INTRODUCTION
• All living things are made of cells• Cells join together to make tissues• Tissues join together to form organs
![Page 3: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Skin
• Skin is the principal organ of the integumentary system
• Skin is one of a group of anatomically simple but functionally important sheetlike structures called membranes
![Page 4: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Membranes
![Page 5: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Membranes
• A membrane is a thin, sheetlike structure with many important functions in the body
• Membranes cover and protect the body surface, line body cavities, and cover the inner surfaces of the hollow organs.
![Page 6: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two major categories of membranes
• Epithelial – composed of epithelial tissue and an underlying layer of specialized connective tissue
• Connective tissue membranes – composed exclusively of various types of connective tissue
![Page 7: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Three types of epithelial membranes
–Cutaneous
–Serous
–Mucous
![Page 8: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cutaneous Membrane
![Page 9: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cutaneous Membrane
• Commonly called the skin• One of the largest and more
versatile organs of the body
![Page 10: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Functions of Cutaneous Membrane
• Protective covering• Regulates body temperature• Prevents water loss• Houses sensory receptors• Synthesizes various biochemical• Excretes small qualities of waste
![Page 11: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Serous Membranes
![Page 12: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Serous Membranes• Found only on surfaces within closed
cavities• Composed of 2 layers of tissue – the
epithelial sheet and a thin layer of connective tissue
• Secrete serous fluid- watery fluid which lubricates the membranes surface
![Page 13: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Serous Membranes
• Two types:–Parietal – lines the walls of a body cavity–Visceral – covers the surface of organs
found in the body cavities
![Page 14: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Serous Membranes
• Pleura–Serous membranes that line the thoracic
cavity• Peritoneum
–Serous membranes that line the abdominal cavity
![Page 15: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mucous Membranes
![Page 16: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mucous Membranes
• Lines cavities and tubes that are open to the outside
• Consist of epithelial overlying a layer of loose connective tissue
• Specialized cells within a mucous membrane secrete mucus
![Page 17: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Mucous Membrane
• Examples – linings of:–Respiratory–Digestive–Urinary, and–Reproductive tracts
![Page 18: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Mucocutanous Junction
![Page 19: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mucocutanous Junction
The transitional area that serves as a point of “fusion” where the skin and mucous membranes meet
![Page 20: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Connective Tissue Membranes
• Also called synovial membranes• Line the spaces between bones and
joints that move• Slick, smooth membranes that secrete
synovial fluid, which lubricates the ends of bones within the joint
• Reduce friction between bones
![Page 21: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cutaneous Membrane (Skin)
Composed of the following layers:• Epidermis-outer layer of skin• Dermis- middle layer of skin• Subcutaneous-innermost layer of
skin – thick layer of loose connective tissue and fat
![Page 22: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Epidermis
• Tightly packed epithelial cells arranged in layers
• Inner – stratum germinativum • Outer – stratum corneum
![Page 23: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Epidermis
• Inner layer – stratum germinativum – cells specialize to increase their ability to protect the tissues below them. This enables the skin to repair itself if it is injured. As the cells approach the surface, the cytoplasm is replaced by keratin, a protein which is tough and waterproof and protects the body
• Sometimes called the pigment layer because it is responsible for melanin production
![Page 24: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Epidermis
• Outer layer – stratum corneum
• Keratin-filled cells are constantly pushed to the surface and “flake off”
• Millions of epithelial cells reproduce daily to replace the millions shed
![Page 25: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Melanin
• Melanocytes are the cells within the pigment layer that produce melanin
• Melanin is a dark pigment that provides skin color
![Page 26: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Melanin• Melanin absorbs light energy and protects
deeper cells from the ill effects of UV light.• Skin color is due largely to melanin• Color is mostly genetically determined but
can also be modified by sunlight exposure
![Page 27: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Skin Color Abnormalities
• Cyanosis - bluish discoloration of the skin
• Jaundice - yellowish discoloration of the skin
• Erythemia - reddish discoloration
![Page 28: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Skin Color Abnormalities
• Vitiligo – patchy areas of light skin resulting from the acquired loss of epidermal melanocytes. Most cases are genetic in origin.
• Albinism – hereditary condition, characterized by a partial or total lack of melanin. Affected individuals are prone to eye damage and sunburn
![Page 29: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dermis
• Binds the epidermis to the subcutaneous layer
• Contains blood vessels, hair follicles, nerve endings, sweat glands and nerve fibers
![Page 30: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Dermis
• Upper region has parallel rows of peg like projections called dermal papillae
• Form the dermal-epidermal junction• Form groves and ridges that make
fingerprints• The pattern of these are unique in
every person
![Page 31: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Dermis, cont.• Deeper area of dermis is collagen that
gives toughness to skin. • Elastic fibers are present• Makes skin stretchable and elastic• Wrinkles form as skin loses elasticity
![Page 32: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Appendages-Hair• Millions of small hairs cover the body• Follicles - present at birth, required for hair
growth• Newborns are covered with soft, fine hair called
lanugo• Areas of body that are hairless are lips, palms of
hands and soles of feet• Most visible on scalp, eyelids and eyebrows
![Page 34: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Appendages-Hair
• Growth begins from a small cluster of cells called the papilla.
• Cells grow down into the dermis forming a small tube called the hair follicle
• The root is the part of the hair that we can’t see (under the skin)
• The shaft is the part of the hair we can see
![Page 35: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Appendages-Hair• Alopecia is hair loss
• Arrector pili – involuntary muscle that contracts when we are frightened or cold, producing raised places called “goose bumps” or “goose pimples.”
![Page 36: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Appendages-Receptors• Act as sense organs• Relay messages such as touch, pain, temperature and
pressure• Free nerve endings - respond to pain• Meissner’s corpuscles - located near the surface and
detects light touch• Ruffini’s corpuscles – located in dermal layer and
subcutaneous tissues of fingers, detect touch and pressure
• Pacinian corpuscle- deep in dermis and capable of detecting pressure
• Krause’s end bulb-responds to cold
![Page 37: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Appendages-Skin Glands
• Apocrine Sweat Glands–Found in axilla and in pigmented areas of
genitals–Large, secrete milky secretions–Produces odor that is caused by mixing
with skin bacteria–Enlarge and begin functioning at puberty
![Page 42: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Appendages-Skin Glands• Sebaceous Glands
–Secrete oil for the hair and skin–Grow where hair grows–Tiny ducts open into hair follicles so that
their secretion, called sebum, can lubricate hair and skin.
–Sebum darkens to form blackheads–Acne vulgaris is the over secretion of
sebum

Burns-Classifications
• Third-Degree Burns–Complete destruction of the epidermis
and dermis–Tissue death extends to subcutaneous
layer–Insensitive to pain due to destruction of
nerve endings–Increased fluid loss
![Page 51: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Burns-Classifications
• Fourth-Degree Burns–Full thickness burn that extends below the
subcutaneous layer to reach muscle or bone–Often result from electrical burns or exposure
to intense heat over time– Insensitive to pain due to destruction of nerve
endings– Increased fluid loss
![Page 52: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813352550346895d9a6069/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Burns-Classifications
• Serious burns result in over 50,000 hospital admissions each year.
• Circulatory shock, fluid loss, respiratory injury, and infections are common complications.
• May require skin grafting or amputation of limbs
