Chapter 5 The Integumentary System Flashcards
4 Parts of the Cutaneous Membrane: Epidermis, Dermis, Papillary ______ Reticular
Largest Sys of Body - 16% body weight
2 Components of the Integumentary System are
Cutaneous membrane and accessory structures
Cutaneous - Outer Epidermis (Superficial Epidermis , Inner Dermis (Connective Tissue
Accessory Structures Originate In Dermis, Extend through Epidermis, Hair & Follicles - Exocrine Glands and Nails
Epidermis Thin Skin, 4 layers Bottom up - Stratum Basale - Spinosum - Granulosum - Corneum , Keratinocytes, Body’s most abundant.
Epidermis Thick skin , Finger pads - 5 layers, Stratum Basale - Spinosum - Grandulosum - Lucidum - Corneum
Functions of Int Syst - Protect underlying tissue, Excrete Salt water waste, Maint Temp,
Produce Melantin, Keratin (Protein), D3, Lipids Storage, Sensory to touch, Coord Immune response
Tactile Corpusle - Feelings
Aerrctor Pili Muscle - goose bumps
Dermis - Between EpiDerm and Subcu - Supports EpiDerm -
Anchors Accessory Structures - Hair - Sweat Glands
Keratin = Protein - Large Amts in Stratum Spinosum
Cutaneous & Subpapillary Contains - Blood Vessels and Sensory Receptors
Thick Skin - Palms and Soles, Finger Pads
Subcutaneous - Loose Connective tissue below the Dermis
Reticular Layer - Extensive Distention ____ Stretch Marks, Reticlular Layer
UV causes excessive skin sag
Hair _____ made up from Keratinized dead cells
Hair is formed in the folicles
Dermis - 1) Outer Papillary Layer 2) Deep Reticular Layer
Tactile Discs - Melanocytes , Tactile Corpusles - Feeling Touch
Hair color produced by Melanocytes at the Hair Matrix
Hair color is Determined by Genes
Vellus hair ____ peach fuzz Soft fine hair, covers most of body
Terminal Hairs - Head Eyebrows and Eyelashes (Heavy Pigment)
Epedermis - Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Is Avascular - (without)
Hair growth cycle ____ grow and shed
Cutaneous Plexus - arteries in the skin form.
Sebaceous (oil glands) and Sweat Glands are Endocrine Glands
Eccrine Sweat Glands - Holocrine Glands - Sensible Perspiration (Watery Substance)
2 Types of Sweat Glands Apocrine ____ and Eccrine
Ceruminous Gland - Ear Wax
Apocrine Sweat Glands: produces - odorous secretions
Eccrine Sweat Glands, more numerous and produce watery secretions
Stratum Basale (Germinativum), Stratum Spinosum, Granulosum, Lucidum (thick skin only) and Stratum Corneum
Thin Skin covers most of body, most abundant
Papillary Layer - Aerolar Tissue, Blood Vessels, Lymph vessels, Sensory Nerves
Epidermis - Insensible Perspiration - Diffuses across Epidermis - Evaporates - 500ml daily, increases from burns
Mammory glands ____ Apocrine glands
Epidermis Eccrine Gland- Sensible Perspiration- Water from Sweat Glands
Nails Keratinized epidermal cells protect fingers ____ toes
Reticular Layer - Collagen - Elastic Fibers - Collagen Bundle Tension Lines
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) - Peptide Growth - Produce Salivary Glands and Duodenum
Functions - Division of Basal Cells, Accels Keratin, Epidural Repair, Granular Secretions
