Study Notes
Sweat Glands
- Apocrine sweat glands produce a type of secretion that is thick and protein-rich.
- Eccrine sweat glands, on the other hand, produce a sweat response to heat or exercise.
Nail Structure
- The eponychium is located at the base of the nail.
- The nail plate is made of hard keratin.
- The nail matrix generates the nail plate.
Integumentary System
- The hyponychium functions to seal the nail plate to the nail bed.
- The stratum corneum is the layer of the skin sensitive to light touch.
- Pacinian corpuscles function to detect pressure and vibrations.
- The stratum corneum serves as a barrier protecting against physical and chemical injury and infection.
Hair and Sebaceous Glands
- Arrector pili muscles function to cause hair to stand upright.
- Sebaceous glands empty their secretion into the hair follicle.
Vitamin D Synthesis
- The stratum Malpighi is involved in the synthesis of vitamin D3 from precursors in the skin.
Skin Pigmentation
- Melanocytes are the cell type responsible for producing the pigment melanin in the skin.
Epidermal Layers
- The epidermis arises from ectodermal embryonic origin.
- The stratum corneum is composed of flat, dead cells continuously shed.
- The stratum lucidum is present only in very thick skin.
- The stratum basale is the bottom layer, just above the basal lamina, and contains cuboidal to columnar keratinocytes.
- The stratum spinosum is between the stratum granulosum and stratum basale, and contains cells connected by spot desmosomes.
- The stratum granulosum is composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium and contains cells with two types of granules, including keratohyaline granules and lamellar granules.
Skin Location
- Thick skin is found on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
- Apocrine sweat glands are located in the axillary and anogenital regions.
- Eccrine sweat glands are responsible for producing sweat as a response to heat or exercise.
Other
- Langerhans cells in the epidermis function to detect and respond to pathogens.
- The main component of the keratin layer in the epidermis is dead, keratinized cells.
- Melanocytes in the epidermis produce melanin.
