Introduction

• Integumentary system consists of skin and its accessory organs

• Accessory organs:• Hair follicles

• Nails

• Skin glands

Skin is the body’s outer covering and its

largest organ.

24-6

Functions of the Integumentary System

• Protection• First line of defense against

• Bacteria

• Viruses

• Protects underlying structures from

• Ultraviolet (UV) radiation

• Dehydration

24-7

Functions of the Integumentary System (cont.)

• Body temperature regulation• If too hot

• Dermal blood vessels dilate

• Vessels carry more blood to surface so heat can escape

• If too cold• Dermal blood vessels constrict

• Prevents heat from escaping

24-8

• Vitamin D production• Needed for calcium absorption

• Sensation• Sensory receptors

• Excretion• Small amounts of waste products

are lost through perspiration

24-9

Structure of Skin

• Epidermis

• Dermis

• Hypodermisor subcutaneous layer

Bac

k

24-10

Skin Structure: Epidermis

• Most superficial layer

• Two parts• Stratum corneum

• Outermost layer

• Mostly dead cells form an impermeable layer

• Stratum basale (stratum germinativum)

• Deepest layer

• Cells constantly dividing and pushing older cells outward

24-11

Skin Structure: Epidermis (cont.)

• Keratinocyte – most common• Makes and accumulates keratin

• Durable protein that makes the epidermis waterproof and resistant to pathogens

• Melanocyte• Makes the pigment melanin

• Traps UV radiation and prevents damage to underlying layers of the skin

24-12

Skin Structure: Dermis

• Deeper of the two skin layers

• Contains all major tissue types, plus• Sudoriferous (sweat) glands

• Sebaceous (oil) glands

• Hair follicles and arrector pili muscles

• Collagen, elastic, and nerve fibers

• Blood vessels

• Binds the epidermis to the subcutaneous tissue

24-13

Skin Structure: Subcutaneous Layer

• Hypodermis

• Composed of

• Adipose (fat) and loose connective tissue

• Blood vessels and nerves

• Functions

• Storage in adipose tissue

• Cushions and insulates underlying structures

24-14

Checkpoint!

Where are melanocytes and keratinocytes, and

what is their function?

ANSWER: Both are located in the epidermis of the

skin. Keratinocytes make and accumulate keratin,

which is a durable protein that makes the epidermis

waterproof and resistant to pathogens.

Melanocytes make the pigment melanin, which traps

UV radiation and prevents damage to underlying

layers of the skin.

24-15

Skin Color

• Determined by amount of melanin in the epidermis of skin

• The more melanin, the darker the skin color

• Range is from yellowish to brownish

24-16

Skin Color (cont.)

• Oxygenated blood• Amount of oxygen dissolved in the hemoglobin of

the red blood cells• Hemoglobin – a pigment in the RBCs

• If blood is well-oxygenated, skin will be pink

• If oxygen level in blood is low, skin will be pale or have a bluish color (cyanosis)

24-17

Checkpoint!

What affects skin color?

ANSWER: The amount of melanin

produced by the melanocytes and the

oxygenation of the blood.

24-18

Skin Lesions

• Any variation in the skin• As simple as a freckle

• As serious as a tumor

24-19

Skin Lesions (cont.)

Lesion Name Description

Bulla A large blister or cluster of blisters

Cicatrix A scar, usually inside a wound or tissue

Crust Dried blood or pus on the skin

Ecchymosis A black-and-blue mark or bruise

Erosion A shallow area of skin worn away by

friction or pressure

Excoriation A scratch; may be covered with dried blood

24-20

Skin Lesions (cont.)

Lesion Name Description

Fissure A crack in the skin’s surface

Keloid An overgrowth of scar tissue

Macule A flat skin discoloration, such as a freckle or

a flat mole

Nodule A large pimple or small node

Papule An elevated mass similar to but smaller than

a nodule

Petechiae Pinpoint skin hemorrhages that result from

bleeding disorders

24-21

Skin Lesions (cont.)

Lesion Name Description

Plaque A small, flat, scaly area of skin

Purpura Purple-red bruises usually due to clotting

abnormalities

Scale Thin plaques of epithelial tissue on skin’s

surface

Pustule An elevated (infected) lesion containing pus

Tumor A swelling of abnormal tissue growth

24-22

Skin Lesions (cont.)

Lesion Name Description

Ulcer A wound that results from tissue loss

Vesicle A blister

Wheal Another term for hive

24-23

Accessory Organs (cont.)

• Hair follicles• Tube-like depressions

in the dermis of skin• Generate hairs• Alopecia (baldness)

occurs when follicles die

• Arrector pili muscles attached to follicles cause goose bumps

• Sebaceous glands• Produce sebum to

keep hair soft• Prevent bacteria from

growing on skin

• Nails • Protect the ends of

fingers and toes• Hard keratin

24-24

Accessory Organs (cont.)

• Sudoriferous (sweat) glands• Located in the dermis of skin• Types

• Eccrine • Produce watery type of sweat• Activated by heat

• Apocrine • Produce thicker type of sweat with more proteins• Concentrated in armpit and groin areas• Activated by nervousness or stress

Skin Healing

• Injury inflammation• Redness due to dilation of

nearby blood vessels

• Swelling because vessels leak fluid into spaces between cells

• Pain because excess fluid activates pain receptors

24-27

Skin Healing (cont.)

• Inflammation promotes healing • Extra blood to area

• Extra nutrients for skin repair

• Defensive cells Injury occurs

Blood clot

formsScab replaces

blood clot Clotted blood and

other dried tissueCollagen fibers

replace scab Bind the edges of wound;

major component of scars

24-28

Checkpoint!

How does inflammation promote healing of the

skin?

ANSWER: Inflammation promotes healing by

bringing extra blood, nutrients for skin

repair, and defensive cells to the area of

injury.

24-29

Skin and Aging

• Skin loses firmness due to • Loss of elastic and collagen

fibers in dermis

• Loss and shifting of underlying adipose tissues

• Skin color changes• Dermis becomes thinner and more transparent

• Paler due to decrease in circulation

24-30

Skin and Aging (cont.)

• Melanocytes decrease • Those remaining gather “age” spots

• Hair grays and becomes thinner

• Decreased tolerance to temperature changes• Sudoriferous glands decrease in number

• Decreased perspiration, hard to adjust to high temperatures

• Loss in adipose tissue and decreased circulation• Increased sensitivity to cold

24-31

Chekpoint!

What happens to the skin in the elderly?

ANSWER: As a person ages, the skin loses

firmness, skin color changes, melanocytes

decrease, and tolerance to temperature

changes decreases due to a loss of adipose

tissue and sweat glands.

24-32

Burns• Second leading cause of accidental death in the

U.S.

• Rule of nines is used to determine severity (degree) of burn

• Burn severity:• First-degree• Second-degree• Third-degree

24-33

Back

24-34

Burns: Treatment

• Do not remove anything sticking to the burn

• Do not apply butter, lotions, or ointments

• Cool with large amounts of water

• Cover with sterile sheet or plastic bag

24-35

Apply Your Knowledge

Using Figure 24-5, determine burn severity for a patient who has burnt his anterior face and both arms.

Click for Figure 24-5

Rule of Nines

ANSWER: Head = 9%

Both arms, hands, and shoulders = 18% + 18%

9% + 18% + 18% = 45%

It all adds up to a

right answer!

24-36

Skin Cancer

• Basal cell carcinoma – progresses slowly and rarely spreads to other body parts

• Squamous cell carcinoma – more likely to spread to surrounding tissues

• Malignant melanoma – more aggressive and occurs anywhere

• Most arise from melanocytes

24-37

Skin Cancer: Basal Cell Carcinoma

• Signs and symptoms• New growth or sore that will not heal

• Waxy, smooth, red, pale, flat, or lumpy

• May or may not bleed

• Treatment: • Curettage and electrodessication

Cryosurgery

• Mohs’ surgery Laser therapy

24-38

Skin Cancer: Squamous Cell Carcinoma

• Less common than basal cell carcinoma

• Found on face, lips, ears, and backs of hands

• Signs and symptoms and treatments are the same as for basal cell carcinoma

24-39

Skin Cancer: Malignant Melanoma

• Signs and Symptoms• From melanocytes

• Appear on trunk, head, neck of men

• Appear on arms and legs of women

• Itches or bleeds

• Treatment• Surgery and biopsy

• Removal of lymph nodes

• Chemotherapy and radiation therapy

• Immunotherapy

24-40

Skin Cancer: Stages of Melanoma

Stage 0 Only found in epidermis

Stage I Spread to epidermis and dermis (1 to 2 mm

thick)

Stage II 2 to 4 mm thick plus ulceration

Stage III Spread to one or more lymph nodes

Stage IV Spread to other body organs or lymph nodes

far from original melanoma

24-41

Skin Cancer: ABCD Rule

A Asymmetry: The mole should not become

asymmetrical

B Border should not become irregular

C Color should not change or become

mixture of colors

D Diameter should not grow larger than the

diameter of a pencil eraser

24-42
