7. Structures of the integumentary system
Subcutaneous layer
ď‚— Hypodermal
ď‚— Sometimes called
superficial fascia
ď‚— Consists of loose
connective tissue

8. Structures of the integumentary system
With age, the
subcutaneous layer
begins to disappear;
this causes the skin to
sag and wrinkle.

Hinweis der Redaktion
Consists of 4 distinct cell types- kerotinocytes, merkel cells, melanocytes, and langerhans cells and 5 layers-stratum germinativum, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.Thickness of the epidermis varies throughout the body- the thinnest is the eyelids and the thickest is the palms of hands and soles of feetThe surface layer (stratum corneum) consists of dead cells rich in keratin. Keratin is a protein that renders the skin dry and provides a waterproof covering thus resisting evaporation and preventing excessive water loss. Serves as a barrier against uv light, bacteria, abrasions, and some chemicals.
Thicker inner skinMany nerve receptors of different types in this layer.
Hair is everywhere on the body except palms of hands, soles of feet, glans penis, and inner surface of the vaginal labia.Root - the part of the hair that is implanted in the skinShaft- projects from the skin surfaceHair follicle- an inpocketing of the epidermis where the root is embeddedCuticle layer- single layer of flat scale like kertanized cells that overlap each otherCortex- elongated kertanized nonliving cells…hair pigment in this layerMedulla- inner layer of hairPapilla- located towards the lower end of the hair follicle is a tuft of tissue which contains capillaries Arrectorpili muscle- attached to each hair follicle on the side
Hard structure covering the dorsal surfaces of the phalanges of the fingers and toes. Slightly convex on upper surface and slightly concave on the lower surfacesFormed in the nail bed or matrix . Epidermal cells first appear as elongated cells. These cells fuse together to form hard kertanized plates.
Located all over the skin surface. Tubular with a coiled base and a tubelike duct that extends out to form a pore in the skin.
