UNIT 4 SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT (INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM) cell layer skin. There is a lot of activity in this layer. Keratin proteins and lipid work together to create many of the cells responsible for the skin’s Integumentary system – synonyms are integument, skin and cutaneous protective barrier. membrane. All means “covering”. Stratum lucidum – only present in the thicker skin of the palms and soles. FUNCTIONS OF THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Its main function is to reduce friction between the stratum corneum and stratum granulosum. The name itself comes from the Latin for "clear Protection from mechanical, chemical, thermal and bacterial damage, UV layer," which describes the transparency of the cells themselves. Dead radiation and Desiccation. cells from the stratum spinosum and granulosum. Aids in body heat loss or heat retention Stratum corneum – known as corneocytes (horny cells). These cells have Aids in excretion of urea and uric acid flattened out and are considered dead. Composed mainly of keratin Synthesizes vitamin D (metabolism) proteins, corneocytes provide structural strength to the stratum corneum Sense Organ but also allow for the absorption of water. They serve as an effective STRUCTURE OF THE SKIN barrier to any chemicals that might harm the living cells just beneath them. Epidermis – outermost layer of the skin. Stratified squamous epithelium. CELLS Responsible for creating skin tone and protecting against toxins and infection. Composed of layers of skin cells called keratinocytes. Keratinocytes – most common type of skin cells. They produce keratin, a Dermis – made up MOSTLY with dense connective tissue, it also contains protein that provides strength to skin, hair and nails. hair follicles and sweat glands that regulate the integrity and temperature Melanocytes – skin color. Specialized skin cells that produce a pigment of the skin. Found deep to the epidermis and superficial to the called melanin that gives pigmentation to the skin. hypodermis. Dendritic cells – participate in the recognition of invading pathogens. Subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) – not part of the skin, anchor the skin These cells are dedicated antigen-presenting cells and play a key role in to the underlying organs and site for fat storage. sensing danger and initiating both innate and adaptive responses. EPIDERMIS - it has 5 layers: Tactile (Merkel) cells – sensory cells that are responsible for light touch sensation and found in the skin of vertebrates. Stratum basale – Stratum germinativum. Bottom layer of the epidermis, this layer contains one row of column-shaped keratinocytes called basal DERMIS cells. Papillary layer – most superficial dermal region composed of areolar Stratum spinosum – this layer lies just over the stratum basale and is only connective tissue. It is the superficial layer of the dermis that provides about five to ten cells thick. Cells in this layer are responsible for making nutrition and thermoregulation to the skin. Pain (free nerve endings) and keratin. This is the fibrous protein that gives skin, hair and nails their touch receptors (tactile corpuscles in hairless skin) are found here. hardness and water-resistant properties. Cells contain thick bundles of Reticular layer – the deepest skin layer. It contains many arteries and intermediate filaments made of pre-keratin. veins, sweat and sebaceous glands and pressure receptors (lamellar Stratum granulosum – or granular layer, have lost their center (nuclei). corpulscles). This allows them to contain a high proportion of keratin to form the rigid Structures of Dermis are Collagen which helps fibroblasts form in your sweat plus proteins and fat-rich substances. Odorless, dermis, which helps new cells grow. Playing a role in replacing dead skin cells. however, when decomposed by bacteria on skin a body Elastin a protein in the fiber of the connective tissue of the skin that provides odor is created. a resilient and elastic quality. It’s what gives skin that bouncy, full look and feel Hair and hair follicles – guarding the head against bumps, shielding the so often associated with a youthful, healthy complexion. Elastin depletes eyes (eyelashes), filters foreign particles (nose) and important body part naturally with age, leaving skin more prone to visible sagginess, fine lines and in early humans. wrinkling. Nails Skin color is mainly due to melanin (made by melanocytes in the epidermis) it has Skin Homeostatic Imbalances two types: Burns – tissue damage and cell death caused by intense heat, electricity, Eumelanin – comes in brown and black. ultraviolet radiation (sunburn), or certain chemicals such as acids, which Phomelanin – pinkish-red denature proteins and cause cell death in the affected areas.

MUSCULAR SYSTEM Characteristics and Functions of Muscle Tissue Skeletal Muscle Tissue a. Excitability – tissue can receive and respond to stimulation. Associated with and attached to the skeleton. b. Contractility – tissue can shorten and thicken. Under our conscious (voluntary) control c. Extensibility – tissue can lengthen. Microscopically the tissue appears striated Cells are long, cylindrical and multinucleate Muscle fibers respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (causes SKELETAL MUSCLES skeletal muscle to contract). Structure Following contraction, muscles release the enzyme acetylcholinesterase: o Breaks down acetylcholine The major component of the muscular system. o Allows muscle to relax Composition Cardiac Muscle Tissue Connective tissue, Skeletal Muscle tissue, Blood vessels and Nerves. Maked up myocardium of heart Connective Tissue Coverings Unconsciously (involuntarily) controlled Microscopically appears striated Fascia – covers entire skeletal muscles. Separate them from each other.

Nerves speed tissue. Attaches muscles to other muscles. up or slow down contraction. Epimysium – thin covering that is just below the fascia of a muscle and Neurotransmitters – acetylcholine (slows heart rate) and Norepinephrine surrounds the entire muscle tissue. (speeds-up rate) Perimysium – connective tissue that divides a muscle into section called fascicles. Smooth (visceral) Muscle Tissue Endomysium – covering of connective tissue that surrounds individual Makes up walls of organs and blood vessels muscle cells. Tissue is non-striated and involuntary Attachments and Actions of Skeletal Muscles Cells are short, spindle-shaped and have a single nucleus Tissue is extremely extensible, while still retaining ability to contract. Actions depend largely on what the muscles are attached to Multiunit smooth muscle – in the iris of the eye and walls of blood Attachment sites vessels. Responds to neurotransmitters and hormones. Visceral smooth muscle – in walls of hollow organs (such as the stomach, Origin – an attachment for a less movable bone. intestines, gallbladder, rectum, esophagus, fallopian tubes and heart). Insertion – an attachment site for a more movable bone. Responds to neurotransmitters and stimulate each other to contract so Movement usually produced by a group of muscles that muscle fibers contract and relax together in a rhythmic motion called peristalsis. Prime mover – muscle responsible for most of the movement. Peristalsis – rhythmic contraction that pushes substances through tubes Synergists – muscles that help the prime mover by stabilizing joints. of the body. A series of involuntary muscle contractions that move food, Antagonist (agonist) – produces movement opposite to prime mover; fluids, and urine through the body. relaxes when prime mover contracts. Body Movements Infraspinatus – rotates the arm laterally. Flexion – bending a body part. Extension – straightening a body part.

HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCES Myosin “pulls” on actin, causing thin myofilaments, towards the center of the sarcomere. Sacromere shortens, I bands get smaller, H zone gets smaller and zone of overlap increases. Production of Energy for Muscle ATP (adenosine triphosphate) o A type of chemical energy. Needed for sustained or repeated muscle contractions. Muscle cells must have three ways to store or make ATP. o Creatine phosphate – rapid production of energy. A high energy molecule that stores energy in muscles and other cells. o Aerobic respiration – used body’s store of glucose. A chemical process that breaks down glucose and other organic compounds to produce energy for cells. o Lactic acid production – small amounts of ATP.
