LIFE SPAN CHANGESEPIDERMIS:

MITOSIS SLOWS: LARGER, IRREGULAR BUT LESS; SCALY: KERRATIN BONDS; ‘AGE SPOTS’ FROM OXIDATION OF GLANDS;

DERMIS: FIBER PRODUCTION SLOWS: THINS; WITH LOSS OF

ADIPOSE (SUBCUTANEOUS): WRINKLING; HEALING SLOWWS (LESS FIBROBLASTS); OIL PRODUCTION DECREASES: SKIN DRIES;

ACCESSORY GLANDS: LESS MELANIN: WHITE HAIR; HAIR GROWTH SLOWS,

HAIRS THIN, FOLLICLE NUMBER DECREASES, BALDNESS (MALES); LESS BLOOD TO NAILS: SLOWS GROWTH, HARDEN; LESS PAIN AND PRESSURE RECEPTORS;

LIFE SPAN CHANGES (CONT.)TEMPERATURE CONTROL LESSENS: LESS

SWEAT GLANDS AND LESS CAPILLARIES TO GLANDS; SHIVERING ABILITY LESSENS; LESS DEEPER BLOOD VESSELS AND LESS ABILITY TO SHUNT BLOOD TO INTERIOR: FEEL COLD; PALE: LESS BLOOD VESSELS IN SKIN; BED SORES: CHANGES IN BLOOD VESSELS;

GET LESS VITAMIN D AND GET OUTSIDE LESS: AFFECTS BONE MAY NEED SUPPLEMENTAL VITAMIN D;

THINGS TO KNOWWhat is the integumentary system? The

parts, membrane type, functions .Layers, what is found there, functionsLayers of epidermis: what is present,

purpose, melanocytes,What determines skin colorAccessory structures: nails, hair, oil glands,

sweat glandsHow body temperature is regulated, heat is

lost, retained, problems with regulation

How healing occurs in the different layers, scar formation

Characteristics of different types of burns, healing, grafting

Life span changes: epidermis, dermis, accessory glands, temperature control
