Study Notes

Epidermis and Dermis Structure

  • The epidermis consists of layers such as stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.
  • The dermis is primarily made up of dense irregular connective tissue, providing strength and elasticity to the skin.

Integumentary Structures

  • Sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and nails are key structures associated with the integument.
  • Sweat glands arise from the stratum basale and play a role in temperature regulation and waste excretion.

Hair Structure

  • Hair consists of the hair shaft, medulla (central axis), cortex (bulk), cuticle (outer layer), and hair follicle (surrounds the hair root).
  • The arrector pili muscles cause hair follicles to stand upright, leading to "goosebumps."

Wound Healing

  • Wound healing involves a series of events including inflammation, tissue formation, and remodeling.
  • Hemostasis initiates with clot formation, followed by inflammation, proliferation of new tissue, and finally, maturation.

Keratinization Process

  • Keratinization involves several layers where cells proliferate, begin to fill with keratin, and eventually die to provide a protective barrier.
  • Key stages occur in distinct layers of the epidermis, with stratum basale being mitotic and stratum corneum comprised of dead cells.

Skin Gland Classification

  • Sudoriferous glands are classified into apocrine and merocrine (eccrine) glands, with distinct functions in sweat production.
  • Sebaceous glands secrete oil to hydrate skin and hair, while ceruminous glands produce earwax for ear protection.

Skin Cancer and Burns

  • The three most common types of skin cancer include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
  • Burns are categorized into first, second, and third degrees based on severity and extent of skin damage.

Nail Structure and Function

  • Nails consist of the nail bed, nail matrix, nail plate, cuticle, and lunula, providing protection and assisting in fine manipulation.
  • Injury to the nail bed can cause pain and bleeding, indicating damage to this sensitive area.

Functions of the Skin

  • The skin serves multiple functions including protection, temperature regulation, sensation, and excretion.
  • Blood vessel responses (vasoconstriction and vasodilation) help maintain homeostasis by regulating heat loss.

Misconceptions about Skin

  • Thick skin lacks hair follicles, distinguishing it from thin skin, which contains both hair and follicles.
  • Keratin, while a vital protein in skin and hair, is not classified as a type of hair.
