cover surfaces, line body cavities, and form protective sheets around organs
BODY MEMBRANES
Function of body membranes (3)
• LINE OR COVER BODY SURFACES
• PROTECT BODY SURFACES
• LUBRICATE BODY SURFACES
CLASSIFICATION OF BODY MEMBRANES (2)
- EPITHELIAL MEMBRANES
- CONNECTIVE TISSUE MEMBRANE
KINDS OF EPITHELIAL MEMBRANES
- CUTANEOUS MEMBRANES
- MUCOUS MEMBRANES
- SEROUS MEMBRANES
Types of Cutaneous Membrane
• cutaneous membrane = skin
• Superficial epidermis
• Underlying dermis
A dry membrane and the outermost protective boundary
CUTANEOUS MEMBRANE = SKIN
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
SUPERFICIAL EPIDERMIS
Mostly dense (fibrous) connective tissue
UNDERLYING DERMIS
• Surface epithelium (Type depend on site)
• Underlying loose connective tissue (lamina propria)
MUCOUS MEMBRANES
• Lines all body cavities that open to the exterior body surface
• Often adapted for absorption or secretion
• Wet membranes bathed in secretions
MUCOUS MEMBRANES
• Surface simple squamous epithelium
• Underlying areolar connective tissue
SEROUS MEMBRANES
• Lines open body cavities that are closed to the exterior of the body
• Occur in pairs – parietal and visceral
• Serous layers separated by
serous fluid
SEROUS MEMBRANES
SPECIFIC SEROUS MEMBRANES
• Peritoneum (Abdominal cavity)
• Pleura (Around the lungs)
• Pericardium (Around the heart)
• Areolar connective tissue only
• Lines fibrous capsules surrounding joints
• Line small sac of connective tissue called bursae and the tube-like tendon sheaths
Synovial membrane
Skin derivatives
• Sweat glands
• Oil glands
• Hairs
• Nails
Skin Protects deeper tissues from:
• Bacterial damage
• Chemical damage
• Desiccation
• Mechanical damage
• Thermal damage
• Ultraviolet radiation
• Protective and cushioning
• Waterproof
• Aids in heat regulation
• Aids in excretion of salts, urea and uric acid
• Synthesizes vitamin D
• Contains sensory receptors
SKIN STRUCTURE
• EPIDERMIS
• DERMIS
• HYPODERMIS
• outer layer
• Stratified squamous epithelium
• Often keratinized (hardened by keratin)
EPIDERMIS
Dense connective tissue
DERMIS
• Deep to dermis
• Not part of the skin
• Anchors skin to underlying organs
• Composed mostly of adipose tissue
• Serves as shock absorber and insulation for deeper tissues
HYPODERMIS
LAYERS OF EPIDERMIS
• Stratum basale
• Stratum granulosum
• Stratum lucidum (Occurs only in thick, hairless skin)
• Stratum corneum
• deepest layer
• Cells undergoing mitosis
• Lies next to dermis and receives nutrients from the dermis by diffusion
STRATUM BASALE
old stratum basale cells
STRATUM SPINOSUM
old stratum spinosum cells
STATUM GRANULOSUM
