INTEGUMENTARY Flashcards
What is the largest system of the body (66%)
Integumentary system
Give functions of integumentary
Protection (abrasion, ultraviolet light, etc)
sensation
Production of Vitamin D (calcium synthesis)
Thermoregulation (sweat glands)
Excretion
it refers to subject to injury e.g. wound or lesion
Abrasion
The ability to interpret stimuli
sensation
Where does protein synthesis occur
liver
What are the two components of the skin
skin itself and skin derivatives/accessories
Three types of skin derivatives
hair, nail, and glands
Outermost; stratified squamous Inner layer very active in mitosis Keratinization – keratin production Outermost layer are dead rigid cells Permeability barrier Resists abrasion avascular
Epidermis
It means no blood vessel present
avascular
Where do you usually see most of the keratin present?
toes, elbows, scrotal sac, palm, sole
Give the anatomy of epidermis starting from the dead cells
dead cells > stratum corneum > stratum lucidum > stratum granulosum > stratum spinosum > stratum basale (stratum germinatium) > dermis
part of the anatomy of epidermis where it contains the sensory receptor
stratum spinosum
part of anatomy of epidermis where the cells are actively dividing or in a mitotic division
Stratum basale
Part of anatomy of epidermis where melanocytes are stored
Stratum granulosum
The inner layer of the skin
has connective tissue, blood vessels, oil and sweat glands, nerves, hair follicles, and smooth muscle.
Dermis
thin upper layer or dermis called the____, and a thick lower layer called the____
papillary dermis ; reticular dermis.
T or F
Papillary dermis contains blood vessels
T
It resists the stretch
Papillae/ cleavage lines
Why do doctors look for the cleavage lines when performing incision?
Because it reduces blood
Intradermal injection: ____
◦ Subcutaneous injection: ____
◦ Intramuscular injection: _____
Intravenous: blood transfusion
◦ Intradermal injection (tuberculin skin test)
◦ Subcutaneous injection (insulin)
◦ Intramuscular injection (vaccines, antibiotics)
Also known as the hypodermis
innermost layer of skin
fats and Adipose tissues
blood vessels and nerves
acts as an insulator to help regulate body temperature
Attachment to underlying bones and muscle
Subcutaneous Layer
If the cuticle is the outer covering for hair shaft, what about the medulla and cortex?
medulla is the middle layer while cortex is the inner layer
Hair is more concentrated in?
Genital area, axillary area, and scalp
This excrets sebum to make the hair only
Sebaceous gland
T or F
Hair papilla does not contain blood vessel
F
are small muscles attached to hair follicles. Contraction of these muscles causes the hairs to stand on end –GOOSE BUMPS
arrector pili muscles
▪ protect, condition and cool your skin surface.
▪ secrete an oily substance into the hair follicles of your skin
Simple sebaceous glands
Where do skin glands located?
Located in dermis portion of the skin/ reticular layer
This secretes sweat to thermorelugate
Sweat gland
What type of cells are found in sebaceous gland
Simple cuboidal cells
What are the importance of nails clinically?
If it turns gray, deterioration might occur and it can indicate if comatose will be occurring
protecting the distal phalanx, the fingertip, and surrounding soft tissues from injuries
Nail
It is a physiology of the skin that tackles:
◦ Prevents water loss
◦ Acts as barrier
◦ Against abrasion (underlying tissues)
◦ Damaging effects of UV light (melanin absorption)
◦ Hair as protective structure
◦ Nails – for defense
Protection
It is a physiology of the skin that tackles:
➢Receptors (pain, heat, cold, pressure)
Sensation
It is a physiology of the skin that tackles:
◦ Carried at the liver
◦ Ingest Vitamin D when insufficient
Stimulates small intestine to absorb Ca & phosphate
Production of vitamin D
from what food can you usually obtain vitamin D?
Eggs, milk, fish
It is a physiology of the skin that tackles:
➢Body temperature influences chemical reaction ➢Dilation of blood vessels in the dermis ➢Constriction of dermal blood vessels
Thermoregulation
It is a physiology of the skin that tackles:
Removal of waste products
Excretion
