Chapter 19: Skin, Skeletal System, and Muscular System

Slide 3

19.1 Human Body Organization Cells => Tissues => Organs => Organ systems => Organism

Slide 4

Review parts of the cell: the basic unit of life

Slide 5

Tissue: a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function. There are 4 main types of tissue in the human body: Epithelial tissue Connective tissue Muscle tissue Nervous tissue

Slide 6

Epithelial tissue Covers the outside of the body and lines structures inside the body. Cells are closely packed to provide a protective barrier for the body.

Slide 7

Connective tissue Tendons, ligaments, bones, and blood. Holds together other tissues. Cells are loosely packed.

Slide 8

Muscle tissue Muscles around bones and in organs. Allows movement.

Slide 9

Nervous tissue Gathers and transmits information throughout the body (senses and responds).

Slide 10

Organ A group of tissues working together to perform a specific function.

Slide 11

Organ system A group of organs that work together to carry out one or more body functions.

Slide 12

Circulatory system Pumps blood through the body, brings nutrients to cells, carries wastes away from cells.

Slide 13

Skeletal system Supports the body and gives it shape.

Slide 14

Muscular system Enables the body to move.

Slide 15

Respiratory system Takes in oxygen from the air and gives off carbon dioxide.

Slide 16

Digestive system Takes in food and breaks it down into usable energy.

Slide 17

Urinary system Rids the body of liquid and dissolved wastes and helps balance salts and water in the body.

Slide 18

Nervous system Takes in and responds to information in the environment.

Slide 19

Endocrine system Helps regulate the bodys functions

Slide 20

Immune system Helps the body fight disease.

Slide 21

Reproductive system Allows the production of offspring.

Slide 22

19.2 Skin

Slide 23

Skin: also known as the integumentary system. Largest organ of the body (2 square meters). Sense organ. Covers body and protects it from injury. Regulates body temperature. Rids body of wastes. Prevents water and blood loss. Protects body from disease.

Slide 24

The skin is made of three layers: Epidermis: Outer layer. Dermis: Middle layer. Subcutaneous tissue: Deepest layer.

Slide 25

Epidermis: The outermost layer. Replaced every 28 days. Made of cells called keratinocytes that produce keratin, a protein that makes the skin tough. Hair, nails, feathers, claws, and horns are also made of keratin. Keratinocytes protect deeper cells from damage and drying out, and keep out microorganisms.

Slide 26

Slide 27

The cells in the epidermis are in layers. Old keratinocytes fill up with keratin and get pushed up by new keratinocytes, which are produced by the innermost layer of the epidermis. As the cells get pushed away, they are away from the blood supply and die. These cells then flake off (and become dust, EWW!)

Slide 28

Slide 29

Other cells in the epidermis: Melanocytes: Produce melanin. Melanin: The chemical responsible for skin color. More melanin = darker skin. Melanin is released when the skin is exposed to the sun (causes a tan). Protects skin from sun damage. Langerhans cells: Immune cells.

Slide 30

Dermis: the thick middle layer of the skin. Contains many different items: Nerve endings: Sense of touch. Blood vessels: Control body temperature. Expand to release heat, contract to keep heat. Sweat glands: Control body temperature. Sweat evaporates to cool body off. Sweat also removes some wastes from the body.

Slide 31

More items in the dermis: Connective tissue Collagen and elastin fibers: Elasticity. Hair follicles Oil glands: Keep skin smooth and waterproof and keep hair from getting brittle.

Slide 32

Slide 33

Subcutaneous tissue The innermost layer of the skin. Contains connective tissue and fat cells. Fat cells insulate the body and conserve heat.

Slide 34

Burns: First degree: Just the epidermis. Pain. Second degree: Epidermis and dermis. Pain. Third degree: All three layers of skin. No pain because the nerve endings are destroyed.

Slide 35

Skin Cancer: Warning Signs: The ABCDEs of Melanoma Asymmetry If you draw a line through this mole, the two halves will not match. Border The borders of an early melanoma tend to be uneven. The edges may be scalloped or notched. Color Having a variety of colors is another warning signal. A number of different shades of brown, tan or black could appear. A melanoma may also become red, blue or some other color. Diameter Melanomas usually are larger in diameter than the size of the eraser on your pencil (1/4 inch or 6 mm), but they may sometimes be smaller when first detected. Evolving Any change in size, shape, color, elevation, or another trait, or any new symptom such as bleeding, itching or crusting points to danger. http://www.skincancer.org/melanoma/Page-3.html

Slide 36

Nails: Modified skin. Mostly keratin. Protect the soft tissue at the tips of the fingers.

Slide 37

Hair: Covers the entire body (except for palms, soles, and lips) Mostly keratin. Protects eyes and nose from dust. Keeps body warm. Insulates head. Goose bumps. Hair follicles: Tiny, saclike structures in dermis from which hair grows.

Slide 38

19.3 The Skeletal System

Slide 39

There are 206 bones in the skeletal system. Gives the body shape. Supports the body. Protects organs. Allows movement. Stores nutrients. Produces blood cells.

Slide 40

The skeleton is divided into two main sections: Axial skeleton: Bones of the head, neck, and trunk (in green). Appendicular skeleton: Bones of the limbs (in purple).

Slide 41

Bones to know: Skull Hyoid Sternum Ribs Vertebrae Sacrum Coccyx

Slide 42

Bones to know: Clavicle Scapula Humerus Radius Ulna Carpal bones Metacarpal bones Phalanges

Slide 43

Bones to know: Pelvic girdle Femur Patella Tibia Fibula Tarsal bones Metatarsal bones Phalanges

Slide 44

A bones shape relates to its function: Long bones: In arms and legs, for example. Short bones: In fingers and toes, for example. Flat bones: In skull and pelvis, for example. Irregular bones: In backbone and ears, for example.

Slide 45

Composition of a bone: A bone is made of three layers: Periosteum Compact bone Spongy bone (plus bone marrow in the middle of long bones)

Slide 46

Periosteum: Thin layer that covers the bone. Contains blood vessels. Compact bone: Dense layer underneath the periosteum. Contains blood vessels, nerve cells, osteocytes, and minerals (calcium and phosphorous). Spongy bone: Strong but lightweight.

Slide 47

Bone marrow: Found in the cavity in the middle of long bones. Red bone marrow: Produces red blood cells and some white blood cells. Yellow bone marrow: Contains mostly fat cells, which store energy.

Slide 48

Bone growth and repair are allowed by two types of cells: Osteoblasts: Produce bone. Osteoclasts: Break down bone.

Slide 49

Bone tissue

Slide 50

Formation of bone: Bones start out as cartilage in the fetus. Cartilage: Soft, flexible connective tissue. The cartilage gradually changes to bone through a process called ossification. At birth, a person has over 300 bones. As we develop, some of these bones fuse, so we end up with 208 bones.

Slide 51

Slide 52

Joint: The place where two bones meet. There are three classifications of joints: Immovable: Allow no movement. Example: Bones in the skull. Slightly movable: Allow limited movement. Example: Bones in the spine. Movable: Allow movement in one or more directions. Example: Bones in the arms and legs.

Slide 53

There are four kinds of movable joints:

Slide 54

Ball and socket: Allows movement in many directions. Examples: Hip and shoulder. Ball and socket joint

Slide 55

Gliding: Allow bones to slide past each other. Examples: Wrist and ankle.

Slide 56

Hinge: Allow back and forth movement. Examples: Elbow, knee, finger, and toe.

Slide 57

Pivot: Allow bones to twist past each other. Example: Forearm.

Slide 58

Ligaments: Thick connective tissue that holds bones together at joints. Tendons: Attach muscle to bone.

Slide 59

19.4 The Muscular System There are more than 600 muscles in your body! Muscles make up over 40% your body mass.

Slide 60

Muscles to know: Sternocleidomastoid Deltoid Trapezius Pectoralis major Biceps brachii Triceps brachii Rectus abdominus

Slide 61

Muscles to know: Sartorius Gastrocnemius Latissimus dorsi Hamstring group Quadriceps group Gluteus maximus

Slide 62

There are three types of muscle tissue:

Slide 63

Skeletal muscle: Attach to bones. Long, thin cells with more than one nucleus. Striated: Has alternating light and dark bands. Pull on bones to allow voluntary movements.

Slide 64

Smooth muscle: Found in internal organs. Tapered cells with one nucleus. Not striated. Is involuntary not under conscious control.

Slide 65

Cardiac muscle: Found in the heart. Branched cells with striations and only one nucleus. Involuntary.

Slide 66

Skeletal muscle structure: Skeletal muscle fibers are grouped into bundles. These bundles contain muscle cells, connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.

Slide 67

Actin and myosin: The proteins responsible for muscle contraction. Gives the muscle cell its striated appearance.

Slide 68

Muscle cell contraction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ309LfHQ3M

Slide 69

Motor nerve: Connects muscle cells to brain. One motor nerve can connect to many muscle cells.

Slide 70

Muscles and movement: Tendon: Attaches muscle to bone. Skeletal muscles PULL on bones only. In order to allow for a full range of motion, skeletal muscles are usually found in pairs One muscle moves the bone in one direction, and another moves it in the opposite direction. When one contracts, the other relaxes, and vice versa.
