Learn about the different types of membranes covering surfaces and organs, including epithelial and connective tissue membranes. Explore the functions and structures of skin layers, glands, and sensory structures within the integumentary system.
E N D
MEMBRANES • Cover surfaces, organs • Line body cavities • Protect, lubricate • Two categories • Epithelial tissue membranes • Connective tissue membrane
EPITHELIAL TISSUE MEMBRANES • Cutaneous • Skin (“dry”) • Mucous • E.T. & C.T. • “wet”; secretes mucus • Lines open cavities • Traps, lubricates, protects, secretes enzymes
EPITHELIAL TISSUE MEMBRANES continued • Serous • E.T. & C.T. • “wet”; secretes serous fluid; Lines closed cavities • Folds to form two layers • Parietal – lines wall of ventral body cavity • Visceral – covers organs • Serous fluid between layers (lubricant)
EPITHELIAL TISSUE MEMBRANES continued • Pleura • Line pleural cavities • Surround lungs • Pericardium • Surrounds the heart • Peritoneum • Lines abdominal cavity & covers organs
CONNECTIVE TISSUE MEMBRANE • Synovial • C.T. • Lines joint cavities (freely movable), bursae, tendon sheaths • Synovial fluid lubricates & provides nutrients
Integumentary - General • Organ System • Dermatology – Study of Skin Disorders
Integumentary - General • Largest organ by weight • Includes all 4 primary tissue types • Aids in excretion of waste products
Integumentary - Structure • Cutaneous Membrane (Dry) • 2 Layers: • Epidermis • Dermis (with deeper hypodermis) • Accessory Structures (glands, sensory structures, etc.)
