Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Skin layers: epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The dermis is vascularized.
- Epidermis contains four cell types: keratinocytes, melanocytes, dendritic cells, and tactile epithelial cells.
- Epidermal layers: stratum basale (10-25% melanocytes), stratum corneum (dead keratinocytes), stratum lucidum (thick skin only), stratum spinosum (prickle cell layer with dendritic cells), stratum granulosum (glycolipids).
- Dermis layers: reticular layer and papillary layer. They differ in structure and function.
- Skin color factors: melanin (dark/medium brown), carotene (yellowish), and hemoglobin (reddish in fair skin).
- Sweat glands: eccrine (everywhere, abundant on palms, soles, forehead, and contains watery secretion) and apocrine (axillary and genital areas, contains fatty substances and proteins, leading to body odor).
- Epidermis is the outer layer, and the hypodermis is not a true part of the skin.
Energy Balance & Thermoregulation
- Factors stimulating hunger and appetite: ghrelin.
- Satiety signals: POMC/CART activation, CCK, insulin, nutrient signals (glucose, amino acids, fatty acids), and neural signals from the GI tract.
- Hormone for long-term food intake regulation: leptin.
- Basal metabolic rate components: BMR (70%), TEF (10%), and physical activity (20%).
Body Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
- Body water compartments: intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF), ECF is further divided into interstitial fluid (IF) and plasma.
- ICF contains fluid inside the cells. ECF surrounds the cells.
- Electrolytes: ions that dissociate in water (Na+, Cl-, K+, HPO42-).
- Nonelectrolytes: do not dissociate in water (glucose, lipids, creatinine, urea).
Hormonal Regulation of Fluid Balance
- Hypothalamic osmoreceptors detect changes to blood pressure, volume, and ECF osmolality.
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH): increases water reabsorption in kidneys.
- Aldosterone: increases salt reabsorption in kidneys, leading to increased water retention.
- Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP): reduces blood volume and blood pressure if levels are high by increasing sodium and water loss via kidneys.
Female and Male Reproduction
- Uterine cycle phases: menstruation, proliferative phase, and secretory phase.
- Ovarian cycle phases: follicular phase (estrogen peaks) and luteal phase (progesterone peaks), followed by ovulation.
- Female ages related to reproductive end: around ages 40-50.
Fetal Development
- Timing of fertilization and implantation: sperm can be present before ovulation, fertilization occurs within the fallopian tube, and implantation happens in the uterus.
- Embryo development: stages from fertilization, morula, blastocyst, to implantation.
