The tissue: is a group of cells which

perform a specific function

There are four basic tissues:

Epidermis

Thickness is increased:

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

The epidermis is generally thin except in :
? The palms of the hand.
? The soles of the feet.

Why?

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

To protect these parts and withstand friction,
wear and tear that occurs in these regions.

Dermis

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


papillary dermis

reticular dermis

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

a. Cellular
Fibroblasts (synthesize collagen, elastin, and reticulin),

histiocytes, endothelial cells, perivascular macrophages and

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

dendritic cells, mast cells, smooth muscle, and cells of peripheral

nerves
b. Fibrous
Collagen & reticulin - provide tensile strength

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Elastic fibers- provide for restoration of shape after a deformation
c. Ground substance
glycosaminoglycans: hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and

dermatan sulfate.

Hypodermis

This layer contains adipose tissue and serves to attach the dermis to its underlying tissues.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


Lines of cleavage

? The collagen fibers, arranged in parallel rows,

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

called:

Lines of cleavage (langer's lines):

? The direction of the rows of collagen fibers in the

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


dermis:

It runs

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

?Longitudinally in the limbs.

?Circumferentially in the neck and the trunk.
Lines of cleavage

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

These lines are important
to determine the direction
for an incision (cut) during
a surgery to avoid obvious
scars.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? A surgical incision along or between these lines
causes the minimum disruption of collagen so that the
wound heals with a small scar.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Conversely, an incision made across the rows of
collagen makes a disruption resulting in the massive
production of fresh collagen and the formation of a
broad scar.

Skin creases

Folded skin over the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

joints.

Skin is thin and is

firmly adherent to

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

underlying structures.

Some variations in human skin color

Sub-Saharan African, Indian, Southern European, Northwest European

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Skin Color

? Due to Melanin, a pigment in the

epidermis and Carotene,

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


? Melanin is synthesized in cells called

Melanocytes (found in basal layer).

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Number of Melanocytes is essentially the

same in all races.

? The differences in skin color is due to the

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---


amount of pigment the melanocytes

produce.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Cyanotic

? Jaundice

? Erythema

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


? Pallor



--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


? Pigmentation levels usually increase with age.

- exception: premature graying

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Normal pigmentation may be altered by

genetic defects or by acquired diseases.

-Hyperpigmentation- age spots

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---


-Hypopigmentation- vitiligo,

albinism

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

External agents can also alter skin color.
? lightening agents
? carotene
? dyes
? Some internal compounds--such as the byproducts

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


of hemoglobin metabolism--may color the skin.

Skin Cancers


The appendages of the skin

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---


? Nails
? Hairs
? Sebaceous glands
? Sweat glands

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


Nails

A nail is a flat horny plate on

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

the dorsal surface of tips of

the fingers and toes

It has:

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


Root: proximal edge (part

embedded in skin)

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

body: exposed part & has a

free distal edge

Nail fold: folds of skin

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---


? Nail bed is very vascular causing

surround and overlap the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

pink color of the nail
? The germinative zone lies beneath

nail

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

the root& is responsible for growth
of nail


Hair

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


Cover whole surface of

the body except some
areas as lips, palms, soles,

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

some genital areas



Hair

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


Hair follicles: invaginations of the

epidermis into the dermis, the
hair grows out of these follicles

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

(hair shaft).

Hair bulb: the expanded extremity

of the follicle, concaved at the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

end (located deep in the dermis).

Hair papilla: a vascular connective

tissue that occupies the

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

concavity of the bulb.


Arrector Pilli muscle

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? A band of smooth muscle
connects the undersurface of the
follicle to the superficial part of
the dermis.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? It is innervated by sympathetic
nerve fibers.

? It is involuntary.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Arrector Pilli muscle

Functions:

?Its contraction causes the

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

hair to move into a more
vertical position.

? It compresses the
sebaceous gland and

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

causes it to extrude sebum.




--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Sebaceous glands

Function

It secrets sebum to oil

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


(lubricate) hair and

skin.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

Sebum

keeps the flexibility of

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---


the hair and oils the

epidermis around the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

mouth of the follicle.

Sebaceous cyst

It occurs because of the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

obstruction (blocking) of the
sebaceous duct.


Sweat glands

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


? long tubular glands with deep
coiled part.

? All over the body except red

Superficial fascia

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---
