Cutaneous Membrane
• Cutaneous membrane = skin
– Dry membrane
– Outermost protective boundary
• Superficial epidermis is composed of
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
• Underlying dermis is mostly dense
connective tissue

covers the body surface.

• Synovial
membrane
– Connective tissue
only
– Lines fibrous
capsules
surrounding joints
– Secretes a
lubricating fluid

Integumentary System
• Skin (cutaneous membrane)
• Skin derivatives – sweat glands, oil glands,
hair & nails
• Protects deeper tissue from: bumps,
chemicals, bacteria, UV rays, heat/cold,
dessication
• Skin functions - aids in heat loss &
retention, excretion of urea, synthesizes
vitamin D
5
Skin Structure
• Epidermis – outer
layer
– Keratinized, stratified
squamous epithelium
• Dermis - dense
connective tissue –
where tattoos are
placed!
• Subcutaneous Layer
(Hypodermis)

Skin Structure
Where do we find tattoos?
Hair shaft
Dermal papillae
Epidermis
Papillary
layer
Dermis
Pore
Appendages of skin
• Eccrine sweat gland
• Arrector pili muscle
• Sebaceous (oil) gland
• Hair follicle
• Hair root
Reticular
layer
Hypodermis
(superficial fascia)
Nervous structures
• Sensory nerve fiber
• Lamellar corpuscle
• Hair follicle receptor
(root hair plexus)
Cutaneous vascular plexus
Adipose tissue
7
Two Layers of the Dermis:
• Papillary layer
– Upper dermal region, uneven with
fingerlike projections (papillae)
– Papillae have capillary loops for
nutrients & gas exchange
– Contain free nerve endings (pain) &
Meissner’s corpuscles (touch)
– Give you your finger & foot prints
• Reticular
Layer
•Deepest skin layer
•Contains blood vessels, sweat & oil glands
•Phagocytes travel the area consuming bacteria
8
Melanin
• Pigment (melanin) produced by
melanocytes (cells that produce melanin)
• Color is yellow to brown to black
• Sunlight triggers melanin production
• Excessive sun:
– damages the skin
– makes it leathery
– depresses the immune system
9
Appendages of the Skin
• Sebaceous glands – exocrine glands (have ducts)
– Produce oil – found everywhere except palms/soles
– Most with ducts that empty into hair follicles, some
onto skin.
– Glands are activated at puberty
– Produce sebum (oil & fragmented cells)
• Keeps skin soft & moist
• Keeps hair from getting brittle
• Has chemicals that kill bacteria
– Whitehead/blackhead = plugged sebaceous duct
– Acne – active infection of sebaceous glands
10
Appendages of the Skin
• Sweat glands (sudoriferous glands)
– Widely distributed in skin
– TWO TYPES:
• Eccrine Glands – more numerous, all over body
– Produce sweat (water, salts, vit. C, urea, lactic
acid)
– Acidic pH 4-6, to prevent bacterial growth
– HELPS REGULATE BODY TEMP.
• Apocrine Glands – in axillary & genital regions, larger
than eccrine
– Sweat plus fatty acids & proteins, bacteria
consume these causing an odor
– DO NOT help with temperature regulation, function
not precisely understood

Control of Body Temperature
• Blood vessels – blood vessels in reticular
layer of dermis will dilate (open up) during
increased body temperatures
– Heated blood near skin surface allows heat to
leave the body via evaporation of sweat, face
appears flushed or red
– Blood vessels will constrict (close) during low
body temperatures, conserving heat
• Eccrine Glands – produce sweat in
response to elevated body temperature
13
Skin Cancer-The most common type
of cancer
• Cancer – abnormal cell mass
• Two types of tumors:
– Benign – cells are not able to metastisize
(move to new location)
– Malignant – cancerous cells that can
metastisize (move to new location)
Risks:
1. Skin type
2. Sun exposure
3. Family history
4. Age
5. Immunological status

14
Skin Cancer Types
• Basal cell carcinoma – least malignant and
most common
– bump with pearly edge, rarely metastisizes, surgery
15
Skin Cancer Continued
• Squamous cell carcinoma – rapid growth,
metastisizes to lymph nodes
– Scaly, red areas forming an ulcer, common on scalp,
ears, hands & lower lip
– Surgery + radiation
16
Skin Cancer Continued
• Malignant melanoma – cancer of melanocytes,
spreads rapidly, often deadly
– 5% of skin cancer is this type, often from pigmented
mole
Normal mole
Malignant Melanoma
17
ABCD Rule –for recognizing melanoma
• A = Asymmetry – sides of mole do not match
• B = Border irregularity – no smooth borders
• C = Color – different colors, reds, tans, black,
brown
• D = Diameter – larger than 6 mm
• You want moles to be symmetrical, smooth
borders, one color and small!!
18
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances
• INFECTIONS:
– Athletes foot – fungal infection, red & itchy
– Boils and carbuncles – inflammation of hair follicle &
sebaceous glands caused by bacteria
– Cold sores – caused by herpes simplex (viral) infection,
can be activated by UV rays, anxiety, fever
• Infections and allergies
– Contact dermatitis – Red & blistering skin reaction to an
allergen – poison ivy, detergent, etc.
– Psoriasis – Overproduction of skin cells, red skin
w/silvery scales, may be autoimmune, genetic link
19
Skin Homeostatic Imbalances
• BURNS:
– Tissue damage and cell death
caused by heat, electricity, UV
radiation, or chemicals
– Associated dangers
• Body loses supply of fluids
(proteins & electrolytes)
• Infection
• RULE
OF NINES: 11 areas of the body with 9%
value each, + 1% perineum
•The higher the % the greater the risk of
complications and death.
20
Severity of Burns
• FIRST-DEGREE BURNS – partial thickness burn,
epidermis damaged, red & swollen, 2-3 days to heal,
“sunburn”
• SECOND-DEGREE BURNS – partial thickness burn,
epidermis and papillary layer burned, red with blisters
– Regrowth usually occurs with little to no scarring
• THIRD-DEGREE BURNS – full thickness burn, area is
blackened or gray/white, no pain (nerve endings burned
off)
– Grafting must be done, scarring
• Burns are considered critical if: over 25% of body has 2nd
degree burn, over 10% has 3rd degree burns or 3rd degree
burns on hands/face/feet
