Mucous Membranes
•Surface epithelium type depends on site•Stratified squamous epithelium (mouth, esophagus)
•Simple columnar epithelium (rest of digestive tract)
•Underlying loose connective tissue (lamina propria)
•Lines all body cavities that open to the exterior body surface
•Often adapted for absorption or secretion

Serous Membranes
• Surface is a layer of simple squamous epithelium• Underlying layer is a thin layer of areolar connective tissue
• Lines open body cavities that are closed to the exterior of the body
• Serous membranes occur in pairs separated by serous fluid• Visceral layer covers the outside of the organ• Parietal layer lines a portion of the wall of ventral body cavity
![Page 9: Skin and Body Membranes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163c1550346895dd4e24a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Skin Structure
•Subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is deep to dermis•Not technically part of the skin•Anchors skin to underlying organs•Composed mostly of adipose tissue
![Page 20: Skin and Body Membranes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163c1550346895dd4e24a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Layers of the Epidermis
•Summary of layers from deepest to most superficial•Stratum basale•Stratum spinosum•Stratum granulosum•Stratum lucidum (thick, hairless skin only)•Stratum corneum
![Page 21: Skin and Body Membranes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163c1550346895dd4e24a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Layers of the Epidermis
• Stratum basale (stratum germinativum)• Deepest layer of epidermis• Lies next to dermis • Wavy borderline with the dermis anchors the two together
• Cells undergoing mitosis• Daughter cells are pushed upward to become the more superficial layers
• Stratum spinosum• Stratum granulosum
![Page 22: Skin and Body Membranes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163c1550346895dd4e24a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Layers of the Epidermis
•Stratum lucidum•Formed from dead cells of the deeper strata•Occurs only in thick, hairless skin of the palms of hands and soles of feet
•Stratum corneum•Outermost layer of epidermis•Shingle-like dead cells are filled with keratin (protective protein prevents water loss from skin)
![Page 23: Skin and Body Membranes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163c1550346895dd4e24a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Melanin
•Pigment (melanin) produced by melanocytes•Melanocytes are mostly in the stratum basale•Color is yellow to brown to black•Amount of melanin produced depends upon genetics and exposure to sunlight
![Page 24: Skin and Body Membranes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163c1550346895dd4e24a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Normal Skin Color Determinants
• Melanin• Yellow, brown, or black pigments
• Carotene• Orange-yellow pigment from some vegetables
• Hemoglobin• Red coloring from blood cells in dermal capillaries• Oxygen content determines the extent of red coloring

Alterations in Skin Color
•Redness (erythema)—due to embarrassment, inflammation, hypertension, fever, or allergy
•Pallor (blanching)—due to emotional stress such as fear, anemia, low blood pressure, impaired blood flow to an area
•Jaundice (yellowing)—liver disorder•Bruises—hematomas

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; burned area is painless• Burn is gray-white or black

•Burns are considered critical if•Over 25 percent of body has second-degree burns
•Over 10 percent of the body has third-degree burns
•There are third-degree burns of the face, hands, or feet

Skin Cancer Types
•Malignant melanoma•Most deadly of skin cancers•Cancer of melanocytes•Metastasizes rapidly to lymph and blood vessels
•Detection uses ABCD rule

ABCD 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
