end of growth:– The follicle becomes inactive termed club hair
• Follicle gets smaller• Connections between the hair matrix and the club hair
root breaks down. • Another cycle begins:
– Follicle produces a new hair– The old club hair is pushed to the surface and shed
![Page 59: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Hair Growth~0.33mm/day, not continuous: cycle of growth and rest1. Active phase:
- new hair added to hair root by dividing cells of hair matrix (weeks – years)
2. Regressive phase: - cells of hair matrix stop dividing- hair root and hair papilla separate loose hair = club hair
3. Resting phase: - cells of hair matrix and hair follicle remain inactive (1-3 months)
New Active Phase Begins
Hair length differences = difference in time spent in active phase:eyebrows = few monthshead – many years
![Page 60: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
• Shedding of the hair occurs only after the next growth cycle begins and a new hair shaft begins to emerge.
• On average 50 - 100 hairs are shed every day. • The percentage of follicles in the resting phase will
vary at any time depending on the body area. • Factors that can affect the hair growth cycle and
cause temporary or permanent hair loss (alopecia) including:– medication, radiation, chemotherapy, exposure
to chemicals, hormonal and nutritional factors, thyroid disease, generalized or local skin disease, stress, and high fevers.
![Page 61: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Hair Growth• Alopecia:
– Shift from terminal hair to vellus hair, thinning/balding, some degree expected with age
• Male Pattern Baldness:– Genetic alopecia, early age onset– Caused by a shift from terminal to vellus hair
production due to a change in the level of sex hormones circulating in the blood
– Treatment: • Aimed at converting vellus hairs to terminal hairs
• Hair Removal:– Difficult to achieve permanent result– Any remaining matrix cells can regenerate all hair
follicle structures
![Page 62: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Hair Function
• Head: – UV protection– Cushion from trauma– Insulation
• Nostrils, Ear canals, Eyelashes:– Prevent entry of foreign material
• Body Hair: – sensory detection
![Page 63: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Hair Function: Sensory Detection
• Root hair plexus:– Sensory nerves at base of
hair follicle that detect slight movement of hair
• Arrector pili muscle:– Attached to every hair
follicle– Contract to stand hair
perpendicular to skin surface• Goose bumps
– Smooth muscle: involuntary
![Page 64: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
What happens when the arrector pili muscle contracts?
1. Sebum is released.2. Goose bumps are evident.3. Sweat is produced.4. Blood flow is increased.
![Page 65: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Once a burn on the forearm that destroys the epidermis, and
extensive areas of the deep dermis heals, will hair grow again in the
affected area?
1. Yes.2. No.3. Only in areas where the deep
dermis was destroyed.4. Only in areas where the
epidermis and deep dermis were not destroyed.
![Page 66: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
The skin glands and secretions.
![Page 67: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Exocrine Glands
• Sebaceous glands (oil glands):– holocrine glands (which destroys gland cells)– secrete sebum
• Sudoriferous Glands/Sweat Glands A. Merocrine/Eccrine sudoriferous glands B. Apocrine sudoriferous/sweat gland Sweat glands:
• merocrine glands• watery secretions
![Page 68: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Integumentary Glands• All are exocrine glands
– Secrete product onto skin surface via a duct
1. Sebaceous glands- Holocrine secretion- Secrete sebum into hair follicle- Sebum = lipids + cholesterol + proteins +
electrolytes- Function:
- Lubricate and protect keratin- Prevent evaporation- Inhibit bacterial growth
Sebaceous glands active in fetus, then off until puberty, and then back on for the whole adult life
Acne = Inflammation of a sebaceous gland,* Usually due to bacterial infection
![Page 69: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Integumentary Glands
2. Sudoriferous Glands/Sweat Glands A. Merocrine/Eccrine sudoriferous glands
- 2 to 5 million all over body- produce sensible perspiration: - 99% water - electrolytes + organic nutrients
+ antibodies + antimicrobial agents + organic waters
- merocrine secretion - secretion via exocytosis of vesicles- small coiled tubular glands- located in superficial dermis- open directly on surface of skin- secrete in response to high temp. or stress
![Page 70: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Functions of Sensible Perspiration
1. Evaporation cooling of surface of skin to reduce body temp.
2. Excrete waste electrolytes and drugs3. Protection:
- Prevent adherence of microbes: antibodies
- Physically wash off microbes- Antimicrobial agents of kill microbes
- Dermiciden (antibiotic)
![Page 71: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Integumentary Glands2. Sudoriferous Glands/Sweat Glands
B. Apocrine sudoriferous/sweat gland- merocrine secretion- armpits, nipples, groin- secrete into hair follicle- secretion is stick and cloudy:
- sensible perspiration + protein + lipids- microbes eat it wastes = body odor- glands deep in dermis- Surrounded by myoepithelial cells: myo = muscle
- contraction of cells in response to sympathetic nervous system
stimulation causes discharge of secretion- Active only after puberty
Special Apocrine Sweat Glands:1. Mammary Glands: - Located in female breast & Secrete milk during lactation2. Ceruminous Glands:
- Located in external ear canal & Secrete cerumen (earwax)
![Page 72: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Integumentary Gland Control
• Merocrine sudoriferous glands:– can be turned on and off in localized regions
in response to temperature or emotions
• Sebaceous and apocrine sudoriferous glands:– Autonomic nervous system controls the
activation and deactivation of these glands therefore they affect all the glands
– are either all on (body wide) or all off– no local control
![Page 73: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)

Nails• Scale like projections on
dorsal surface of distal digits• Function:
– protect tips from mechanical stress, assist in gripping
• Consists of dead cells containing hard keratin
• New nail formed at nail root• Cuticle = stratum corneum• Nail growth is continuous

How injured skin responds and repair
itself.
![Page 79: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Injury and Repair
• Integument can function independent of nervous and endocrine systems to maintain own homeostasis
• Mesenchymal cells of dermis can regenerate connective tissue
• Germinative cells (basal cells) of epidermis can regenerate tissue
![Page 80: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Repair of Localized Injuries to the Skin: Step 1
• Bleeding occurs• Mast cells
trigger inflammatory response
Figure 5–13 (Step 1)
![Page 81: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Repair of Localized Injuries to the Skin: Step 2
• A scab stabilizes and protects the area
Figure 5–13 (Step 2)
![Page 82: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
The Inflammatory Response
• Germinative cells migrate around the wound
• Macrophages clean the area• Fibroblasts and endothelial cells
move in, producing granulation tissue
![Page 83: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Repair of Localized Injuries to the Skin: Step 3
• Fibroblasts produce scar tissue
• Inflammation decreases, clot disintegrates
Figure 5–13 (Step 3)
![Page 84: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Repair of Localized Injuries to the Skin: Step 4
• Fibroblasts strengthen scar tissue
• A raised keloid forms
Figure 5–13 (Step 4)
![Page 85: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Injury and Repair• Repair may end up like original tissue or
keloid– Keloid = thick area of scar tissue covered by
smooth epidermis
• Burns:– First degree burn: heals on own
• Damage to surface of epidermis– Second degree burn: heals on own
• Damage to epidermis and superficial dermis– Third degree burn: Requires skin grafts or “living bandages”
• Damage to whole cutaneous layer (epidermis, dermis, accessory structures), granulation tissue cannot form thus no healing
![Page 86: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Burns
• If burn > 20% of body can kill
– It affects:1. Fluid and electrolyte
balance2. Thermoregulation3. Protection from
pathogens
![Page 87: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
What do you call the combination of fibrin clots, fibroblasts, and the extensive network of capillaries in
healing tissue?
1. granulation tissue2. scar3. scab4. callus
![Page 88: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Why can skin regenerate effectively, even after considerable damage?
1. Stratum germinativum persists deep within the body.
2. Stem cells persist in all components of the skin.
3. Hypodermis will transform into epidermis and dermis.
4. Surrounding skin spreads and fills in damaged area.
![Page 89: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)

Age Related Changes1. Stem cell activity declines:
- Skin thin, repair is difficult2. Langerhans cells decrease:
- Reduced immune response3. Vitamin D3 production declines:
- Calcium absorption declines brittle bones4. Glandular activity declines:
- skin dry, body can overheat5. Bloody supply to dermis declines:
- tend to feel cold6. Hair follicles die or produce thinner hair:
- terminal vellus7. Dermis thins and becomes less elastic wrinkles8. Sex characteristics fade:
- Fat deposits spread out, hair patterns change
![Page 91: Chapter 5: The Integumentary System. The structures and functions of the integumentary system.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e2f5503460f94b1febe/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Older individuals do not tolerate the summer heat as well as they did when they were young, and they are more prone to heat-related illness. What
accounts for these changes?
1. Blood supply to the dermis is reduced.
2. Glandular activity declines.3. Melanocyte activity declines.4. All of the above.
