Integ Flashcards
Functions of the body membranes
Covers body surfaces body line and cavities for protective sheets Around organs
Epithelial membranes consist of three membranes
Continuous membranes
serious membranes
mucous membranes
Connective tissue membrane consists of What
Synovial membranes
Are simple organs
Epithelial membranes
Also called covering Covering and lining membranes
Epithelial membranes
Epithelial membranes contains
Epithelial tissue layer
connective tissue layer
Dry membrane
Cutaneous membrane
Outer most protective boundary
Cutaneous membrane
Cutaneous membrane Construction:
-epidermis is composed of Keratinizing Stratified squamous Epithelium
-It’s mostly dense fibrous connective tissue
Moist membranes
Mucous membranes
Line all body cavities that open to the exterior body surface
Mucous membranes
Adopted for absorption or secretion
Mucous membranes
Mucous membranes (Mucosae) Construction:
epithelium type depends on site
loose connective tissue ( Lamia Propia)
Line open body cavities that are closed to the exterior of the body
serous membranes (serosae)
Occur in pairs, separated by Serous fluid, who is a visceral and parietal layer
Serous membranes (serosae)
Serous membranes (serosae) Construction:
-Simple squamous epithelium
-Areolar connective tissue
Peritoneum
Abdominal cavity
Pleura
Around the lungs
Pericardium
Around the heart
Lose areolar connective tissue only (no epithelial tissue)
Synovial membrane
What are the two Line fibrous capsule surrounding joints
Line bursae
line tendon sheaths
Secrete a lubricating fluid to cushion organs moving against each other during muscle activity
Synovial membrane
Integumentary System consists of the
Skin ( cutaneous membrane)
skin appendages
sweat glands
oil glands
hair
nails
Integument means
Covering
Skin or the integument is considered an organ system because of its
Complexity and extent
The outermost portion which is divided into thin layers called strata (stratum)
Epidermis
It is composed of epithelial cells and contains no blood vessels (avascular)
Epidermis
A fibrous protein that gives the epidermis the durability and protective capabilities
Keratin
Spider-man black cells that produces the brown to black pigment called melanin
Melanocytes
Provides a protective pigment umbrella over the nuclei of the cells in deeper layers thus shielding their dna from the damaging effects of uv radiation
Melanin
A concentration of melanin in one spot is called
Freckles
Also called langerhan cells
Dendritic cells
This cells play a role in immunity
Dendritic cells
A single row of cells immediately adjacent to the dermis
Stratum basale ( basal layer)
Its cells are constantly undergoing mitotic cell division to produce millions of cells daily
Stratum basale
How many percent of the cells in this stratum are melanocytes
10% to 25%
Consisting of a several cell layers immediately superficial to basal layer
Stratum spinosum (spinal layer)
The cells contain thick web like bunale of intermediate filaments made of a free keratin protein
Stratum spinosum
It sells appears by spiky because as the skin tissue is prepared for histological examination they shrink but their dysmosomes hold tight
Stratum spinosum (spiny layer)
are the only ones to receive adequate nourishment via diffusion of nutrients from the dermis
Cells in the basal and spiny
….
…
Thin layer named for the abundant granules
Stratum granulosum (granular layer)
