All Rights Reserved. Body Membranes (2 of 2) Two major categories – Epithelial membranes ▪ Cutaneous membranes ▪ Mucous membranes ▪ Serous membranes – Connective tissue membranes ▪ Synovial membranes Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Epithelial Membranes (1 of 5) Epithelial membranes are simple organs Also called covering and lining membranes These membranes contain both: – Epithelial tissue layer – Connective tissue layer Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Epithelial Membranes (2 of 5) Cutaneous membrane = skin – Dry membrane – Outermost protective boundary – Consists of two layers ▪ Epidermis is composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium ▪ Dermis is mostly dense (fibrous) connective tissue Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Figure 4.1a Classes of Epithelial Membranes Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Epithelial Membranes (3 of 5) Mucous membranes (mucosae) – Moist membranes – Some mucosae secrete protective, lubricating mucus – Line all body cavities that open to the exterior body surface – Adapted for absorption or secretion – Consists of two layers ▪ Epithelium type depends on site ▪ Loose connective tissue (lamina propria) Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Figure 4.1b Classes of Epithelial Membranes Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Epithelial Membranes (4 of 5) Serous membranes (serosae) – Line compartments in the ventral body cavity that are closed to the exterior of the body – Occur in pairs, separated by serous fluid, with a visceral and parietal layer – Consists of two layers ▪ Simple squamous epithelium ▪ Areolar connective tissue Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd.

All Rights Reserved. Functions of the Integumentary System (1 of 2) Insulates and cushion deeper body organs Protects the entire body from: – Mechanical damage (bumps and cuts) – Chemical damage (acids and bases) – Thermal damage (heat or cold) – Ultraviolet (UV) radiation (sunlight) – Microbes (bacteria) – Water loss Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Functions of the Integumentary System (2 of 2) Regulates heat loss as controlled by the nervous system Acts as a mini-excretory system; sweat aids in the loss of – Urea – Salts – Water Synthesizes vitamin D Secretions create a protective acid mantle Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Table 4.1 Functions of the Integumentary System (1 of 2) Functions How accomplished Protects deeper tissues from Physical barrier contains keratin, which toughens cells; fat cells to cushion blows; and both pressure Mechanical damage (bumps) and pain receptors, which alert the nervous system to possible damage. Chemical damage (acids and bases) Has relatively impermeable keratinized cells; contains pain receptors, which alert the nervous system to possible damage. Microbe damage Has an unbroken surface and “acid mantle” (skin secretions are acidic and thus inhibit microbes, such as bacteria). Phagocytes ingest foreign substances and pathogens, preventing them from penetrating into deeper body tissues. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation (damaging effects Melanin produced by melanocytes offers protection of sunlight or tanning beds) from UV damage. Thermal (heat or cold) damage Contains heat/cold/pain receptors. Desiccation (drying out) Contains a water-resistant glycolipid and keratin. Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Table 4.1 Functions of the Integumentary System (2 of 2) Functions How accomplished Aids in body heat loss or heat retention Heat loss: By activating sweat glands and by (controlled by the nervous system) allowing blood to flush into skin capillary beds so that heat can radiate from the skin surface. Heat retention: By not allowing blood to flush into skin capillary beds. Aids in excretion of urea and uric acid Contained in perspiration produced by sweat glands. Synthesizes vitamin D Modified cholesterol molecules in skin converted to vitamin D in the presence of sunlight. Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd.

All Rights Reserved. Figure 4.3 Skin Structure (1 of 2) Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Structure of the Skin (2 of 11) Epidermis—outer layer – Composed of stratified squamous epithelium – Most cells are keratinocytes which produce a fibrous protein called keratin ▪ Keratinization makes the epidermis tough ▪ Desmosomes connect keratinocytes together – Avascular – Composed of five layers (strata) Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Structure of the Skin (3 of 11) Summary of strata (layers) of the epidermis from deepest to most superficial – Stratum basale – Stratum spinosum – Stratum granulosum – Stratum lucidum (thick, hairless skin only) – Stratum corneum Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Structure of the Skin (4 of 11) Stratum basale (stratum germinativum) – Deepest layer of epidermis – Lies next to dermis – Wavy borderline with the dermis anchors the two together – Cells undergoing mitosis – Daughter cells are pushed upward to become the more superficial layers Stratum spinosum – Cells become increasingly flatter and more keratinized Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Structure of the Skin (5 of 11) Stratum granulosum Stratum lucidum – Formed from dead cells of the deeper strata – Occurs only in thick, hairless skin of the palms of hands and soles of feet Stratum corneum – Outermost layer of epidermis – Shingle-like dead cells are filled with keratin (protective protein prevents water loss from skin) Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd.

All Rights Reserved. Homeostatic Imbalances of Skin (8 of 13) Skin cancer – Most common form of cancer in humans – Most important risk factor is overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight and tanning beds Cancer can be classified two ways 1. Benign means the neoplasm (tumor) has not spread 2. Malignant means the neoplasm has invaded other body areas Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Concept Link Recall that mitosis gone wild is the basis for cancer (Chapter 3, pp. 104–105). These cells lack normal control of cell division and divide quickly, resulting in errors during DNA replication, mitosis, or both. Cells experiencing rapid, uncontrolled growth become cancerous and can metastasize (spread) to other parts of the body. Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd.
