    Study Notes

    Integumentary System

    • The main function of the integumentary system is to protect the body from external damage, regulate body temperature, and aid in the senses of touch and feel.
    • The skin thickness varies, with the thickest skin found on the soles of the feet and the thinnest on the eyelids.
    • The integumentary system serves as a site for the senses of touch, pressure, pain, and temperature.

    Skin Function

    • The skin serves as an important sensory organ for detecting sensations such as pressure, temperature, and pain.
    • The skin plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature through sweating and vasodilation.
    • The integumentary system protects the body from harmful elements like UV radiation, pathogens, and physical damage.

    Skin Structure

    • The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, responsible for barrier function and protection.
    • The hypodermis is the layer of skin specialized in the formation of fat cells.
    • The dermis or corium contains blood vessels, nerve endings, and hair follicles.

    Skin Conditions and Injuries

    • Frostbite results in local skin destruction due to freezing.
    • Healing from secondary skin lesions often results in scarring.

    Oncology and Pharmacology

    • The TNM system is used to stage and diagnose cancer.
    • The risk of endometrial carcinoma is associated with nulliparous and menarche.
    • Diagnostic procedures mentioned include biopsies and imaging tests.
    • Topical corticosteroids are used to reduce inflammation and protect the skin.
    • The main purpose of anti-inflammatory, topical corticosteroids is to reduce inflammation and prevent skin damage.

    Pharmacy and Chemistry

    • Chemistry plays a crucial role in pharmacy education, particularly in drug development and formulation.
    • The main aspect of drug development that heavily relies on chemistry principles is the design and synthesis of new drugs.
    • Chemistry contributes to maintaining and improving global health by providing medicines and understanding disease mechanisms.
    • Chemistry, as the Central Science, signifies the importance of chemistry principles in pharmaceutical practice.
    • Chemistry is essential in drug formulation and compounding, as it determines the efficacy and safety of medications.

    Chemistry Principles

    • The chemical name for Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid.
    • Living organisms are NOT a source of drug molecules.
    • The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid is known as the melting point.
    • Chemistry plays a crucial role in the interdisciplinary nature of medical and health sciences.
    • The physical state of drug molecules is important in the formulation and delivery of drugs.
    • Small molecule drugs are the most widely used for treating various ailments.
    • The process of extraction, isolation, and identification from a natural source like a plant involves chemistry.
    • The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure is known as the boiling point.
    • Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are formed by joining together nucleotides.
    • Hydrolysis-prone drug molecules are unstable in the presence of moisture and should be kept in a dry and cool place.
