BIOL 252 1st EditionExam # 2 Study Guide Lectures: 8 - 15The Integumentary SystemStructure and Function- Biological harm: keeps microbes and pathogens out- Chemical harm: waterproofing (helps us retain water or absorbing too much)- Physical harm: abrasions - Vitamin D synthesis - Sensory reception (pain, heat, movement, pressure, light touch)- Thermoregulation (involves 3 layers of skin)- Communication (facial muscles, skin color changes)Epidermis- Keratinocytes and stem cells (make keratin)- Melanocytes-protect against UV light (causes DNA mutations)- Tactile cells-sensory receptor for touch- Dendritic cellso Fight off microbes and bacteria for immune systemo First line of defense for body after the skin (so 2nd line of defense)o Signals to rest of immune system- Epidermis = keratinized stratified squamous epitheliumo Stratum basale: bottom-most Stem cells, melanocytes, tactile cellso Stratum spinosum = cells adhere (desmosomes-strong mechanical linkages) Deepest can divide Produce keratin Dendritic cells present o Stratum granulosum = keratohyaline granules Keratin binding proteins Lamellar granules Waterproof skin Start to lose organelles, cells begin to die o Stratum corneum = cells are dead and continually exfoliate o Which cells least likely to become skin cancer? Melanocytes, stratum basale, spinosum = naturally dividing cells Stratum granulosum – LEAST likely Skin Disorders (cancers of epidermis)- Basal cell carcinomao Most commono Least dangerouso Stratum basaleo Carcinoma = epithelial cancer- Squamous cell carcinomao Arises within stratum spinosumo Metastasizes (spreads) Leaves tissue of origin and can travel to other places – to lymph nodes Can be lethalo Malignant melanoma Rare but deadly – fatal Metastasizes readilyDermis- Superficial: papillary layero Areolar connective tissueo Forms papillae, dense w/ nerve endings and capillaries- Deep: reticular layero Dense irregular connective tissueo Contains larger blood vesselso Adipocyteso Comprises most of dermiso Leather- Why do we have fingerprints? To gripHypodermis- Last layer of skin- Fat layer at the bottom- Structureo Primarily adiposeo Rich in blood vessels and nerves- Functiono Fat (energy storage)o Thermal insulationo Communication- Health reflected by amount of fat you have Skin Coloration- Which molecule does not contribute to normal color of skin?o Hemoglobin Ranges from red to purple/blue Oxygenated = red; deoxygenated = blue Abnormal colors in skin- Cyanosis: poorly oxygenated hemoglobin- Pallor: yellow/green/pale skin resulting from poor blood supply- Erythema: abnormal reddening of skin (overheating, stress, burns,rashes)- Jaundice: yellowing due to buildup of bilirubin- Hematoma: bruise; a mass of clotted bloodo Melanin Produced by melanocytes Distributes on external face of keratinocytes Breaks down more rapidly in lighter skin tones Abnormal colors in skin- Albinism: lack of melanin; genetic Lots of melanin where strong UV light is (equator)o Keratin Does not contribute to skin color Waterproofs skin, gives abrasion resistanceo Carotene Normal pigment found in plants Carotenemia: carotene is normal in small amount but may accumulate in stratum corneum Bone TissueFunctions of the Skeleton- Protection- Support- Movement- Electrolyte balance- Blood formationHistology of Osseous Tissue- Osteogenic cello Multipotential stem cell- Osteoblasto Secretes bone matrixo Blast = in developmental stageo Complete process of differentiation to become an osteocyte- Osteocyteo Lives completely surrounded by the matrix it produceso Lacunae: packet w/in bone matrix where osteocytes liveo Interconnect themselves w/ dendrites in canaliculi (channels)o Gap junctions allow diffusion and passing along of nutrients- Osteoclasto Break down bone matrixo Lives on bone surfaces (external or internal) o Develop from macrophage-like cells Bone Matrix- Made of fibers and ground substance- Fibers are proteins- Ground substance is the fluid component of extracellular matrixo Interstitial- In boneo Fibers are collagen (touch, resists stretching)o Ground substance (fluid is essentially gone) Minerals precipitated out of solution Most is calcium (hydroxyapatite – calcium phosphate salt = 85% of inorganic matrix)- Bone in vinegaro Vinegar = acetic acido Acetic acid + calcium phosphate solubilizes the salto Illustrates that if you extract mineral component of bone, properties of the bone remain the same Flexibility comes from collagen Stiffness comes from hydroxyapatite Just removing the stiffness - Case: 5 year old girl is brought to clinic and legs bend under weighto What could explain this condition at tissue level and what might be the cause of tissue abnormality? Caused by: - Dietary deficiency of calcium- Vitamin D deficiency- Pathologieso Osteogenesis imperfecta: excessively brittle bones resulting from improperly formed collagen Long Bone Structure-- Epiphysis, diaphysis (shaft), epiphysis- Epiphyseal line: once were epiphyseal plates (site of bone growth)- Spongy bone: has pockets, made of bone matrixo Spaces not lacunaeo At the ends of bone- Compact bone: dense, heavier than spongy boneo All around edges- Nutrient forameno Provide vascular and nervous supply- Bone marrowo Ad adults, most is classified as yellowo Yellow bone marrow Made primarily of adipose tissue (most of bone marrow throughout body)o Red bone marrow Found in more select region of bones- Axial skeleton- More proximal parts of long bones- Can replace yellow bone marrowo Periosteum Connective tissue wraps around outside of bone If need to tear down bone matrix – use osteoclast If need to build bone matrix – use osteoblasto Endosteum Periosteum on inside Wherever you have bone marrow coming in contact w/ bone surface, have endosteum Bone is never in contact w/ marrow Osteoclast/blasts presento Articular cartilage Where bone articulates w/ another boneStructure of Flat Bone- No cartilaginous joints, have sutures- Thickness of bone is like a sandwich- On outside and inside = outer/inner compact bone- Middle/filling = spongy boneo In space of spongy bone = bone marrowo Trabeculae: connecting roads that make up solid part of boneo Why do we need spongy bone? Lighter  FlexibilityHistology of Compact Bone-
