Integumentary System Functions
(Section 1)
• Protection
• Protects underlying tissues and organs from impact,
abrasion, fluid loss, chemical attack
• Produces melanin, which protects underlying tissue from UV
radiation
• Produces keratin, which protects against abrasion and repels
water
• Coordinates immune response to pathogens and skin cancer
• Excretion
• Excretes salts, water, organic wastes
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Integumentary System Functions
(Section 1)
• Body temperature regulation
• Maintains normal body temperature through insulation
or evaporative cooling
• Vitamin D3 synthesis
• Converted to calcitriol, important in calcium metabolism
• Lipid storage
• Stored in adipocytes in dermis and hypodermis
• Sensory input
• Detects touch, pressure, pain, temperature
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Epidermis (4.1)
• Primary cell type in epidermis is keratinocyte
• Body's most abundant epithelial cell
• Multiple layers of cells (stratified squamous
epithelium)
• Stem cells in deepest layers
• Keratinocytes shed at exposed surface
• Epidermal ridges adjacent to dermal papillae
• Increase surface area for better attachment

Characteristics of the Epidermis (4.1)
• Entire epidermis lacks blood vessels
• Cells get oxygen and nutrients from dermis
• Cells with highest metabolic demand closest to
dermis
• Takes 7–10 days for cells to move from deepest
layer (stratum basale) to most superficial layer
(stratum corneum)
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Layers of the Epidermis (4.1)
• Stratum basale
• Deepest layer of epidermis
• Attached to basement membrane by hemidesmosomes
• Most cells here are basal cells, stem cells that divide to
replace more superficial keratinocytes
• Merkel cells that respond to touch are also found here
• Stratum spinosum
• "Spiny layer" composed of 8–10 layers of keratinocytes
• Only looks spiny when on a prepared slide
• Contains dendritic cells, part of immune response
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Layers of the Epidermis (4.1)
• Stratum granulosum
• "Grainy layer" composed of 3–5 layers of keratinocytes
• Most cells have stopped dividing and started making keratin
• Cells grow thinner, flatter with thick and less permeable membranes
• Stratum lucidum
• "Clear layer" found only in thick skin
• Layer of flattened, densely packed dead cells filled with keratin
• Stratum corneum
• 15–30 layers of keratinized cells (filled with keratin)
• Cells are dead but still tightly connected by desmosomes

(from deep to superficial).

Skin Color (4.2)
• Skin color is determined by:
• Pigments in the skin
• Carotene
• Melanin
• Degree of dermal circulation
• Difference in skin pigmentation results from
different levels of pigment production, not different
numbers of melanocytes

Skin Pigments (4.2)
• Carotene
• Orange-yellow pigment
• Most apparent in stratum corneum of light-skinned people
• Found in orange vegetables
• Melanin
• Brown, yellow-brown, or black pigment
• Produced by melanocytes, located in stratum basale
• Packaged into melanosomes; transferred to keratinocytes where it
offers protection for nucleus against UV radiation
• Larger melanosomes result in darker skinned individuals

Dermal Circulation (4.2)
• Hemoglobin is red pigment found in red blood cells
• Blood flows to dermis through papillary plexus
• More blood flow to region results in redder color
• Flushed skin with fever from dilated superficial blood vessels
• Less blood flow to region results in cyanosis
• Lower oxygen levels makes hemoglobin darker red
• From surface view, skin has bluish color
• Most apparent in very thin skin (lips, beneath nails)

Skin Cancers (4.2)
• Skin cancers most common types of cancers
• Basal cell carcinoma
• Most common form of skin cancer
• Originates in stratum basale and rarely metastasizes
• Result of mutation caused by overexposure to UV radiation
• Squamous cell carcinoma
• Second most common form of skin cancer
• Found in areas of sun-exposed skin
• More likely to metastasize than basal cell carcinoma
• Treatment for both types is surgical removal of
tumor

Malignant Melanoma (4.2)
• Most serious form of skin cancer
• Cancerous melanocytes grow rapidly and metastasize
through lymphatic system
• If detected early and removed surgically, the 5-year
survival rate is 99 percent
• If not detected until after metastasis, the 5-year survival
rate is 14 percent
• Key characteristics
• Irregular in shape, border, color

Dermis (4.3)
• Between epidermis and hypodermis
• Two fiber types
1. Elastic fibers stretch and recoil to original length
• Allow flexibility in dermis
2. Collagen fibers are strong, resist stretching, and
bend easily
• Limit flexibility in dermis and prevent damage

Vitamin D and Sunlight (4.4)
• Two sources of vitamin D3
• Sunlight
• Epidermal cells in stratum spinosum and stratum basale
convert steroid compound into vitamin D3
• Vitamin diffuses across basement membrane and into
capillaries
• Diet
• Fish, fish oils, shellfish
• Foods "fortified with vitamin D" like milk and orange juice
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Vitamin D and Calcium (4.4)
• Liver converts vitamin D3 to intermediary product
• Kidney uses that product to synthesize calcitriol
• Calcitriol stimulates calcium and phosphorus
absorption by small intestines
• Bones use calcium and phosphorus for growth
and maintenance

• Mixture of triglycerides, cholesterol, proteins, and electrolytes
• Coats hair shaft and surrounding epidermal surfaces
• Provides lubrication
• Keeps hair shaft from becoming dry and brittle
• Has antibacterial properties
• Contraction of arrector pili muscles squeezes sebaceous
glands, forcing sebum into hair follicle

Age-Related Changes in the Integument (4.8)
• Melanocyte activity declines so skin is more sensitive to sun exposure
and at risk for sunburn
• Sebaceous glands secrete less sebum so skin is dry and scaly
• Increased risk of skin injury, tears, and infection
• Basal cell activity declines so there are fewer epidermal
cells
• Weakened connections between epidermis and dermis
• Declining metabolic activity (less vitamin D3 production)
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Age-Related Changes in the Integument (4.8)
• Decreasing numbers of dendritic cells decrease
immune response
• Dermis thins and has fewer elastic fibers resulting
in sagging and wrinkling
• Merocrine sweat glands are less active so there is
a greater risk of overheating
• Reduced blood supply to dermis affects
temperature regulation
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Age-Related Changes in the Integument (4.8)
• Skin repair slows
• Hair follicles stop functioning or produce thinner
hair
• Decreased melanocyte activity, so gray or white hairs
• Changing levels of sex hormones alter hair and fat
distribution

Integument Repair (4.9)
• Initial injury to skin causes bleeding and release of
mast cells
• After several hours:
• Blood clot or scab forms at surface
• Cells of stratum basale migrate along wound edges
• Macrophages remove debris
• If damage into dermis, combination of fibroblasts, blood
clot, and capillary network form granulation tissue as
part of repair process
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Integument Repair (4.9)
• After one week:
• Scab undermined by migrating epidermal cells
• Phagocytic activity almost complete
• Blood clot disintegrating
• Fibroblasts have formed collagen fibers and ground
substance
• After several weeks:
• Scab is shed; epidermis is complete
• Shallow depression marks injury site
• Fibroblasts continue to create scar tissue – inflexible,
fibrous, noncellular material
