II. Skin StructureII. Skin Structure

Epidermis – outer layer

Stratified squamous epithelium

Waterproof protein called keratin

Dermis

Dense connective tissue

Skin Structure – cont.Skin Structure – cont.

Deep to dermis is the hypodermis

Not part of the skin

Anchors skin to underlying organs

Composed mostly of adipose tissue

A. Layers of EpidermisA. Layers of Epidermis5 Layers

1) Stratum basale

Deepest; simple columnar

Cells undergoing mitosis

Lies next to dermis cells produce keratin

2) Stratum spinosum

Many layers of cuboidal cells

3) Stratum granulosum

3-5 rows of flattened cells

4) Stratum lucidum

Occurs only in thick skin

Palms of hand and soles of feet

5) Stratum corneum

20 -50 rows of flattend, dead cells

B. MelaninB. Melanin

Pigment (melanin) produced by melanocytes

Color is yellow to brown to black

Melanocytes are mostly in the stratum basale

Amount of melanin produced depends upon genetic and exposure to sunlight

C. DermisC. Dermis 2 layers of dense fibrous connective tissue

1)Papillary layer Uneven junction of dermis with epidermis Projections called dermal papillae Pain receptors Capillary loops

2)Reticular layer Blood vessels Glands Nerve receptors

Normal Skin Color DeterminantsNormal Skin Color Determinants Melanin

Yellow, brown or black pigments

Carotene Orange-yellow pigment from some

vegetables

Hemoglobin Red coloring from blood cells in dermis

capillaries

Oxygen content determines the extent of red coloring

D. Accessory Organs of the SkinD. Accessory Organs of the Skin

1) Hair

Nourished by the bulb

New hair cells produce keratin.

Melanocytes provide pigment for hair color

Page 14: Chapter 6 The Integumentary System. Integumentary System  Skin (cutaneous membrane)  Skin derivatives  Sweat glands  Oil glands  Hairs  Nails.

Associated Hair StructuresAssociated Hair Structures

Hair follicle – the region surrounding the root where the hair originates.

Arrector pilli

Smooth muscle

“goose-bumps”

D. Accessory Organs – cont.D. Accessory Organs – cont.

2) Sebaceous glands

Produce oily substance called sebum.

Lubricant for skin

Kills bacteria

“blackhead” – clogged oil gland

Most with ducts that empty into hair follicles

Glands are activated at puberty

Page 16: Chapter 6 The Integumentary System. Integumentary System  Skin (cutaneous membrane)  Skin derivatives  Sweat glands  Oil glands  Hairs  Nails.

D. Accessory Organs – cont.D. Accessory Organs – cont.

3) Sweat glands

Widely distributed in skin

Two types

Eccrine – function throughout life

Open via duct to pore on skin surface

Apocrine – begin working at puberty

Ducts empty into hair follicles

Active primarily during times of stress

Page 17: Chapter 6 The Integumentary System. Integumentary System  Skin (cutaneous membrane)  Skin derivatives  Sweat glands  Oil glands  Hairs  Nails.

Sweat and Its FunctionSweat and Its Function

Composition Mostly water Some metabolic waste Fatty acids and proteins (apocrine only)

Function Helps dissipate excess heat Excretes waste products Acidic nature inhibits bacteria growth

Odor is from associated bacteria

4) Nails Scale-like

modifications of the epidermis

Heavily keratinized

Nail matrix – contains an active stratum basale that is responsible for growth

Lack of pigment makes them colorless

5) Receptors – nerve cells that carry impulses toward CNS

• Sesations such as heat, pressure, fine touch and pain.

• Pacinian corpuscles - pressure

• Meissner’s corpuscles – fine touch, excessive temp and pressure change.

E. HypodermisE. Hypodermis

• Lies underneath the skin

• Composed of adipose tissue and loose connective tissue.

• Functions:

• Insulation

• Energy storage

• Protection

1. Rules of Nines1. Rules of Nines

Way to determine the extent of burns

Body is divided into 11 areas for quick estimation

Each area represents about 9%

Page 25: Chapter 6 The Integumentary System. Integumentary System  Skin (cutaneous membrane)  Skin derivatives  Sweat glands  Oil glands  Hairs  Nails.

2. Severity of Burns2. Severity of Burns First-degree burns

Only epidermis is damaged Skin is red and swollen

Second degree burns Epidermis and upper dermis are damaged Skin is red with blisters

Third-degree burns Destroys entire skin layer Burn is gray-white or black

Page 26: Chapter 6 The Integumentary System. Integumentary System  Skin (cutaneous membrane)  Skin derivatives  Sweat glands  Oil glands  Hairs  Nails.

3. Critical Burns3. Critical Burns

Burns are considered critical if:

Over 25% of body has second degree burns

Over 10% of the body has third degree burns

There are third degree burns of the face, hands, or feet

D. Skin CancerD. Skin Cancer

Cancer – abnormal cell mass

Two types Benign

Does not spread (encapsulated)

Malignant

Metastasized (moves) to other parts of the body

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer

E. Skin Cancer TypesE. Skin Cancer Types

Basal cell carcinoma Least malignant

Most common type

Arises from statum basale

Squamous cell carcinoma Arises from stratum spinosum

Metastasizes to lymph nodes

Early removal allows a good chance of cure

E. Skin Cancer TypesE. Skin Cancer Types

Malignant melanoma Most deadly of skin cancers

Cancer of melanocytes

Metastasizes rapidly to lymph and blood vessels

Detection uses ABCD rule

Page 30: Chapter 6 The Integumentary System. Integumentary System  Skin (cutaneous membrane)  Skin derivatives  Sweat glands  Oil glands  Hairs  Nails.

ABCD RuleABCD Rule A = Asymmetry

Two sides of pigmented mole do not match

B = Border irregularity Borders of mole are not smooth

C = Color Different colors in pigmented area

D = Diameter Spot is larger then 6 mm in diameter
