Study Notes
Wound Healing Phases
- Inflammatory phase: blood clot forms, uniting wound edges, eliminating microbes, foreign material, and dying tissue, and increasing local blood vessel diameter to deliver nutrients, immune cells, and fibroblasts.
- Migratory phase: clot dries into scab, epithelial cells migrate beneath scab, fibroblasts migrate and lay down collagen fibers and glycoproteins in dermis, and new blood vessels grow, forming granulation tissue destined to become scar tissue.
- Proliferative phase: extensive growth of epithelium, deposition of collagen in random patterns by fibroblasts, and continued growth of blood vessels.
- Maturation phase: scab sloughs off, granulation tissue develops into scar tissue, fibroblasts decrease in number, and blood vessels return to normal.
Functions of Skin
- Thermoregulation: regulates body temperature, liberating sweat for evaporative cooling, increasing blood flow in dermis when hot, and reducing blood flow when cool.
- Blood storage: 8-10% of total blood flow in resting adults found in dermal blood vessels.
- Protection: from invasion by microbes, abrasion, heat, chemicals, and water evaporation/absorption, with sebum and pH of sweat being antimicrobial, melanin protecting from UV radiation, Langerhans cells active in immunity, and macrophages phagocytizing bacteria and viruses.
- Cutaneous sensations: tactile (touch, pressure, vibration, tickling), thermal (warmth and coolness), and pain (usually indicating impending or actual tissue damage).
- Excretion and absorption: minor role in eliminating wastes, absorbing materials from external environment, with sweat excreting water, salts, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and urea.
- Synthesis of calcitrol (vitamin D): synthesized in response to UV exposure, aiding in calcium absorption from foods.
Digestive System
- Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and accessory organs and glands.
- Laboratory materials: slide samples of esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestine, recto-anal junction, and appendix.
General Histological Features
- Epithelium: different supporting glial cells found in central and peripheral nervous systems, with distinct positions, characteristic features, and roles.
- Neural crest cells give rise to sensory neurons, Schwann cells, and satellite cells of ganglia.
Integumentary System
- Skin and all of its accessory structures, including hair, nails, nerves, blood vessels, glands, and muscles.
- Cutaneous membrane: another name for skin.
- Functions: temperature regulation, water repellent, barrier to external environment, providing sensory information, excreting wastes, and synthesizing vitamin D.
Skin Composition
- Layers of integument: epidermis (most superficial), dermis (deep to epidermis), and hypodermis (anchors dermis).
Skin Structure
- Two principal parts of the skin: epidermis (thin, epithelial tissue) and dermis (deep to epidermis).
- Epidermis has three types of papillae: filiform (short bristles), fungiform (more globular than filiform), and circumvallate (contains most taste buds).
Respiratory System
- Upper respiratory tract: nasal cavities to nasopharynx.
- Lower respiratory tract: larynx to respiratory bronchioles.
- Laboratory materials: nasal cavities with olfactory epithelium, trachea, bronchus, larynx, epiglottis, bronchiole, and lungs (bronchi, bronchioles, terminal and respiratory).
