Study Notes
Integumentary System
- The skin serves as a barrier protecting against physical and chemical injury and infection, regulates body temperature, and is a receptor organ for sensory stimuli.
- The skin is composed of three main components: epidermis (stratified squamous epithelium), dermis (connective tissue), and skin appendages (sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and nails).
Layers of Epidermis
- Stratum Corneum: the most superficial layer, composed of flat, dead cells (keratin scales) that are continuously shed.
- Stratum Lucidum: found only in very thick skin, consists of homogeneous, translucent cells containing keratin.
- Stratum Granulosum: contains two types of granules (keratohyaline and lamellar), which help bind cytokeratin molecules together to form keratin and prevent water penetration.
- Stratum Spinosum: thick layer with cells connected by spot desmosomes, appearing "spiny" or prickly.
- Stratum Basale: the bottom layer, composed of cuboidal to columnar keratinocytes, melanocytes, and Merkel cells.
Cells in Epidermis
- Keratinocytes: stratified squamous epithelial cells that produce cytokeratins.
- Melanocytes: produce melanin.
- Langerhans cells: process antigen.
- Merkel cells: involved in sensation.
Dermis
- Papillary dermis: loose connective tissue with capillary loops and thin elastic fibers.
- Reticular dermis: dense connective tissue with thick collagen bundles, elastic fibers, larger blood vessels, and glands.
Subcutaneous Tissue (Hypodermis)
- Consists of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue.
- Functions to loosely bind the skin to underlying structures.
Respiratory System
Components of Respiratory System
- Not mentioned in the given text.
Layers of the Respiratory System
- Not mentioned in the given text.
Development of Respiratory System
- Embryonic origin of the respiratory system is not solely mesodermal.
- Mesoderm gives rise to the walls of the conducting system.
- Endoderm gives rise to the epithelial lining of the respiratory system.
Cells in Respiratory System
- Four types of cells exist in the respiratory system.
- Goblet cells: produce mucus.
- Basal cells: function not mentioned in the given text.
- Three types of cells exist in the nasal cavity.
- Clara cells: non-ciliated epithelial cells with secretory granules, function not mentioned in the given text.
Trachea and Bronchi
- Cartilage in the trachea is not always present in all parts of the respiratory tract.
- Cartilage in bronchi is not always hyaline cartilage.
- Epiglottis cartilage type not mentioned in the given text.
Alveolar Sac
- Composed of squamous epithelial cells, basement membrane, and capillaries.
- Types of fibers in alveolar sac: elastic and reticulature fibers.
- Function: not mentioned in the given text.
Pleura
- Consists of parietal and visceral layers.
- Mesothelial cells rest on a fine connective tissue layer containing collagen and elastic fibers, found mainly in the pleura.
