Chapter 6: Integument System Flashcards
Cutaneous membrane is also called the ___
Integument System
ncludes both the skin +
(nails, hair, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands).
Integument System
Epidermis - keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Dermis -dense irregular connective tissue
Layers of the Integument
Layers of the Integument
Epidermis -keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Dermis -dense irregular connective tissue
-Avascular
-gets nutrition from the capillaries in the dermal papillae
Epidermis
cell type: keratinocytes is in what integument layer
Epidermis
(the most abundant cell type)
keratinocytes
produce melanin
shields the DNA from UV radiation
melanocytes
shields the DNA from UV radiation
melanocytes
called Merkel cells (sensitive to touch)
tactile cells
what cell initiates the immune response?
+ in what layer of epidermis ?
epidermal dendritic cells (Langerhans cells)
(In Stratum Spinosum)
(only in “thick skin” of palms and soles)
stratum lucidum
Layers (strata) from deep to superficial:
Stratum basale
Stratum spinosum
Stratum granulosum
Stratum lucidum
Stratum corneum
Palms of hands, soles of feet
has five epidermal strata
has no hair follicles or sebaceous glands (but has sweat glands)
Thick skin
covers most of the body (lacks a stratum lucidum)
4 strata
Thin Skin
has no hair follicles or sebaceous glands (but has sweat glands)
Thick skin
2 Layers of Dermis
Papillary layer (Areolar CT)
Reticular layer (deeper) (Dense irregular CT)
Papillary layer of dermis is made of what type of tissue?
Areolar connective tissue
Reticular layer of dermis is made of what type of tissue
Dense irregular connective tissue
Papillary layer has projections called
, dermal papillae
has projections called , dermal papillae
Papillary layer
collagen and elastic fibers oriented in tension lines
Lines of Cleavage:
(in dermis)
pads and protects the body
acts as an energy reservoir
provides thermal insulation
Subcutaneous Layer
Areolar and adipose CT are apart of what Layer
Subcutaneous Layer
metabolic regulation: UV light promotes Vit D3 (cholecalciferol) production
-increases absorption of calcium and phosphate
