INTEGUMENTARY (2nd ppt) Flashcards
cover surfaces, line body cavities, and form protective sheets around organs
BODY MEMBRANES
Function of body membranes (3)
• LINE OR COVER BODY SURFACES
• PROTECT BODY SURFACES
• LUBRICATE BODY SURFACES
CLASSIFICATION OF BODY MEMBRANES (2)
- EPITHELIAL MEMBRANES
- CONNECTIVE TISSUE MEMBRANE
KINDS OF EPITHELIAL MEMBRANES
- CUTANEOUS MEMBRANES
- MUCOUS MEMBRANES
- SEROUS MEMBRANES
Types of Cutaneous Membrane
• cutaneous membrane = skin
• Superficial epidermis
• Underlying dermis
A dry membrane and the outermost protective boundary
CUTANEOUS MEMBRANE = SKIN
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
SUPERFICIAL EPIDERMIS
Mostly dense (fibrous) connective tissue
UNDERLYING DERMIS
• Surface epithelium (Type depend on site)
• Underlying loose connective tissue (lamina propria)
MUCOUS MEMBRANES
• Lines all body cavities that open to the exterior body surface
• Often adapted for absorption or secretion
• Wet membranes bathed in secretions
MUCOUS MEMBRANES
• Surface simple squamous epithelium
• Underlying areolar connective tissue
SEROUS MEMBRANES
• Lines open body cavities that are closed to the exterior of the body
• Occur in pairs – parietal and visceral
• Serous layers separated by
serous fluid
SEROUS MEMBRANES
SPECIFIC SEROUS MEMBRANES
• Peritoneum (Abdominal cavity)
• Pleura (Around the lungs)
• Pericardium (Around the heart)
• Areolar connective tissue only
• Lines fibrous capsules surrounding joints
• Line small sac of connective tissue called bursae and the tube-like tendon sheaths
Synovial membrane
Skin derivatives
• Sweat glands
• Oil glands
• Hairs
• Nails
Skin Protects deeper tissues from:
• Bacterial damage
• Chemical damage
• Desiccation
• Mechanical damage
• Thermal damage
• Ultraviolet radiation
• Protective and cushioning
• Waterproof
• Aids in heat regulation
• Aids in excretion of salts, urea and uric acid
• Synthesizes vitamin D
• Contains sensory receptors
SKIN STRUCTURE
• EPIDERMIS
• DERMIS
• HYPODERMIS
• outer layer
• Stratified squamous epithelium
• Often keratinized (hardened by keratin)
EPIDERMIS
Dense connective tissue
DERMIS
• Deep to dermis
• Not part of the skin
• Anchors skin to underlying organs
• Composed mostly of adipose tissue
• Serves as shock absorber and insulation for deeper tissues
HYPODERMIS
LAYERS OF EPIDERMIS
• Stratum basale
• Stratum granulosum
• Stratum lucidum (Occurs only in thick, hairless skin)
• Stratum corneum
• deepest layer
• Cells undergoing mitosis
• Lies next to dermis and receives nutrients from the dermis by diffusion
STRATUM BASALE
old stratum basale cells
STRATUM SPINOSUM
old stratum spinosum cells
STATUM GRANULOSUM
Occurs only in thick, hairless skin
STRATUM LUCIDUM
• Shingle-like dead cells that are 3⁄4 of the epidermal thickness
• Completely filled with keratin cells called cornified or horny cells
STRATUM CORNEUM
• Pigment produced by melanocytes
• Color is yellow to brown to black
• Melanocytes are mostly in the stratum basale
• Amount of melanin produced depends upon genetics and exposure to sunlight
MELANIN
two layers of Dermis
Papillary layer
Reticular Layer
• Projections called dermal papillae
• Pain receptors and touch receptors
• Capillary loops for nutrients
• Result in fingerprints
PAPILLARY LAYER
• Blood vessels
• Sweat and oil glands
• Nerve receptors
RETICULAR LAYER
