Chapter 6 INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Flashcards
where is the integumentary system found? provide examples?
covers body
skin
accessary tissues
EX: nails, hair ,skin,sweat glands, sebaceous glands
integument?
skin
dermatology
study of skin
Layers of skin ?
- Epidermis- epithelial
- dermis-deeper layer
- subcutaneous layer(hypodermis)-NOT PART OF INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
deep to dermis
Epidermis epithelium of the integument?
5 layers(strata) of integument
1. startum corneum
2. stratum lucidum
3.stratum granulosum
4,stratum spinosum
5. stratum basale
Keratinized, stratifies squamous epithelial
the 5 layers of the skin
LETS GET SUN BURNED
first 3 layers are composed of living keratinocytes
keratinocytes
make up 90 percents of epidermis
Three cell types in stratum basale
keratinocytes- in all layers
melanocytes- produce and store pigment
tactile cells- Merkel cells
Stratum spinosum
8-10 layers
have desmones
startum granulosum
3-5 layers of keratinocytes
keratinocytes begin keratinization
startum lucidum
found only in thick skin
palms and soles
cells filled with eleidin- product of keratin maturation
stratum corneum
20-30 layers of dead skin
anucleate (no nucleus), keratinized cells
anucleate
a- nu -cleate( a- no nucleus)
Variations in epidermis?
thick skin-palms , feet
have sweat glands
NO HAIR FOLLICLE
thin skin-
most of body ( except palms and feet)lacks stratum lucidum layer ( thats only in thibk skin)
