Basic Skin Functions
• Protects deeper tissues
from
–mechanical damage
–chemical damage
–bacterial damage
–UV radiation
–thermal damage
–dessication
Basic Skin Functions
• Temperature regulation
• Aids in excretion of urea
and uric acid
• Synthesizes vitamin D
• Sensory input
The Skin—Integumentary
System
• Epidermis—outer five
layers—avascular
• Melanin—pigment
responsible for reducing skin
damage from UV
• Dermis—made up of dense
connective tissue, “hide”,
firmly connected to epidermal
layer. Thickness varies

• Hair—guard
head, eyes,
respiratory tract,
insulation
• Receptors
• Nails—scalelike modification
of epidermis;
transparent

• eccrine—produce
sweat, found all over

found in axillary and
genital areas; milky
secretions; precise
function is unknown.

burns
–body loses fluid,
destroys entire
thickness of
skin, can lead to
infection.
Skin Disorders or Problems
• Blister
www.parktrust.org
–friction
between
epidermis and
dermis
causes
separation of
the layers.
