unit 1 notes pt 3 Flashcards
describe the functions of the integumentary system
protection body temperature regulation. cutaneous sensation metabolic functions blood reservoir excretion
protection
- chemical barrier: acid mantle, defesin, cathelicidins,melanin
- physical barrier: stratum corneum
- biological barrier: dendritic cells, macrophages, DNA
body temperature regulation
insensible perspiration, sensible perspiration, arrector pili muxcle, vasoconstriction. vasodilation
cutaneous sensation
exteroreceptors- tactile(meissner’s) corpuscle, tactile disc, lamellar (pacinian) corpuscle, hair follicle receptor, free nerve ending
metabolic functions
vitamin d synthesis
blood reservoir
vasoconstriction
excretion
notrogenous wastes, sodium, water
epidermis
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, keratinocyte. melanocyte, dendritic (langerhans) cell, tactile(merkel) cells
dermis
connective tissue, nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels
epidermis
stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum,
stratum corneum
stratum basale
mitosis, keratinocytes, melanocytes
stratum spinosum
keratinocytes, melanin granules, langehanss’ cell
stratum granulosum
keratinocytes, keratohyaline granules, lamellar granules
stratum lucidum(thick skin only)
palms and soles of feet
stratum corneum
keratin
