Study Notes

Skin Coloration

  • Skin color is primarily determined by the presence of melanin, a pigment produced by melanocytes.
  • Factors influencing skin coloration include genetic heritage, exposure to sunlight, and hormone levels.

Largest Organ of the Body

  • The skin is the largest organ, covering an average area of about 1.5 to 2 square meters in adults.
  • It accounts for approximately 15% of total body weight.

Layers of the Skin

  • The dermis contains essential components such as nerves, blood vessels, sweat glands, and oil glands.
  • The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, providing a protective barrier against environmental hazards.

Sebum Production

  • Sebaceous glands are responsible for secreting sebum, an oil that lubricates and moisturizes the skin.

Skin Layers and Their Descriptions

  • Epidermis: Outermost layer; provides protection and waterproofing.
  • Dermis: Middle layer; contains connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve endings.
  • Hypodermis (Subcutaneous layer): Deepest layer; consists of fatty tissue and connects skin to underlying structures.

Skin Components and Their Functions

  • Melanocytes: Produce melanin, protecting skin from UV radiation.
  • Keratinocytes: Contain keratin, providing strength and waterproofing to the skin.
  • Sweat glands: Regulate body temperature and excrete waste.

Functions of the Skeletal System

  • Provides structural support for the body.
  • Protects vital organs such as the heart and brain.
  • Facilitates movement through the attachment of muscles.

Joint Classifications and Descriptions

  • Synovial joints: Allow for a wide range of motion; characterized by a fluid-filled cavity.
  • Cartilaginous joints: Allow limited movement; connected by cartilage.
  • Fibrous joints: Provide little to no movement; connected by dense connective tissue.

Skeletal System Functions

  • Stores minerals like calcium and phosphorus for use in physiological processes.
  • Produces blood cells in the bone marrow, a process called hematopoiesis.
  • Acts as a lever system for muscles to facilitate movement.
