Study Notes
Basic Anatomical Structures
- Skin
- Fascia
- Muscle
- Cartilage
- Bones
- Joints
- Ligaments
- Bursa
- Synovial membrane
- Blood vessels
- Nervous system
- Mucous membranes
- Serous membranes
Skin
- Definition: The structure that covers the body and protects it from the environment.
- It is formed of two layers:
- Epidermis (superficial layer)
- Dermis (deep layer)
Skin Lines
- Flexure lines (skin creases): Folds of skin over joints, thinner than elsewhere, firmly tethered to underlying structures by fibrous tissue.
- Papillary ridges: Found on palms, soles, and flexor surfaces of digits; form narrow ridges separated by fine grooves.
- Wrinkle lines: Created by contraction of underlying muscles; lines of expression that become permanent with aging due to skin elasticity loss.
- Langer (tension) lines: Represent skin tension in rigor mortis; parallel to collagen orientation, aiding surgical incision healing.
Functions of the skin
- Protection of deep structures against microorganisms and external injury.
- Prevention of fluid loss.
- Regulation of body temperature via sweat glands.
- Sensation via nerve endings (pain, touch, temperature).
- Moistening of skin via secretion of fat from sebaceous glands.
Skin Appendages
- Nails: Keratinized plates on dorsal surfaces of fingers and toes; have a root and folds surrounding the plate.
- Hairs and hair follicles: Derivatives of the epidermis comprised of a hair follicle (sac) and hair shaft; anchor hair in skin with sebaceous glands opening into follicles.
- Hair shaft: Cortex, cuticle, and medulla (in some hair types).
- Hair bulb: The concave base of the hair follicle, contains blood vessels.
Sites with no hair/sweat glands
- Lips
- Palms of hands
- Sides of fingers
- Glans penis and clitoris
- Labia minora and internal surface of labia majora
- Soles and sides of feet
- Toes
