  • CHAPTER 4 the Integumentary System
    CHAPTER 4 The Integumentary System LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this chapter, you should be able to: • Name the two layers of the skin. • Name the accessory structures of the integumentary system. • Build and pronounce medical terms of the integumentary system. • Name the disorders and treatments relating to the integumentary system. • Name the major classifi cations of pharmacologic agents used to treat skin disorders. • Analyze and defi ne the new terms introduced in this chapter. • Interpret abbreviations associated with the integumentary system. 53 54 PART TWO • BODY SYSTEMS Introduction The largest organ of the body is the skin. The skin covers the entire body—more than 20 square feet on average—and weighs about 24 pounds. It is part of the integumentary system, which also includes the accessory structures: hair, nails, and sebaceous (oil) and sudoriferous (sweat) glands. Integumentum is Latin for “covering” or “shelter.” The physician who specializes in the diag- nosis and treatment of skin disorders is called a dermatologist (dermat/o being one of the com- bining forms for skin). Coupling the root dermat/o with the previously learned suffi x -logy gives us the term dermatology , which is the term for the specialty practice that deals with the skin. Word Elements The major word elements that relate to the integumentary system consist of various anatomical components, accessory structures, colors of the skin, and abnormal conditions.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

  • Squamous Epithelium Are Thin, Which Allows for the Rapid Passage of Substances Through Them
    Chapter 2 1st Prof. Anatomy Arsalan (Lecturer Department of Pharmacy University of Peshawar) Tissue is an aggregation of similar cells and their products that perform same function. There are four principal types of tissues in the body: ❑ epithelial tissue: covers body surfaces, lines body cavities and ducts and forms glands ❑ connective tissue: binds, supports, and protects body parts ❑ muscle tissue: produce body and organ movements ❑ nervous tissue: initiates and transmits nerve impulses from one body part to another • Epithelial tissues cover body and organ surfaces, line body cavities and lumina and forms various glands • Derived from endoderm ,ectoderm, and mesoderm • composed of one or more layers of closely packed cells • Perform diverse functions of protection, absorption, excretion and secretion. Highly cellular with low extracellular matrix Polar – has an apical surface exposed to external environment or body cavity, basal layer attached to underlying connective tissue by basement membrane and lateral surfaces attached to each other by intercellular junctions Innervated Avascular – almost all epithelia are devoid of blood vessels, obtain nutrients by diffusion High regeneration capacity Protection: Selective permeability: in GIT facilitate absorption, in kidney facilitate filtration, in lungs facilitate diffusion. Secretions: glandular epithelium form linings of various glands, involved in secretions. Sensations: contain some nerve endings to detect changes in the external environment at their surface Epithelium rests on connective tissue. Between the epithelium and connective tissue is present the basement membrane which is extracellular matrix made up of protein fibers and carbohydrates. Basement membrane attach epithelium to connective tissue and also regulate movement of material between epithelium and connective tissue Epithelial cells are bound together by specialized connections in the plasma membranes called intercellular junctions .

  • Physiology of Sweat Gland Function: the Roles of Sweating and Sweat Composition in Human Health Lindsay B
    COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW Physiology of sweat gland function: The roles of sweating and sweat composition in human health Lindsay B. Baker Gatorade Sports Science Institute, PepsiCo R&D Physiology and Life Sciences, Barrington, IL, USA ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY The purpose of this comprehensive review is to: 1) review the physiology of sweat gland function Received 30 April 2019 and mechanisms determining the amount and composition of sweat excreted onto the skin Revised 6 June 2019 surface; 2) provide an overview of the well-established thermoregulatory functions and adaptive Accepted 8 June 2019 responses of the sweat gland; and 3) discuss the state of evidence for potential non-thermo- KEYWORDS regulatory roles of sweat in the maintenance and/or perturbation of human health. The role of Chloride; potassium; sauna; sweating to eliminate waste products and toxicants seems to be minor compared with other sodium; sweat biomarkers; avenues of excretion via the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract; as eccrine glands do not adapt to thermoregulation increase excretion rates either via concentrating sweat or increasing overall sweating rate. Studies suggesting a larger role of sweat glands in clearing waste products or toxicants from the body may be an artifact of methodological issues rather than evidence for selective transport. Furthermore, unlike the renal system, it seems that sweat glands do not conserve water loss or concentrate sweat fluid through vasopressin-mediated water reabsorption. Individuals with high NaCl concentrations in sweat (e.g. cystic fibrosis) have an increased risk of NaCl imbalances during prolonged periods of heavy sweating; however, sweat-induced deficiencies appear to be of minimal risk for trace minerals and vitamins.
