Introduction to the Human Body
Skin
I.
Facts about skin
A. Skin, AKA the cutaneous membrane
1. Largest organ in the body
2. Surface Area ≈ 2 m2
3. Weight ≈ 10 lbs
B. Very thin: only 0.5 – 4 mm thick
C. Dermatology
Layers
II. Skin
layers
A. Epidermis
B. Dermis
C. Subcutaneous Layer
Epidermis
III.Epidermis
A. Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
B. 4 cell types:
1. Keratinocytes – 90% of epidermal cells; 4-5 layers
a.
Keratin
b.
Lamellar granules
2. Melanocytes – 8% of epidermal cells
a.
Melanin
b.
Transfers melanin to keratinocytes
3. Langerhans cells
4. Merkel cells (disk)
Epidermis
C.Structure of epidermis
1. Most epidermis has four strata (layers) – Thin skin
a.
Stratum basale –cuboidal or columnar keratinocytes
b.
Stratum spinosum – layers of keratinocytes with desmosomes
c.
Stratum granulosum – layers of flat keratinocytes
d.
Thin stratum corneum – 25-30 layers
SEM of Keratinocytes
Epidermis
2.Where friction is greatest the skin has five layers
a.
Stratum basale
b.
Stratum spinosum
c.
Stratum granulosum
d.
Stratum lucidum – 3-5 layers of clear, dead keratinocytes
e.
Thick stratum corneum
3.Keratinization
Layers of Skin Cells
Review of the Epidermis
•
How is thick skin different from thin skin?
•
How is keratinization related to the
structure of the epidermis?
•
Why are basal cells so important to the
skin?
•
Why is the epidermis waterproof?
Warm Up #1
More non-biological analogies:
 Keratin
 Lamellar granules
 Stratum basale
 Stratum granulosum
 Keratinization
 Merkel cells
 Langerhans cells
Skin Structure: Dermis
IV.Dermis
A. Mainly CT w/ collagen and elastin fibers
B. 2 layers:
1. Stratum papillerosum (papillary layer)
a.
Corpuscles of touch (Meissner corpuscles)
b.
Free nerve endings
Skin Structure: Dermis, cont.
2.Stratum reticulosum (reticular layer)
a.
Adipocytes, hair follicles, nerves, oil and sweat glands
b.
Striae
Subcutaneous Layer
V. Subcutaneous
layer
A. Also called the hypodermis or SubQ layer
B. Composed of areolar CT and adipose
C. Contains lamellated corpuscles (Pacinian
corpuscles)
