Chapter objectives:
Sensory
Receptors
Fig 18-1
Subdivided into
Internal chemoreceptors
monitor blood composition
(e.g. Na+, pH, pCO2 ) Fig 18-5
Olfaction
Taste
Organ responsible ??
Vision
Hearing
Equilibrium
Olfaction: Paired Olfactory Organs
Fig 18.8
Hearing & Equilibrium
2 other names??
Middle Ear
Function of the
2 muscles?
Bony labyrinth vs. membranous labyrinth
Perilymph vs. endolymph
Cochlea & vestibular complex
Inner Ear
Structure of cochlea: 2.5 turns of ducts
To cochlear
nucleus of
medulla
To inferior colliculus of
opposite side of midbrain
To thalamus
To auditory cortex
Vestibular Complex:
Semicircular canals with ampullae (mutually
perpendicular)
Saccule and utricle (= fill up vestibule)
Two Receptor Organs: Maculae of
Vestibule (or: macula of saccule plus
macula of utricle)
Cristae ampullaris
(how many?)
Vision: Eyeball +
Accessory Structures
Palpebrae = Eyelid
Continuation of skin
Eyelashes
2 oblique
Innervation?
The Three Tunics:
1) Fibrous Tunic (tough outer layer)
sclera - white part of fibrous tunic
cornea - transparent avascular anterior part
limbus - boundary between the above
Optic nerve
fu?
Eye Fundus: clinical significance ?
Visual Pathway
Optic chiasma - optic nerves partially
cross (right side of the field of each
eye combining and going to the
lateral geniculate on the right, those
from the left to the left)
Accessory Structures
Excretory glands (?)
?
?
Epidermis
Type of Epithelium?
_vascular
Different layers
(=strata)
4 layers in
thin skin
5 layers in
thick skin
Cell types:
Stratum Germinativum
Stem cells (basal cells)
Melanocytes
Merkel cells (touch receptors in hairless skin only)
= stratum
Stratum
basale
germinativum
Innermost,
single layer
Stratum Spinosum
Stem cell daughter cells (some can still divide)
Melanocytes & Langerhans cells
Establishment of Desmosomes
Stratum
spinosum
Several cells
thick
Stratum Granulosum
Cells displaced from stratum spinosum Keratinocytes
Production of keratohyalin and keratin fibers
Cells start to die. Dehydration leaves interlocked layers of
keratin, keratohyalin & PL membranes
Stratum
granulosum
Stratum Lucidum
In palms of hands and soles of feet
Cells do not stain well clear (lucid) looking
Stratum
lucidum
Many layers of flattened, dead cells, filled with keratin
Continually shed in sheaths
Water-resistant but not water proof ( insensible
perspiration)
Relatively dry - advantage?
Keratinization occurs everywhere except for anterior
surface of eye
Stratum Corneum
Stratum
15-30 layers corneum
(much thicker
in thick skin)
Thin vs. Thick Skin
Refers to epidermis
Average 0.08 mm Up to 6 x thicker
Rest of body Where??
Contour of skin surface follows pattern of
epidermal ridges. Advantage ??
Unique fingerprints
Skin Color
depends on 3 pigments
Hemoglobin (dermal blood supply)
Reddish tones
Pale, due to?
Bluish (=?), due to?
Melanin
Produced by melanocytes of stratum basale
Carotene
Obtained from plant foods
Melanocytes
Function ?
Number of
melanocytes same
in all people,
production levels
differ !
Dermis
Papillary layer
loose c.t.
Reticular layer
dense
irregular c.t.
Papillary Layer
Dermal papillae
project between
epidermal ridges.
Consist of
M Loose c.t. = _____
Capillaries
Tactile receptors
Reticular Layer
Consist of
______________ c.t.
+ ??
Pacinian corpuscule
(deep pressure)
Hypodermis
2 other names ?
Indistinct boundary (c.t.
fibers interwoven)
Made up of
Loose c.t. + lots of . . .
Function
Stabilization of skin while
allowing for independent
movement
Clinical Brief:
Wrinkles
Stretch marks
(lineae albicantes)
Decubitus
Transdermal medication
Advantage and disadvantage?
Examples?
Hypodermic needles
Lines of
cleavage
Accessory Structures: Hair Follicles & Hair
Function ?
Hair color
Growth cycle
Skin Glands: 1) Sebaceous Glands
Holocrine
Sebum discharged into hair follicles
(lubrication & bactericidal)
excessive shampooing leads to dry & brittle hair
Sebaceous follicles,
= Large sebaceous
glands, discharge
directly to epidermis
Where ?
Folliculitis; furuncle
(boil); acne
2) Apocrine Sweat Glands
Have merocrine secretion!!
Empty into hair follicle
Location: armpits, groin, nipples
Viscous, cloudy secretion good nutrient
source for bacteria (odor !!)
Secretion may contain Pheromones
Secretion begins at puberty and is stimulated
during emotional distress (cold sweat)
3) Merocrine Sweat Glands
Empty directly onto skin surface
Location: most all over body (esp.
abundant on palms & soles: ~ 500/cm2)
Clear, watery secretion (99% H2O; rest
NaCl + some waste products)
Sensible perspiration; Function: ?
For purpose of completion:
Other integumentary Glands:
