The Integumentary 
System 
PowerPoint® Lecture Presentations prepared by 
Steven Bassett 
Southeast Community College 
Lincoln, Nebraska
Introduction 
• The integumentary system is composed of: 
• Skin 
• Hair 
• Nails 
• Sweat glands 
• Oil glands 
• Mammary glands

Introduction 
• The skin is the most visible organ of the 
body 
• Clinicians can tell a lot about the overall 
health of the body by examining the skin 
• Skin is capable of repair even after serious 
damage because of containing stem cells 
persist both in epidermis and dermis.

Integumentary Structure and Function 
• Functions include: 
• Physical protection 
• Regulation of body temperature 
• Excretion of products (secretion) 
• Synthesis of products (nutrition) 
• Sensation 
• Immune defense

Integumentary Structure and Function 
• Skin (cutaneous membrane) is made of 
two divisions 
• Epidermis 
• Dermis 
• Hypodermis (subcutaneous layer) is deep to the 
dermis. This layer separates the skin from deep 
fasciae 
• Accessory structures 
• Hair, nails, exocrine glands

The Epidermis 
• There are four cell types found in the epidermis 
• Keratinocytes 
• Produces a tough protein called keratin 
• the most abundant cells in the epidermis. 
• Melanocytes 
• Pigment cells located deep in the epidermis 
• Produce melanin (skin color) 
• Merkel cells 
• Sensory cells 
• They send their free nerve endings into the epidermis, which are 
very sensitive to gentle touch. 
• Langerhans cells 
• Fixed macrophages 
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Epidermis 
• Layers of the Epidermis 
• Stratum basale (stratum germinativum) 
• Deepest layer 
• Stratum spinosum 
• Stratum granulosum 
• Stratum lucidum 
• Stratum corneum 
• Most superficial layer

The Epidermis 
• Epidermal ridges 
• Stratum germinativum forms epidermal 
ridges 
• Ridges (dermal papillae) extend into the 
dermis 
• Creates ridges we call fingerprints

The basic organization of the 
epidermis. The thickness of the 
epidermis, especially the thickness 
of the stratum corneum, changes 
radically depending on the 
location sampled.

The papillary layer of the dermis consists 
of loose connective tissue that contains 
numerous blood vessels (not visible), 
fibers (Fi), and macrophages (not visible). 
Open spaces, such as those marked by 
asterisks, would be filled with fluid 
ground substance

Accessory Structures 
• Hair 
• Made of keratin 
 98% of the 5 million hairs on the body are not 
on the head. 
 The fine hairs grown on the fetus body is 
called Lanugo. 
• Hair follicles 
 Hair follicles are the organs that form the 
hairs.

Accessory Structures 
• Glands in the skin 
• Eccrine glands or Merocrine glands: 
• The most abundant and widely distributed 
sweat glands that regulate body temperature. 
• Sebaceous glands: 
• Often associated with hair follicles. This is 
true also with Apocrine sweat glands that 
connect to the hair follicle to access to the 
surface of the skin.

• Assist in thermoregulation 
• Excrete wastes 
• Lubricate epidermis 
• Secrete oily lipid (sebum) that 
coats hair shaft and epidermis 
• Provide lubrication and 
antibacterial action 
types 
consist of 
Secrete into hair follicles Secrete onto skin surface 
• Produce watery solution by 
merocrine secretion 
• Flush epidermal surface 
• Perform other special functions 
types 
• Limited distribution 
(axillae, groin, 
nipples) 
• Produce a viscous 
secretion of complex 
composition 
• Possible function in 
communication 
• Strongly influenced 
by hormones 
• Widespread 
• Produce thin secretions, 
mostly water 
• Merocrine secretion 
mechanism 
• Controlled primarily by 
nervous system 
• Important in 
thermoregulation and 
excretion 
• Some antibacterial action 
special apocrine glands 
Secrete waxy cerumen 
into external ear canal 
Apocrine glands 
specialized for milk 
production

• Produce milk under the control of hormones from 
the pituitary gland

Longitudinal section
Aging and the Integumentary System 
• Epidermis becomes thinner 
• Dermis becomes thinner 
• Number of Langerhans’ cells decreases 
• Vitamin D production declines 
• Melanocyte activity declines 
• Glandular activity declines 
• Hair follicles stop functioning 
• Skin repair slows down 
 Mechanical stress can trigger stem cell divisions resulting in calluses. 
 Regeneration occurs after damage. 
 The inability to completely heal after severe damage may result in acellular 
scar tissue.

Fewer Melanocytes Fewer Active 
Follicles 
Thinner, sparse 
hairs 
• Pale skin 
• Reduced tolerance 
for sun exposure 
Reduced Skin Repair Decreased Immunity 
Skin repairs proceed 
more slowly. 
The number of dendritic cells 
decreases to about 50 percent of levels 
seen at maturity (roughly age 21). 
Thin Epidermis 
• Slow repairs 
• Decreased vitamin 
D production 
• Reduced number 
of Langerhans cells 
Reduced Sweat 
Gland Activity 
Tendency to 
overheat 
Changes in Distribution of Dry Epidermis Reduced Blood Supply Thin Dermis 
Fat and Hair 
Due to reductions in 
sex hormone levels 
Reduction in 
sebaceous and 
sweat gland activity 
• Slow healing 
• Reduced ability to lose 
heat 
Sagging and 
wrinkling due to 
fiber loss

  • 29. Accessory Structures • Glands in the skin • Eccrine glands or Merocrine glands: • The most abundant and widely distributed sweat glands that regulate body temperature. • Sebaceous glands: • Often associated with hair follicles. This is true also with Apocrine sweat glands that connect to the hair follicle to access to the surface of the skin. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 34. Aging and the Integumentary System • Epidermis becomes thinner • Dermis becomes thinner • Number of Langerhans’ cells decreases • Vitamin D production declines • Melanocyte activity declines • Glandular activity declines • Hair follicles stop functioning • Skin repair slows down  Mechanical stress can trigger stem cell divisions resulting in calluses.  Regeneration occurs after damage.  The inability to completely heal after severe damage may result in acellular scar tissue. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
  • 35. Figure 4.16 The Skin during the Aging Process © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Fewer Melanocytes Fewer Active Follicles Thinner, sparse hairs • Pale skin • Reduced tolerance for sun exposure Reduced Skin Repair Decreased Immunity Skin repairs proceed more slowly. The number of dendritic cells decreases to about 50 percent of levels seen at maturity (roughly age 21). Thin Epidermis • Slow repairs • Decreased vitamin D production • Reduced number of Langerhans cells Reduced Sweat Gland Activity Tendency to overheat Changes in Distribution of Dry Epidermis Reduced Blood Supply Thin Dermis Fat and Hair Due to reductions in sex hormone levels Reduction in sebaceous and sweat gland activity • Slow healing • Reduced ability to lose heat Sagging and wrinkling due to fiber loss
