Anatomy and Physiology Ch. 3/4
Regeneration and fibrosis effect permanent repair
- Surface of epithelium begins to regenerate, it makes it's way across the granulation tissue beneath the scab - Scab detaches - Fully regenerated surface with scar or without depending on severity of wound.
describe what a merkel cell is and its importance.
- associated with sensory nerve endings and serve as touch receptors. - ***
Basal cell carcinoma
- least malignant - most common type - arises from stratum basale
Squamous cell carcinoma
- metastasizes to lymph nodes if not removed - early removal allows a good chance of cure - believed to be sun-induced - arises from stratum spinosum
malignant melanoma
- most deadly of skin cancers - cancer melanocytes - metastasizes rapidly to lymph and blood vessels. - detection uses ABCD rule.
Distinguish between intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid.
intracellular fluid - fluid inside the cell interstitial (extracellular) - the fluid outside the cell containing hormones, amino acids, sugar, vitamins, salts, and neurotransmitters (the soup).
Serous: general characteristics and location
line body cavities that are closed to the exterior Simple Squamous Epithelium + Areolar Connective tissue 2 layers: • Parietal layer- Outer • Visceral layer- Inner Types: • Pleural- Surrounds Lungs • Pericardium- Surrounds Heart • Peritoneal- Surrounds some abdominal organs
synoval: general characteristics and location
line fibrous capsules surrounding joints → provide a smooth surfaces and lubricate joints • Cushions organs moving against each other during muscle activity (tendons across bones)
Mucous: general characteristics and location
lines all body cavities that open to the exterior Adapted for absorption or secretion i.e. Digestive and respiratory
apocrine glands
located mainly in the armpits, genital area, and around the nipples. (Empty into hair follicles) • The sweat produced by the apocrine glands contains proteins, fats, and other substances that result in a thicker and stickier sweat → broken down by the bacteria on the surface of the skin → odor to arise.
eccrine sweat gland
located over almost the entire body (proper body temp)
Endocytosis (pinocytosis and phagocytosis)
movement of materials into the cell Pinocytosis: cell drinking Phagocytosis: cell eating
Exocytosis (vesicles)
movement of materials outside the cell. (hormones, mucous, waste products). the product to be released is first "packaged" into a small membranous sac called a vesicle.
malignant
not encapsulated, grow fast and kill host
Stratum Lucidum
only in palms of hands and feet.
blood vessels
play a role in body temperature regulation
Stratum Granulosum
produces keratin
facilitated diffusion
provides passage for certain needed substances (notably glucose) that are both lipid-insoluble and too large to pass through the membrane pores. the process of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active transport) of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.
Fibrosis
repair by dense connective tissue known as scar tissue. (for severe deep wounds)
Regeneration
replacement of destroyed tissue by the same kind of cells. (just for small cuts)
hypodermis
Subcutaneous tissue is deep to dermis - Not technically part of the skin - Anchors skin to underlying organs (muscles) - Composed mostly of adipose tissue (stored energy) • New skin is manufactured to repair deep cuts. • cite of hair growth
Describe the components of the cell membrane and how the structure is important with regulating substances in and out of the cell.
The cell membrane being selectively permeable regulates the entry and exit of molecules into and out of the cell. The plasma membrane has a phospholipid bilayer because of the polar and nonpolar parts of the phospholipid. Functions: - Physical isolation - Regulation of exchange with the environment - Sensitivity to the environment - Structural support Tight junctions - Impermeable - Ex: small intestines Desmosomes - Anchors - Ex: skin Gap junctions - Communication - Ex: heart, embryonic cells
dermis
Two Layers: 1. Papillary layer (upper dermal region) 2. Reticular layer (deepest skin layer) Overall Structure: - collagen and elastic fibers located throughout the dermis. *Collagen fibers give skin its toughness *Elastic fibers give skin elasticity - blood vessels play a role in body temperature regulation
Sodium-Potassium Pump
active transport simultaneously carries sodium ions (Na+) out of and potassium ions (K+) into the cell.
List the different types of skin cancers.
basal cell, squamous cell, melanoma
Receptor mediated endocytosis
coated vesicles? the main cellular mechanism for taking up specific target molecules. receptor proteins on the plasma membrane mind only with certain substances.
osmosis
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Cutaneous: general characteristics and location
• Covers body Surface (skin) - Stratified Squamous Epithelium + areolar connective tissue reinforced by underlying dense connective tissue • Skin derivatives (associative organs) - Sweat glands - Oil glands - Hair - Nails
Granulation tissue forms
- Delicate pink tissue composed of new capillaries grow into damage area - Very fragile; why a scab bleeds easily - Contains phagocytes that eventually dispose of clot and connective tissue cells of collagen fibers (scar tissue) to permanently bridge the gap
inflammation
- Injured tissues/cells release inflammatory chemicals making capillaries very permeable - Fluid rich in clotting proteins to seep into injured area from blood stream. - Constructs blood clot holds walls of injured area together. Preventing bacteria from spreading - Where clot is exposed to air it hardens forming a scab.
Identify the major functions of the Integumentary system
-Protects deeper tissues from • Mechanical damage (bumps) • Chemical damage (acids and bases) • Bacterial damage • Ultraviolet radiation (damaging effects of sunlight) • Thermal (heat or cold) damage • Desiccation (drying out) -Aids in body heat loss or heat retention -Aids in excretion of urea and uric acid -synthesizes vitamin D
Describe the 3 components of the Cell Theory
1. All living things are made of cells 2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things 3. New cells are produced from existing cells.

Explain what is meant by a "Generalized Cell". Identify and explain the importance of the three main regions that all cell have in common.
All cells do have the same basic parts, and there are certain functions common to all cells. Generalized cells demonstrate these many typical features. In general, all cells have three main regions or parts --- a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a plasma membrane. *nucleus - control center * *
Distinguish between the 3 types of burns. Understand the "Rule of 9's" 1,2,3 dehydration, and infection.
First-degree burns: • Only epidermis is damaged • Skin is red and swollen Second-degree burns: • Epidermis and upper dermis are damaged • Skin is red with blisters Third-degree burns: • Destroy entire thickness of skin. • Burned areas appear blanched (gray-white) due to nerve endings being destroyed. Burns are considered critical if.... 1. Over 25% of the body has 2nd degree burns 2. Over 10% of the body has 3rd degree burns 3. There are 3rd degree burns on the face, hands, or feet
Describe the structure of hair and nails.
Hair • Produced by hair follicle • Consists of keratinized epithelial cells • Bulk of shaft is keratinized dead protein
Epidermis
Made up of five layers: 1. Stratum Basale (deepest) 2. Stratum spinosum 3. Straum granulosum 4. Stratum Corneum (outermost) 30 cell layers thick 5. Stratum Lucidum (hairless/thick) Contains keratinocytes, melanocytes, epidermal dendritic cells, merkel cells
Describe the factors that contribute to skin color.
Melanin: • Yellow-brown or black pigment • Produced by melanocytes • Amount of melanin produced depends upon genetics and exposure to sunlight WHY?? → UV rays can damage DNA in skin cells...melanin is produced in melanosomes, taken up by keratinocytes & forms a pigmented umbrella to shield deeper cells.
Distinguish between sebaceous (oil) and sudoriferous (sweat) glands. Describe their secretions.
Oil (sebaceous) glands: • Produce oil (sebum) - Lubricant for skin - Prevents brittle hair - Kills bacteria • Most have ducts that empty into hair follicles; others open directly onto skin surface • Glands are activated at puberty Sweat (sudoriferous) glands: • Two types: - Eccrine glands - Apocrine glands
See fig. 3.17 and explain how epithelial tissue is classified based on cell layers and shape.
One layer: simple epithelial tissues - squamous: diffusion and secretion in serous membranes - cuboidal: secretion and absorption; ciliated types propel mucus or reproductive cells. - columnar: secretion and absorption; ciliated types propel mucus or reproductive cells. - transitional More than one layer: stratified epithelial tissues - squamous: protection - cuboidal: Protection; these tissue types are rare in humans - columnar: Protection; these tissue types are rare in humans - transitional: protection; stretching to accommodate distension of urinary structures.
Epithelial
Structure: Functions: - protection - secretion - filtration - absorption
Connective
Structure: Functions: - protection - support - binding structures
nervous
Structure: Neurons: - receive and conduct electrochemical impulses Neuroglia: - supportive cells
Stratum Basale
simple cuboidal layer. deepest. helps trigger cell production.
Benign
surrounded by capsule, grow slowly and seldom kill host
filtration
the process by which water and solutes are forced through a membrane (or capillary wall) by fluid, or hydrostatic pressure.
Simple diffusion
the unassisted diffusion of solutes through the plasma membrane (or any selectively permeable membrane). Solutes transported this way are either lipid-soluble or able to pass through the membrane pores.
