Integumentary System • Structure: • Epidermis: • Stratum corneum: dead cells, mostly keratin. • Stratum lucidum: dead keratyoncytes; not present in all the skin. • Stratum granulosum: • Lamelated granules (waterproofing) • Keratohyaline granules. • Stratum spinosum: prekeratin. • Stratum basale • Dermis • Papilar layer • Reticular layer • Function • Protection • Insulation • Chemical damage • Bacterial invasion • Dehydration • Temperature regulation • Secretory • Urea, salts, water • Synthesis of vitamin D • Sensory
Cells in the Epidermis • Keratynocytes • Produce keratin • Melanocytes • Produce melanin pigment • Langerham’s cells • Immunity • Merkel cells • Touch receptors
Cells in the Dermis • Meissner’s corpuscles • Papillary layer (areolar conective tissue): pain and touch receptor. • Paccinian corpuscles • Reticular layer (dense irregular): pressure receptor.

Accesory organs of the skin • Nails • Hair • Hair • Follicle • Arrector pilli muscle • Cutaneous glands • Sebaceous: skin moisture. • Sweat • Ecrine (merocrine sweat glands) temperature regulation through perspiration. Appocrine:axillary and genital area (fats, water, salts, urea): pheromones?
