Integumentary system Flashcards
2 parts of the integumentary system
Epidermis
Dermis
Lining of epidermis
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
4 cell types in epidermis
Keratinocytes
Melanocytes
Langerhans cells
Merkels cells
Most numerous cell in the epidermis
Keratinocytes
Cells that produces keratin
Keratinocytes
Most numerous protein in the SKIN or Epidermis
Keratin
Most numerous protein in the BODY
Collagen
Most numerous protein in the MUSCLE
Actin
Most numerous protein in the BLOOD
Albumin
Cells that produce melanin
Melanocytes
Yellow-red melanin
Pheomelanin (“phe-ow”)
Brown - black melanin
Eumelanin
Protects us from UV
Melanocytes (melanin)
Are melanocytes resistant or sensitive to light/UV?
Very sensitive to UV or light
What is the embryonic origin of melanocytes
Neural crest cells
2 cells that are derived from neural crest cells
Melanocytes
Neuroglia (glial cells)
Supporting cells of neurons
Neuroglia or glial cells
No melanin
Damaged nucleus=may cause melanoma
Their melanocytes can’t produce melanin
Albinism
Macrophage of the epidermis
Langerhans cells
Epidermal layer where langerhans are present
Stratum spinosum
Mechanoreceptor for sense of TOUCH seen in the EPIDERMIS
Merkel cells
Mechanoreceptor for LIGHT TOUCH that is seen in the DERMIS
Meissner corpuscles
Which is more sensitive Merkel or Meissner?
Meissner corpuscles
Located in stratum basale in epidermis where it contacts a sensory neuron called?
Merkel (Tactile) discs
Merkel cell together with its Merkel discs detects?
“Touch sensation”
Merkel cells are located in what layer of epidermis
Stratum basale
Layers of EPIDERMIS: Superficial to Deep
Come, Let’s Get Sun Burned
Corneum
Lucidum
Granulosum
Spinosum
Basale
Deepest layer of epidermis
Basale
2 epidermal layers which are sites of tonofilament production
Basale and Spinosum
Layer of epidermis with HIGHEST MITOTIC ACTIVITY of KERATINOCYTES
Stratum Basale
Future keratin
Tonofilaments
2 other names of stratum spinosum
Spiky layer
Prickle cell layer
Epidermal Cell layer with decreased mitotic activity of keratinocytes
Spinosum
Combination of stratum basale and spinosum
Stratum germinativum or Malpighian layer
Disease assoc with DEFICIENCY in melanin
Vitiligo
Amino acid needed to produce melanin, dopamine, epi, norepi and tyroxine
TYROSINE
Tyrosine give rise to : (3 derivatives)
Melanin
DOPA
Tyroxine
DOPA gives rise to
DOPA ➡️ Dopamine ➡️ Norepi ➡️ Epi
Disease assoc with LACK OF DOPAMINE which results to involuntary movements
Parkinson’s Disease
DOC for Parkinson’s Disease
Levadopa (L-Dopa)
Tyroxine gives rise to 2
T3 and T4
Other name for T3
Triiodothyronine
T4 is aka
Thyroxine
Which is more potent T3 or T4?
T3 (tulfo=matapang=more potent)
More numerous but no use T3 or T4?
T4
Epidermal layer where cells are undergoing APOPTOSIS
S. Granulosum
2 granules in S. Granulosum
Keratohyalin granules
Lamellar granules
Granules which converts tonofilaments to keratin
Keratohyalin granules
Granules in S. Granulosum which is a layer of lipid for protection (wag matuyo ang body)
Lamellar granules
Other term for S. Lucidum
Clear cell layer or Translucent layer
S. Lucidum is found in _ skin (3 examples)
Thick skin - Palm, soles, fingertips
Syndrome assoc with PALMOPLANTAR KERATODERMA ( abnormal thickening of Palm and Sole) (“P”)
Papillon- Lefevre Syndrome (“P”)Papillon - Palmo
Dental manifestation of Papillon Lefevre Syndrome
Periodontitis in children (“puppy=child”)
2 diseases assoc with periodontitis in CHILDREN

Chediak Higashi Syndrome (“chanak=child”)
Disease assic with CAFE AU LAIT SPOTS and PERIO in Children. (“C”)
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome (“C” - Chediak : Cafe)
Thickest layer of epidermis
Stratum corneum
