Integumentary Structure/Function
Integumentary System consists of skin, hair, nails, and various glands
It is the most visible organ system

Integumentary Structure/Function
Integumentary System Components (2 major ones)1. Cutaneous membrane - skin
• Epidermis• Dermis• Accessory structures – hair, nails, and a
variety of exocrine glands2. Subcutaneous layer (aka -hypodermis):
attaches the integument to much deep structures such as muscles and bones

Functions
Main Functions of the Integument (5)1. Protection: covers and protects
underlying organ systems while prevent the loss of bodily fluids
2. Temperature maintenance: regulates heat exchange with the environment
3. Synthesis and storage of nutrients:makes vitamin D, a steroid building
block needed for calcium uptakeStores lipids in adipose tissue
Functions
Main Functions of the Integument (5)4. Sensory reception: receptors
detect, touch, pressure, pain, and temperature – information goes to the nervous system
5. Excretion and secretion: glands excrete salts, water, and organic wastes

Layers of The Epidermis (5)
Cell Layers of The Epidermis (5) – in order from the basement membrane
1. Stratum germinativum (stratum = layer + germinare = start growing)
2. Stratum spinosum3. Stratum granulosum4. Stratum lucidum (only in thick skin)5. Stratum corneum
• Dying superficial layer• Keratin accumulationCopyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Integumentary Structure/FunctionThe Structure of the Epidermis
Figure 5-2
Layers of The Epidermis (1 of 5) 1. Stratum germinativum: Deepest layer -
attached to the basement membrane which separates the epidermis from loose connective tissue of the dermis• Forms epidermal ridges – extends into the
dermisHas dermal projections called dermal papillae – extend upward into
between adjacent ridges• Increases the surface area
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Layers of The Epidermis (1 of 5)1. Stratum germinativum: •Contains Stem cells
• Cell division layer• Source of replacement cells
•Contains Melanocytes•Synthesize melanin (yellow-brown
brown or black pigments produced by Melanocytes)
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Layers of The Epidermis (2, 3, and 4 of 5)
• Intermediate strata As they grow upwards they become specialized
2. Stratum spinosum (spiny layer)Superficial to stratum germinativum – cells may
continue to divide3. Stratum granulosum (grainy layer)
No cell division –replaced by Stratum spinosumStarts making keratin – coats the skin and makes the
basic structure of hair and nails4. Stratum lucidum (clear layer)
Densely packed and flattened cells filled with keratin
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Layers of The Epidermis (5 of 5)
5. Stratum corneum• Most superficial layer• Flattened (squamous) cells – 15 to 30 layers• Dead cells• Abundant keratin
•Keratinized (also, cornified)•Tough, water-resistant protein
• Tightly Pack – shed in sheets•Keratinized
Epidermis Sources of Skin Color•Melanocytes
• Make melanin• Melanin provides UV protection• Gives reddish-brown to brown-black color
•Carotene• Contributes orange-yellow color• Provided from diet
•Hemoglobin• Blood pigment

Skin Cancer Facts
Most of the more than 1 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosed yearly in the United States are considered to be sun-related. Melanoma will account for about 60,000 cases of skin cancer and most (about 80%) of the deaths due to skin cancer each year.

Epidermis
DermisComponents of the Integumentary System
Figure 5-1
Dermis
Dermis: found beneath the epidermis. It has two major components
1. Papillary layer2. Reticular Layer
Dermis: 1. Papillary Layer
Underlies epidermis• Named for dermal papillae• Loose connective tissue• Supports, nourishes epidermis• Provides sensory nerves,
lymphatics, and capillaries
Dermis: 2. Reticular Layer
Tough, dense, fibrous layer• Collagen fibers - Limit stretch• Elastic fibers - Provide flexibility• Blends into papillary layer (above)• Blends into subcutaneous layer
(below)

Accessory Structures
Accessory Structures (4 main structures)1. Hair 2. Sebaceous glands3. Sweat Glands4. Nails
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Accessory Structures - Hair
Hairs project above the surface of the skin almost everywhere except the side and soles of the feet, the palms of the hands, sides of the fingers and toes, and the lips
Accessory Structures - Hair
Hairs are non-living and produced in organs called follicles
There are about 2.5 million hairs on the human body!
• About 500,000 on the scalp that protect the head from UV light, provide insulation, and help cushion the skull form a light blow.
• Eyelid and nostril hair have a function

Accessory Structures: NailsForms on the dorsal surface of finger and toes
•Nail body- visible part of the nail• Dense mass of keratinized cells
•Nail bed – body of the nail which covers a layer of epidermis
•Nail root – where nail production takes place•Cuticle (eponychium) – portion of stratum
corneum of the fold that extends over the exposed nail closest to the root
• Lunula – area where underlying blood vessels are obscure

Skin Injury and Repair
Four Stages in Skin Healing1. Inflammation
• Blood flow increases• Phagocytes attracted
2. Scab formation3. Cell division and migration4. Scar formation

After several hours, a scab has formed and cells of the stratum germinativum are migrating along the edges of the wound. Phagocytic cells are removing debris, and more of these cells are arriving with the enhanced circulationin the area. Clotting around the edgesof the affected area partially isolatesthe region.

One week after the injury, the scab has been undermined by epidermal cells migrating over the meshwork produced by fibroblast activity. Phagocytic activity around the site has almost ended, and the fibrin clot is disintegrating.
Fibroblasts
After several weeks, the scab has been shed, and the epidermis is complete. A shallow depression marks the injury site, but fibroblasts in the dermis continue to create scar tissue that will gradually elevate the overlying epidermis.

Skin Injury and Repair
Table 5-1
Aging of the Skin
Major Age-Related Changes• Injury and infection increase• Immune cells decrease (by 50%)• Sun protection diminishes – melanin
production deceases• Skin becomes dry, scaly – reduced glandular
production•Hair thins, grays – follicles die or make thinner
hair, melanin production decreases
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Aging of the Skin
Major Age-Related Changes• Sagging, wrinkles occur – thinner dermis with
reduced elastic properties•Heat loss decreases – blood supply to skin
reduced at the same time as glandular production reduction
•Repair slows – due to recurrent infections (at 65-75 it takes 6-8 weeks for a blister to heal compared to 3-4 weeks

Figure 5-104 of 11
The Nervous System
• Controls blood flow and sweat gland activity for thermoregulation; stimulates contraction of arrector pili muscles to elevate hairs
• Receptors in dermis and deep epidermis provide sensations of touch, pressure, vibration, temperature, and pain
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 5-105 of 11
The Endocrine System
• Sex hormones stimulate sebaceous gland activity; male and female sex hormones influence hair growth, distribution of subcutaneous fat, and apocrine sweat gland activity; adrenal hormones alter dermal blood flow and help mobilize lipids from adipocytes
• Synthesizes vitamin D3, precursor of calcitriol
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 5-106 of 11
The Cardiovascular System
• Provides oxygen and nutrients; delivers hormones and cells of immune system; carries away carbon dioxide, waste products, and toxins; provides heat to maintain normal skin temperature
• Stimulation by mast cells produces localized changes in blood flow and capillary permeability
