Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Protection: Protects body from injury, harmful substances, extreme temperatures, and radiation.
- Water Balance: Epidermis is water-resistant, not waterproof. Water loss occurs through sweat and transpiration.
- Metabolic Regulation: Vitamin D formation (a precursor to calcitriol) is crucial for calcium and phosphate absorption from the diet to regulate blood calcium levels.
- Secretion & Absorption: Skin absorbs some chemicals/drugs but blocks others. It releases waste products like those in sweat.
- Immune Function: Dendritic cells initiate immune responses in the epidermis and dermis.
- Temperature Regulation: Dermal blood vessels adjust, constricting to conserve heat and dilating to release heat.
- Sensory Reception: Extensive innervation detects stimuli.
Epidermis
- Structure: Keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium with layers (strata) from deep to superficial.
-
Layers:
- Stratum Basale (deepest): Single layer of cuboidal to low columnar cells. Contains keratinocytes, melanocytes, tactile cells.
- Stratum Spinosum: Several layers of polygonal keratinocytes attached by desmosomes. Epidermal dendritic cells (Langerhans cells) are present.
- Stratum Granulosum: Flattened keratinocytes with granules. Keratinization (hardening of cells) occurs. Nucleus and organelles disintegrate.
- Stratum Lucidum (only in thick skin): Clear layer, densely packed, flat, translucent cells filled with keratin.
- Stratum Corneum: Outermost layer of many layers of dead, interlocking, keratinized cells. Protective layer against abrasion and infection.
- Location: Palms and soles have all 5 layers; other parts may not have the Stratum Lucidum layer.
Dermis
- Structure: Deep to epidermis, composed of connective tissue (CT). Contains blood vessels, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, nail roots, sensory nerve endings, and arrector pili muscles.
-
Layers:
- Papillary layer
- Reticular layer
-
Functions:
- Temperature Regulation: Dilating or constricting blood vessels to release or conserve heat, respectively.
- Secretion & Absorption: Sweat glands release fluids (sodium, water, urea) to cool the body and Sebaceous glands secrete sebum (oil).
- Sensory Reception: Variety of sensory receptors.
- Strength & Support: Collagen and elastic fibers resist stress and influence cleavage lines.
Subcutaneous Layer (Hypodermis)
- Structure: Not part of the integument; composed of areolar and adipose connective tissues.
- Functions: Protection, energy storage, insulation, and rapid drug absorption (extensive vascular network).
General Information
- Burns: First-degree, Second-degree, Third-degree burns. Full thickness burns may initially be painless due to nerve damage. Symptoms and treatment differ based on burn severity.
- Glandular, Nervous, & Vascular Tissue: Location and function in the dermis.
- Keratin & Melanocytes: Keratin waterproofs skin; melanocytes produce pigment for UV protection and skin color.
- Vitamin D & Calcium: Vitamin D aids in calcium absorption.
Nervous System
- Functions: Monitors internal and external environments, processes and integrates sensory information, and initiates responses.
- Organization: Central Nervous System (CNS) - Brain and Spinal Cord; Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - Nerves and Ganglia.
- General Function: Collect information, process and evaluate information (brain and spinal cord determine response), and initiate responses (brain and spinal cord send signals to effectors).
Neuron Structure
- Cell Body (Soma): Contains nucleus, plasma membrane encloses cytoplasm (perikaryon), initiates graded potentials, receives and conducts potentials to axons.
- Dendrites: Unmyelinated processes extending from cell body, receive input and transfer information to cell body.
- Axon Hillock: Transmit nerve impulse to axon terminal. (decision point if the axon will fire.)
- Axon: Transmit nerve impulse to axon terminal.
- Myelin Sheath: Increases speed of transmission.
- Schwann Cells: Maintenance and regeneration of axons.
- Nodes of Ranvier: Repeats of action potential along the axon.
Spinal & Cranial Nerves
- Classification: Structural (Cranial Nerves & Spinal Nerves), Functional (Sensory Nerves & Motor Nerves).
- Sensory Nerves: Contain sensory neurons that carry information to the CNS.
- Motor Nerves: Contain motor neurons that take information from the CNS to effectors.
- Mixed Nerves: Contain both sensory and motor neurons.
Nerves & Ganglia
- Nerves: Bundles of parallel axons, surrounded by connective tissue wrappings (epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium). Nerves are vascularized.
- Ganglia: Clusters of neuron cell bodies located within the PNS.
- Nerve Branches: blood vessels that branch through the epineurium and perineurium into capillaries; allow for exchange between axon and blood.
Neurons at Rest
- Resting Membrane Potential (RMP): Typically -70 mV; negative inside compared to outside determined by concentration gradient and electrical potential of K+ and Na+.
- Factors Affecting RMP: K+ diffusion is the primary factor, while Na+ leakage also plays a role.
Overview of Events in Each Neuron Segment
-
- EPSP (excitatory postsynaptic potential) and IPSP (inhibitory postsynaptic potential). Events associated with the neuron starting and stopping firing information. The process of the propagation of action potential from the axon hillock down the axon.
Glial Cells
- **Glial Cells (CNS & PNS):**Non-excitable cells that support and nourish neurons.
- Astrocytes: Most abundant, form blood-brain barrier.
- Ependymal Cells: Line cavities of the brain and spinal cord, produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- Microglia: Phagocytes of the immune system, respond to infection/injury.
- Oligodendrocytes: Myelinate neurons in the CNS.
- Satellite Cells: Surround neuron cell bodies in PNS, regulate nutrients, and waste exchange.
- Schwann Cells: Myelinate neurons in the PNS.
Action Potential: Depolarization & Repolarization
- Depolarization: Membrane potential becomes more positive due to Na+ influx.
- Repolarization: Membrane potential returns to negative due to K+ efflux.
Action Potential Steps
- Depolarization: At rest, voltage-gated channels are closed. When a threshold is reached, Na+ channels open rapidly, and Na+ rushes into the axon, causing depolarization.
- Repolarization: Na+ channels close and inactivate, and K+ channels open; K+ rushes out of the axon, causing repolarization.
- Hyperpolarization: K+ channels remain open longer than necessary to return to RMP, causing the membrane potential to become slightly more negative than RMP. Na+/K+ pumps return the membrane potential to RMP.
Action Potential Propagation
- Continuous vs Saltatory Conduction: Continuous conduction occurs on unmyelinated axons; the signal is propagated along the whole axon membrane. Saltatory conduction occurs on myelinated axons, the signal jumps from node to node; faster propagation.
Neurotransmitters
- Classification: Chemical classes (acetylcholine, biogenic amines, amino acids, neuropeptides) and by action (excitatory or inhibitory).
- Direct vs Indirect: Direct neurotransmitters bind to chemically gated channels, while indirect neurotransmitters bind to receptors that involve G-proteins and second messengers.
