Integumentary System
Ch. 5 Part 2
Skin Physiology
• Vitamin D Deficiency– Skin needs UV rays to initiate production of
vitamin D– Vitamin D is turned into calcitrol which helps in
absorption of calcium in intestines– Lack of vitamin D – leads to rickets or
osteomalacia
Skin Physiology
• Regulates body temperature– Done with sweat glands (sudoriferous)– Water/salt comes to surface– As water evaporates, heat is taken away with the
water– Eccrine – function when hot– Apocrine – function during stressful times
Skin Physiology
• Oil Glands (sebaceous)– Released onto shaft of hair– Goes to surface of skin to:• Protect, lubricate, and waterproof skin
• Problem– Drainage becomes blocked – pimples– Production of sebum (oil) is controlled by sex
hormones
Skin Physiology
• Ceruminous (wax) glands– Secrete wax into ear canal– Functions:• Insect repellant• Keeps eardrum flexible
– Problem• Excess ear wax can interfere with hearing
Hair
Hair and Hormones
• Hisutism– Higher than normal levels of androgen (hormone)
cause excessive hair on lip, chin, chest, thighs, abdomen
• Male-pattern baldness– Androgen inhibits hair growth for genetically
predisposed males
Skin Wound Healing
• Epidermal Wound Healing– near the surface (abrasion – scrape), 1st/2nd degree
burns– Detached, basal cells migrate till they meet each
other– Cell division fills in the space– No bleeding– Epidermal growth factor (EGF) – protein hormone
that stimulates growth of dermal cells and fibroblasts
Epidermal Wound Healing
Skin Wound Healing
• Dermal (deep) Wound Healing• 4 phases– Inflammatory phase– Migratory phase– Proliferative phase– Maturation phase
• Scar formation
DWH - Phases
• Inflammatory– clot forms (platelets)– WBC arrive for defense
• Migratory– clot becomes a scab by fibroblast production– Epithelial cells begin to regrow
DWH - Phases
• Proliferative– Epithelial cells grow beneath scab– Collagen fibers deposited– Tissue is reformed
• Maturation– Sloughing off of scab– Collagen fibers organize
DWH – What would I see between these 2 phases?
