ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY ● Dead cells converted into
REVIEWER PROTEINS
THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM STRATUM LUCIDUM
● CORNIFIED cells
Main functions ● ONE OR TWO flat layer of cell
● Protection
● Sensation STRATUM GRANULOSUM
● Thermoregulation ● GRANULES
● Vitamin D protection ● 2-3 layers of thick cells
● Secretion ● VERY ACTIVE in keratinization
3 LAYERS OF THE SKIN STRATUM SPINOSUM
1. Epidermis ● MANY layers of keratinocytes
2. Dermis ● DESMOSOMES found
3. Hypodermis
STRATUM BASALE
EPIDERMIS ● PRODUCES new epidermal cells
- OUTERMOST layer ● MELANOCYTES
- Keratinization
MELANOCYTES - cells that make protein
LAYERS OF EPIDERMIS called MELANIN
- Stratum Corneum MELANIN- pigment that results in diff.
- Stratum Lucidum skin colors
- Stratum Granulosum
- Stratum Spinosum
- Stratum Basale
STRATUM CORNEUM
● OUTER TOP LAYER of epidermis

DERMIS ACCESSORY ORGANS
- Responsible for the structural
integrity of the integumentary HAIR
system ● Hair shaft - visible portion of hair
- Sweat glands, sensory receptors, ● Hair follicle - point where hair
hair follicles, blood vessels and grows
nerves is in the DERMIS
PARTS OF THE HAIR
2 PROTEINS OF THE DERMIS ● Medula - central point of the hair
● ELASTIN - provides ● Cortex - principal portion of the
elasticity to the skin hair
● COLLAGEN - provides ● Cuticle - outer layer of hair shaft
strength and flexibility
2 GENERAL LAYERS OF THE DERMIS
● PAPILLARY - more LOOSE
connective tissue/smooth
● RETICULAR - more DENSE
connective tissue
HYPODERMIS
● Also known as subcutaneous
layer/tissue
● Has adipose tissue
