Chapter 5
The Integumentary System
The largest organ in the body
(~18 sq. feet)
![Page 2: The Integumentary System - Anatomy and Physiologyoprfhsanatomy.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/0/8/5708724/chapter_5_notes.… · –Through perspiration ... Accessory Structures of the Skin](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030411/5a9de32a7f8b9aee528db563/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Cool facts about the skin
• There are approximately 19,000,000 skin cells on every square inch of your body
• Millions of skin cells are rubbed off daily
• You have over 2 million sweat glands
• All sweat gland tubules in the body would stretch into 6 miles of tubes
• Amount of sweat can vary from 100 to 8,000 mL/day
• Fastest growing hair is the beard

Functions of the skin
• Protection
– barrier between the internal and external environment
• Water Proofing and prevents water loss
• Regulates body temperature
• Sensation
– nerve endings that react to heat, cold, touch, pressure, vibration, and tissue injury

Stratum Corneum
• 25 – 30 rows dead plate-like envelopes filled with keratin that have migrated up underlying layers
• Cells are worn/sloughed off daily (desquamation)
• Total new epidermis every 35-45 days
• Flattened and hardened cells
• Contain Keratin (Keratinocytes or K-Cytes) – Keeps skin elastic and protects underlying cells from drying out
• Barrier against microbe invasion

Stratum Lucidum
• 3 – 5 rows of dead K-cytes

• Associated with a hair follicle
• Secrete Sebum – Oily (lipid) substance
– Flows into the follicle then out to the skin surface
– Lubricates hair and skin
– Waterproofs
– Weakens and kills bacteria

Skin Disorders
•Athlete’s Foot – Fungal infection that involves soles and toes of feet
•Impetigo – Infectious disease caused by a bacterial infection that results in pustules that crust over.
•Psoriasis – chronic condition causing skin to develop reddish patches covered by silvery scales. Due to over active cell division.

Disorders Continued
•Eczema – an inflammation of the skin caused by sensitivity to various chemicals
•Dandruff – caused by an over accelerated rate of keratinization in certain areas of the scalp.
•Urticaria (Hives) – is allergenic reaction characterized by the appearance of reddish, elevated patches and often itching.

Skin Cancer
Nonmelanoma
• Basal Cells and Squamous
Cells
• Less likely to metastasize
• Usually found at sun
exposure spots
Melanoma
• Begins in Melanocytes
• Example unusual moles
• More likely to metastasize

Wound Healing 1. Puncture wound fill with blood
2. Chemicals released by damaged tissue cause blood to clot.
3. Clotting prevents pathogens and toxins from spreading.
4. Scab develops
5. Fibroblasts – Help with tissue regeneration
Basal Layer begins to form new cells
WBC – Fight infection
• Scar – collagen fibers arranged to provide maximum strength, devoid of feeling

Burns •Two factors affect burn severity: Depth & Extent
•First Degree Burns
• Only Epidermis
• redness and pain, but no blisters
•Ex. Moderate Sunburn
•Second Degree Burns
•Entire Epidermis & Part of Dermis
•Blistering can occur
•Ex. Severe Sunburn

Burns Continued
• Third Degree Burns – Full thickness burns, destroys the entire thickness of the skin
•Fourth Degree Burns - Involves tissue down to the bone.

Effects of Aging on Skin Layers
• Epidermis: – Maintains its thickness
– Decrease in the rate of cell mitosis
– Is held less tightly to the dermis (looser skin)
• Dermis: – dermal papillae flatten
– Dermis becomes thinner
• Hypodermis: – Decrease in the adipose tissue of face and hands (older
people feel cold)

Effects of Aging on Fibers in the Dermis
Collagen Fibers
• Collagenous fibers become coarser, thicker, and farther apart
• Overall less collagen than before
Elastic Fibers
• Elastic fibers in the upper layer are lost
• Elastic fibers in the lower dermis become thicker, less elastic, and disorganized
![Page 48: The Integumentary System - Anatomy and Physiologyoprfhsanatomy.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/0/8/5708724/chapter_5_notes.… · –Through perspiration ...

Why is there wrinkling of skin with age?
• Epidermis is loose
• Fewer and more disorganized fibers in the dermis
• Less padding in the hypodermis

Aging and Homeostasis
• Limited adjustment to heat due to: – less vasculature (fewer blood vessels)
– Fewer sweat glands
• Decrease in the number of hair follicles – Thinning of hair on scalp and extremities
• Decreased number of melanocytes (gray hair and paler skin)
• Some pigment cells get larger-blotches
• Decrease in the number of sebaceous glands – Cracking of skin

Aging and Sun Damage (UV radiation)
• Roughened skin
• Uneven pigmentation
• Fine lines, wrinkles, and deep furrows
• Benign skin growth
• Skin cancer

Skin and Homeostasis
• Protection
• Regulation of water loss
• Waste elimination (assists Urinary System)
• Production of Vitamin D
• Gathering of Sensory Information
• Body Temperature regulation

Skin’s Protective Functions
• Protective covering around the body against physical trauma and pathogens
• Melanocytes protect against UV radiation
• Outer keratinized cells prevent bacterial invasion
• Oily (acidic) secretions from sebaceous glands prevents bacterial growth
• Langerhans cells phagocytize pathogens and alert immune system

Regulation of Water Loss
• Waterproofing by outer keratinized cells
• Prevention of excess water entry into the skin by keratinized cells

Skin and Waste Elimination
• Sweat glands allow perspiration
– Sensible perspiration-can be felt
– Insensible perspiration-without awareness
• Perspiration contains
– Water
– Small amounts of salt, ammonia, urea, and other wastes

Skin and Vitamin D Production
• Vitamin D production in skin cells with the help of UV
• Small amount of UV needed
Vitamin D (skin) goes to the
Liver and Kidneys secrete
Calcitrol (hormone)circulates and regulates calcium and phosphorus levels
• Vitamin D helps prevent rickets (soft/deformed bones)

Skin and Sensory Information
• Sensory receptors in the epidermis and dermis
• Sense touch, pressure, pain, hot, and cold
• Greatest number of touch receptors in the fingertips!

Skin and Regulation of Body Temperature (97ºF-100ºF)
• Increase in body temperature:
– Dilation of blood vessels in the skin
– Increase in the amount of blood brought to skin
– Sweat glands become more active
– Evaporation leads to skin cooling
• Decrease in body temperature: opposite effect
– Shivering-due to muscle contractions, heat production
– Arrector pili muscles contract-goose bumps
– Frostbite-severe restriction of blood flow, dead skin

Hyperthermia- Body Temp. Above Normal
– Heat Exhaustion: Low BP, excessive sweating (salt loss), high body temperature
– Heat stroke: high body temperature (110ºF), no sweating
– Fever: high body temperature due to immune response and bacterial infection

Hypothermia-Body Temperature below Normal
• 90º-95ºF: – Uncontrollable shivering
– Incoherent speech, Lack of coordination
– Low pulse rate
• below 80º-85ºF: – Hallucinations or unconsciousness
– Shivering diminishes, rigidity sets in
– 50% mortality
