Slide 2.1
Skin and Body Membranes
Function of body membranes

Line or cover body surfaces
Protect body surfaces
Lubricate body surfaces
Slide 4.1
Classification of Body Membranes

Epithelial membranes
Cutaneous membrane
Mucous membrane
Serous membrane
Connective tissue membranes
Slide 4.2
Cutaneous Membrane
Cutaneous membrane = skin
A dry membrane
Outermost protective boundary
Superficial epidermis
Keratinized stratified
squamous epithelium
Underlying dermis
Mostly dense
connective tissue
Figure 4.1a
Slide 4.3
Mucous Membranes
Surface epithelium
Underlying loose C.T.
(lamina propria)
Lines body cavities
that open to the
exterior
Function in absorption
or secretion
Figure 4.1b
Slide 4.4
Serous Membranes
Surface: simple
squamous epithelium
Underlying loose C.T.
Lines body cavities that
are closed
Serous layers separated
by serous fluid
Figure 4.1c
Slide 4.5
Serous Membranes
Specific serous membranes
Peritoneum
Abdominal
cavity
Pleura
Around the
lungs
Pericardium
Figure 4.1d
Around the
heart
Slide 4.6
Connective Tissue Membrane
Synovial membrane
Connective tissue
only
Lines fibrous
capsules
surrounding joints
Figure 4.2
Slide 4.7
Integumentary System
Skin (cutaneous membrane)
Skin derivatives
Sweat glands
Oil glands
Hairs
Nails
Slide 4.8
Skin Functions
Protects deeper tissues from:
Mechanical damage
Chemical damage
Bacterial damage
Thermal damage
Ultraviolet radiation
Desiccation
Slide 4.9a
Skin Functions
Aids in heat regulation

Aids in excretion of urea and uric acid
Synthesizes vitamin D
Slide 4.9b
Skin Structure
Epidermis outer layer
Stratified squamous epithelium
Often keratinized (hardened by keratin)
Dermis
Dense irregular connective tissue
Slide 4.10a
Skin Structure
Figure 4.4
Slide 4.13b
Skin Structure
Deep to dermis is the hypodermis

Not part of the skin
Termed subcutaneous tissue
Anchors skin to underlying organs
Composed mostly of adipose tissue
Slide 4.10b
Skin Structure
Figure 4.4
Slide 4.13b
Dermis
Two layers
Papillary layer
Projections called dermal papillae
Pain receptors
Capillary loops
Reticular layer
Blood vessels
Glands
Nerve receptors
Slide 4.13a
Skin Structure
Figure 4.4
Slide 4.13b
Normal Skin Color Determinants

Melanin
Yellow, brown or black pigments
Produced by melanocytes
Carotene
Orange-yellow pigment from some
vegetables
Slide 4.14
Normal Skin Color Determinants

Hemoglobin
Red coloring from blood cells in dermis
capillaries
Oxygen content determines the extent of red
coloring
Slide 4.14
Appendages of the Skin

Sebaceous glands
Produce oil
Most with ducts that empty into hair follicles
Glands are activated at puberty
Sweat glands
Widely distributed in skin
Slide 4.15
Skin Structure
Figure 4.4
Slide 4.13b
Sweat and Its Function

Composition
Mostly water
Some metabolic waste
Function
Helps dissipate excess heat
Excretes waste products
Low pH inhibits bacterial growth
Slide 4.17
Hair Structures
Hair follicle
Dermal and epidermal
sheath surround hair root
Arrector pilli
Smooth muscle
Sebaceous gland
Sweat gland

Slide 4.20
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances: FYI

Infections
Athletes foot
Caused by fungal infection
Boils and carbuncles
Caused by bacterial infection
Cold sores
Caused by virus
Slide 4.23

Infections and allergies
Contact dermatitis
Exposures cause allergic reaction
Impetigo
Caused by bacterial infection
Psoriasis
Cause is unknown
Triggered by trauma, infection, stress
Slide 4.24

Burns
Tissue damage and cell death caused by
heat, electricity, UV radiation, or chemicals
Associated dangers
Dehydration
Electrolyte imbalance
Circulatory shock
Slide 4.25
Severity of Burns: FYI

First-degree burns
Only epidermis is damaged
Skin is red and swollen
Second degree burns

Epidermis and upper dermis are damaged
Skin is red with blisters
Third-degree burns
Destroys entire skin layer
Burn is gray-white or black
Slide 4.27
Skin Cancer: FYI

Cancer abnormal cell mass
Two types
Benign
Does not spread (encapsulated)
Malignant
Metastasized (moves) to other parts of
the body
Skin cancer is the most common type of
cancer
Slide 4.29
Skin Cancer Types: FYI

Basal cell carcinoma
Least malignant
Most common type
Squamous cell carcinoma

Metastasizes to lymph nodes
Early removal allows a good chance of cure
Slide 4.30
Skin Cancer Types: FYI

Malignant melanoma
Most deadly of skin cancers
Cancer of melanocytes
Metastasizes rapidly to lymph and blood
vessels
Detection uses ABCD rule
Slide 4.31
ABCD Rule: FYI

A = Asymmetry
Two sides of pigmented mole do not match
B = Border irregularity
Borders of mole are not smooth
C = Color
Different colors in pigmented area
D = Diameter
Spot is larger than 6 mm in diameter
