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)
Contain a waterproofing glycolipid that is secreted into the extracellular space
Lamellar granule
Combine with the intermediate filaments in the more superficial layers to form keratin fibrils
Keratohyaline granule
What are the cells that contain in the stratum granulosum
Lamilar granule keratohyaline granule
A very thin translucent band of flattened dead keratinocytes with indistinct boundaries
Stratum lucidum (clear layer)
it is not present in region of thin skin
Stratum lucidum (clear layer)
The outermost epidermal layer consists of 20 to 30 cell layers and accounts for the bulk of the epidermal thickness
Stratum corneum ( horny layer)
Cells in this layer are dead and their flattened scale like remnants are fully keratinized
Stratum corneum (horny layer)
they are constantly rubbing off and being replaced by division of the deeper cells
Stratum corneum (horny layer)
So called true skin has a framework of elastic tissue and is well supplied with blood vessels and nerves
Dermis
What are the two principal region of the dermis
Papillary layer
reticular layer
The more superficial dermal region composed of areolar connective tissue
Papillary layer
Very uneven layer and has finger like projections from its perior surface and attached to the epidermis
Dermal papillae
in palms of the hands and souls of the feet they produce the fingerprint pain and touch receptors are found in this layer
Dermal papillae
-The deepest skin layer
-it is composed of dense irregular connective tissue and contain many arteries and veins sweat and sebaceous glands and pressure receptor
Reticular layer
Nerve endings of capillaries
for pain and pressure
Pacinian corpuscle
Nerve ending sensitive to skin stretch
Ruffini endings
Nerve ending sensitive to light touch
Meissner’s corpuscle
Have endings that provide touch information to the brain
Merkel’s disk
Also referred to as hypodermis or the superficial fascia
the dermis rest on this layer
this layer connects to skin to the surface muscle
it consists of loose connective tissue and large amount of adipose tissue fat tissue
the fat serves as insulation and as a reserve for supply for energy
Subcutaneous layer
the dermis rest on this layer
Subcutaneous layer
this layer connects to skin to the surface muscle
Subcutaneous layer
it consists of loose connective tissue and large amount of adipose tissue fat tissue
Subcutaneous layer
the fat serves as insulation and as a reserve for supply for energy
Subcutaneous layer
Sac like structure and their oily secretion sebum lubricates the skin and hair prevents drying
Sebaceous oil glands
Babies are born with the covering produced by this glands called
Vernix caseosa ( cheesy varnish)
Modified sebaceous glands and are associated with the eyelashes and produce a secretion that lubricates the eyes
Meibomian glands
-Consists of a mixture of dried sebum and keratin that may collect at the openings of the sebaceous glands
-if these glands become infected pimple result
Blackheads
Are coiled tube like structures located in the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue
Sudoriferous ( sweat ) glands
-most of its functions to cool thebody -they release sweat that draws heat from the skin as the moistured evaporates at the surface
Sudoriferous ( sweat ) glands
Types of sweat glands
Eccrine
apocrine
-Distributed throughout the skin
- each gland has a secretory portion and executory tube that extends directly to the surface and opens at a pore
Eccrine
Found in the ear canal that produces ear wax (cerumen)
Ceruminous glands
Found at the edges of the eyelids
Ciliary glands
Sweat glands located mainly in the armpits (axillae) and groin area
Apocrine
These glands become active at puberty and release their secretions through the hair follicle in response to emotional stress and sexual stimulation
Apocrine
Body odor develops from the action of bacteria in breaking down these organic cellular materials
Apocrine
Almost all of the body is covered with?
Hair
Hairless regions
Palms of the hands
Soles of the feet
Nipple
Lips

Keratin
In this growth region add pigment to the developing hair
Melanocytes

Shaft
The portion below the skin
Roots
Thin bands of involuntary muscles that when it contracts the hair is raised (goosebumps)
Arrector pili (hair raiser)
Made of hard keratin produced by cells that originate in the outer layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum)

Second degree burn (partial thickness burn)
-Destroys epidermis and dermis burned area is painless
-requires skin graphs as regeneration is not possible
-burn area is blanched
3rd degree burn (full thickness burn)
-Extends into deeper tissues bone muscle tendons
- appears dry and leathery
-require surgery and grafting -may require amputation
4th degree burn
is divided into thin layers called
strata (stratum)
