Presentation Transcript

  1. Integumentary System

  2. Epidermis • Outer layer of skin • Stratified squamous • Has no blood supply • Cells go through process of keratinization • Regular skin has four strata • Thick skin has five strata

  3. Stratum basale • Next to basement membrane and blood supply • Active mitosis • Contain melanocytes

  4. Stratum spinosum • Consists of several layers • Spiny projections extend down to connect layers together

  5. Stratum germinativum • Composed of two layers: • Stratum basale • Stratum spinosum

  6. Stratum granulosum • 2-3 layers of flattened cells • Keratinization begins here

  7. Stratum Lucidum • Translucent 2-3 layers • Only found in thick skin

  8. Stratum corneum • Outermost layer • ¾ of thickness • 20-30 layers • Cells are completely keratinized • 5 week life cycle

  9. Dermis

  10. Dermis • Stratum corium • Made of dense connective tissue • Papillary layer • Reticular layer

  11. Subcutaneous layer • Anchors skin • Loose connective and adipose tissues • Also called hypodermis or superficial fascia

  12. Skin Color

  13. Functions • Protection • Sensory reception • Regulation of body temperature • Synthesis of vitamin D

  14. Epidermal Derivatives • Hair and hair follicles • Nails • Glands

  15. Hair and hair follicles • Composed of dead, keratinized cells • Produced from stratum basale • Color determined by melanin production • Texture determined by shape of hair shaft

  16. Nails • Layers of dead stratum corneum • Stratum basale forms nail bed

  17. Glands • Three types: • Sebaceous • Sudoriferous • Ceruminous

  18. Sebaceous glands • Found everywhere there is hair • Holocrine glands • Secrete sebum • Keeps skin and hair pliable • Inhibits bacterial growth and helps prevent water loss • Activated by increased sex hormones

  19. Sudoriferous glands • Sweat glands • Located everywhere except the lips, nipples, and parts of the external genitalia • Merocrine and apocrine glands

  20. Ceruminous glands • Modified sweat glands in the ear canal • Secrete cerumen

  21. ABCD Rule for Moles

  22. Burns • First degree • Second degree • Third degree • Rule of nines

  23. First degree burn

  24. Second degree burn

  25. Third degree burn
