Exam 3: Integumentary System Flashcards
Integumentary system as protective barrier?
mechanical damage toxins dehydration - levels in 3rd degree burns uv light - vitamin D infection
Integumentary system and homeostasis and excretion
homeostasis: fluid, thermoregulation
excretion: glands
integumentary system in immunological and endocrine aspects
immunological: antigen processing
endocrine: growth factors
Integumentary system as vitamin production and sensory
vitamin production: vitamin D
sensory - thermoreceptors, pain receptors
Integumentary Components
skin - cutaneous membrane (epidermis, dermis)
accessory structures - glands, hair, nails
embryo covered by a single layer of ectodermal cells over mesenchymal tissue
embryo - first month
two layers of ectoderm form; deep basal layer will give rise to the epidermis
- the superficial layer forms the periderm
embryo - 2nd month
3 germ cell layers
endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm
what layer is superficial?
periderm
periderm function
protect you from fluid environment of the amniotic fluid
deep layer
basal
what does the basal layer give rise to?
epidermis
when does the periderm stay until?
keratin can be made by your own cells
multiple layers form, proliferation of basal layer
fetus - 3rd and 4th month
keratinocytes differentiate
keratinization occurs
confined layers appear
periderm breaks down once keratinization is present
5th month plus
keratinocytes
produce keratin
prevent from drying out, irritation
3 key points of the dermis
- dermis development lags behind epidermis by 1-2 weeks
- dermis development influences epidermal development by secreting epidermal growth factor
- proliferation in epidermis causes response in dermis - thickens
feedback between the dermis and epidermis
as epidermis thickens above the dermis, pressure inc in the dermis and the dermis thickens by secreting growth factor
- dermis sends signals for epidermis to get thicker, then causing dermis thickening underneath it
example of epidermis and dermis interactions
calluses on hands
- not system wide, just where the pressure is
the dermis originates from how many sites?
4
3 mesodermal and 1 ectodermal
dermis of back
derived from paraxial somites
dermis of ventral body and appendages
lateral mesoderm
dermis of cranium
superior somites
dermis of face and ventral neck
ectoderm
- same place you get epidermis from
- may see inc in glandular concentration since all ectoderm
