Skin (Anatomy and Physiology) By Dr. Ali Abdel Kader Saturday, March 30, 2024 1 INTENDED LEARNING OBJECTIVES (ILO) By the end of lecture the student will be able to: 1. Define layers of skin and their contents 2. Locate sites of thick skin , thin skin, loose skin and adherent skin 3. Describe Langer’s lines and skin creases and their clinical significance 4. Describe the features and functions of superficial and deep fascia 5. Physiological Functions of the Skin Saturday, March 30, 2024 2 Lecture Structure        Introduction Skin : definition and features Fascia : superficial and deep Basic Physiology of the Skin Summary Quiz References Saturday, March 30, 2024 3 Skin  Skin is the largest organ in body  It is divided into superficial layer called epidermis & deep layer called dermis  Epidermis is thick in palm and sole  Dermis is made of dense connective tissue containing blood vessels, nerves & lymphatics  Dermis contains also sweat glands, sebaceous glands & hair follicles

Appendages https://kidshealth.org/EN/images/illustrations/skin-325x192-rd1-enIL. gif Saturday, March 30, 2024  Nails: Keratinized plates on dorsal of fingers & toes  Hair follicles  Sweat glands Deepest structure in dermis  Sebaceous glands Present in dermis & secret sebum 5 Skin lines Skin creases:  They are grooves opposite joints  Skin is always thin at these sites and firmly adherent to underlying structures  Creases are prominent on flexor surfaces of palm, sole & digits to facilitate movements Langers lines: or cleavage lines  They correspond to natural orientation of collagen in dermis  Incisions made parallel to lines heal better than those made across the lines  Lines runs longitudinal in the limbs& transversely in the neck and trunk Saturday, March 30, 2024 6 Skin

is divided into 2 layers 1- Superficial fascia 2- Deep fascia Saturday, March 30, 2024 11 Superficial Fascia Superficial Fascia : A layer of loose connective tissue containing fat It is firmly attached to the skin in  Scalp  Back of neck  Palm & sole It is loosely attached to the skin in  Dorsum of hand  Dorsum of foot https://yogalifestylecom.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/img_0137.jpg?w=1400 Saturday, March 30, 2024 Superficial Fascia It is devoid of fat in  Eye lids & auricle of ear  Penis & scrotum  Clitoris It is rich in fat in  Breast  Gluteal region https://encryptedtbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ3ugmihyitYdQxi5AwrgLOOdiaNFBM44emuay5YoAAbRkOcBmbg Saturday, March 30, 2024 13 Superficial Fascia

of heat  Gives body its shape  Contains blood vessels , nerves & sometimes muscles  Holds skin firmly to deeper structures by bundles of collagen Saturday, March 30, 2024 15 Deep Fascia  It is a membranous layer of connective tissue that invests muscles.  It is well developed in limbs thin in thorax & abdomen  absent in most of the face

fibrous flexor sheath Netter Atlas of human anatomy 6th edition Saturday, March 30, 2024 Functions of Deep Fascia  Covers the muscles & assist in their action  Deep surface of fascia gives rise to septa &it is thickened in palm & sole forming palmer & planter aponeuroses  It is thickened around joints forming retinacula &  Thickened opposite the flexor surface of fingers forming fibrous flexor sheaths  In neck forms well defined layers that may play a role in the path of spread of infection  Helps in venous return Saturday, March 30, 2024 24 Deep fascia and Venous Return https://www.earthslab.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/031817_0059_Perforating1.jpg Physiology Of Skin 1- Protection Against: Physical and Chemical Trauma. Microorganisms. Radiations. 2- Thermoregulation By negative feedback between Skin, Skeletal muscles, sweat glands,and hypothalamus. 3- Sensation High number of Sensory Receptors in the Skin Specially the Face and Fingertips. Provide immediate sensory feedback to sensory cerebral cortex to protect the body against injury. Physiology Of Skin 4- Water Storage Protection and Maintenance of normal of water and electrolytes. 5- Absorption Drugs ( Dermal patches and creams ). Toxic Organisms ( if the barrier is injured or weak ). 6- Expression The Skin of the face can express wide range of emotions, behavior, and communication. Physiology Of Skin 7- Synthesis of Vitamin D Deficiency of Vitamin D In infants leads to Rickets and in Adults leads to Oteoporosis. Summary  Skin : is thick in palm and hand  It shows skin creases and langers lines  Fascia is either superficial or deep  Superficial fascia contains fat, nerves and vessels,It keeps body temperature ,Gives the body its shape  Deep fascia surrounds muscles, forms septa , retinacula, fibrous flexor sheaths and helps in venous return Saturday, March 30, 2024 29 Quiz 1- For better healing , an incision in limbs should be done: a) Transverse b) Longitudinal c) Circular d) Spiral e) Anti- Clockwise 2- Which of the following is a function of deep fascia : a) Gives body its shape b) Keep body temperature c) Contains muscles d) Connect skin to underlying structure e) Helps in venous return Saturday, March 30, 2024 30 SUGGESTED TEXTBOOKS Clinical Anatomy by regions by Richard Snell 9th edition Saturday, March 30, 2024 31
