SKIN - INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
The document discusses the structure and functions of the skin and its role in temperature regulation. It describes the three main layers of the skin - epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis contains keratinocytes, melanocytes and other cell types arranged in multiple layers. The dermis lies below and contains collagen, nerves and blood vessels. The hypodermis is a fatty layer that stores fat and anchors the skin. Skin appendages like hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands are also discussed. Temperature is regulated through mechanisms like sweating, vasodilation and shivering that are controlled by the hypothalamus to maintain the body's set point. Fever occurs when
Skin functions
The skin has several key functions:
1. It protects underlying tissues from mechanical, chemical, and thermal injury through the actions of keratin and by providing a defensive barrier against pathogens.
2. It contains sensory receptors that detect touch, pressure, heat, cold, and hair movement.
3. It regulates body temperature through sweat glands and blood vessel dilation/constriction and uses negative feedback to maintain core temperature within a normal range.
4. It synthesizes vitamin D through exposure to UV light, which is essential for bone mineralization. Lack of vitamin D can lead to osteoporosis.
Integumentary disorders
This document provides an overview of integumentary (skin) disorders. It begins with an introduction to the skin's anatomy and functions. The three layers of the skin - epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue - are then described in detail. The document discusses the skin's role in protection, sensation, and fluid balance regulation. Specific cell types, glands, hair, and nails are also examined. A variety of bacterial, viral, and inflammatory skin conditions are listed for further discussion.
Layers of skin
The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin composed of keratinocytes and other cell types. It forms a protective barrier against pathogens and regulates water loss. The epidermis consists of several layers - the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum. The dermis lies beneath the epidermis and contains structures like hair follicles, sweat and oil glands, blood vessels, nerves. The hypodermis is the lowest layer and stores fat. Together these layers comprise the integumentary system which acts as a protective barrier for the body.
Skin
The dermis is made of connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers that provide strength and elasticity. It contains fibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages, blood vessels and nerve endings. The deepest dermis layer is the subcutaneous tissue containing fat. Within the dermis are sweat and sebaceous glands, hair follicles with arrector pili muscles, and sensory receptors for touch and pain. The dermis gives the skin strength and elasticity but loss of collagen and elastic fibers with age leads to wrinkles and stretch marks.

Skin
The document discusses the structure and function of mammalian skin. It has three main layers - the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer. The subcutaneous layer contains fat which provides insulation and energy storage. The dermis contains sensory nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, and capillaries. The epidermis regulates temperature and protects the body from microbes. Mammalian skin has several adaptations for thermoregulation including sweat glands, hair, and vasodilation/vasoconstriction of blood vessels.
SKIN : Excretory system in Human
The human skin has multiple layers and performs several important functions. It is the largest organ and acts as a protective barrier between the internal body and external environment. The outermost layer is the epidermis, which provides waterproofing and prevents infection. The epidermis contains keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells. It is divided into the stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. Keratinocytes are formed at the innermost layer and migrate outward while differentiating, filling with keratin, and eventually being shed from the stratum corneum after about 27 days in a process called keratinization.
Integumentary System
The skin is the largest organ of the body and has three main layers - the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layer. The epidermis is the outer layer and does not contain blood vessels, while the dermis below contains connective tissue and collagen. The deepest subcutaneous layer contains fat cells. The skin also contains sweat glands, hair follicles, nails and oil glands, and acts as a protective barrier while also sensing touch and temperature. Skin can be affected by pathogens, diseases, infections and cancers.
Skin and Appendages of skin
The skin consists of two main layers - the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium with the basal layer containing keratinocytes that proliferate and push upwards. As they migrate upwards through the strata, the keratinocytes flatten and fill with keratin to form the protective outer layer. The dermis lies below the epidermis and contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles and glands. The skin has important protective, sensory and temperature regulating functions.
