ch5 integumentary system and body membranes Flashcards
Body membranes
epithelial membranes and connective tissue membranes.
Epithelial membrane types
cutaneous membrane ( skin)
serous membranes, and
mucous membranes.
two types of serous membranes:
not open
parietal, which lines the walls of body cavities on the inside
visceral, which covers the organs found in body cavities.(its within the parietal)
pleura have parietal and visceral layers..
in the thoracic cavity and cover the lungs.
peritoneum has parietal and visceral layers…
which line the walls of the abdominal cavity
Mucous membranes
line the body surfaces that open directly to the exterior. These produce mucus, which is a thick secretion that keeps the membranes soft and moist.

cilia traps, protects, and projects to get rid of foriegn material
Connective tissue membranes
lubricant called synovial fluid. Examples of these connective tissues are synovial membranes in spaces between joints and in the lining of bursal sacs. kneecap/patella
The skin has two primary layers:
the epidermis is the outermost and thinnest primary layer of the skin.
and the dermis is composed largely of connective tissue.
stratum germinativum
growth of new skin where mitosis occurs
is the innermost layer of cells that continually reproduce, pushing new cells toward the surface
deepest epidermal layer is responsible for
production of the pigment, which gives color to the skin.
NOT subcutaneous tissue
dermis
is composed largely of connective tissue.
also contains nerve endings, muscle fibers, hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and many blood vessels.
upper papillary layer of the dermis
fingerprinting and improves grip for tool use and walking.
Deeper reticular layers of the dermis
network of tough collagenous, and stretchable elastic fibers. it decreases with age and contributes to wrinkle formation.
accessory structure of the skin
hair, nails, receptors of the skin
lanugo
soft hair of a fetus and newborn is called
