1. Basic anatomy and physiology of the skin
2. Bathing with dignity for caregivers.
3. Safe patient handling: lifting

Using one of these three modules create a case study .The components of the case study must include the following

1. learning objective of the case study.
2.Medical history of the patient .
3. Social history of the patient.
4. Objective data.
5.Subjective data.
6. Identify patient problems.

Develop four patient questions for your peers related to case study.

ANATOMY OF SKIN

INTRODUCTION

Skin is also know as Cutaneous membrane or Integument,covers the external surface of the body.It is the largest organ of the body .

TYPES

HIRSUTE - Thin,hairyskin which covers the greater part of the body
GLABROUS - Which covers the surface of the pal

LAYERS OF SKIN

EPIDERMIS	DERMIS
Superficial layer made up of epithelia	Deeper layer made up of connective tissue

STRUCTURE OF THE SKIN

EPIDERMIS- It is the superficial layer of the skin which composed of epithelial tissue.
DERMIS- It is the deep layer of the skin which primarily composed of connective tissue.
SUBCUTANEOUS LAYER - It consist of areolar and adipose tissue,fatstorage,area for blood vessel passage and an area of pressure sensing nerve ending.

LATERS OF EPIDERMIS

STRATUM BASALE(deepest single layer of epidermis)
STRATUM SPINOSUM ( provide strength and flexibility to the skin)
STRATUM GRANULOSM(contain dark staining keratohyalin granules)
STRATUM LUCIDUM(present only in figertipd palms and soles of the feet)
STRATUM CORNEUM(25-30 layers of flat dead cell filled with keratin and surrounded by lipids)

GLANDS OF SKIN

A) Sebaceous(oil) gland

B)Sudoriferous(sweat)gland

C)Ceruminus(wax)gland

D)Mammary(milk)gland

PHYSIOLOGY OF SKIN

PROTECTION
THERMOREGULATION
VITAMIN D SYNTHESIS
EXCRETION AND ABSORPTION
CUTANEOUS SENSATION

PROTECTION

Pysical,chemical and biological barriers
Prevents bacterial invasion
Lipids released retard evaporation
Pigment protects somewhat against UV Rays
Langerhans cells alert immune system

THERMOREGULATION

Perspiration and its Evaporation
Lower and Raise the body temprature as needed

VITAMIN D SYNTHESIS

Activation of a precursor molecule in the skin by UV light
Enzymes in the liver and kidney modify the activated molecule to produce calcitriol,the most active form of vitamin D.

EXCREATION AND ABSORPTION

EXCREATION	ABSORPTION
400 ml of water per day	Water soluble-Negligible
Small amount Nacl	Lipid soluble Vitamins-A,D,E,K
CO2	Organic solvents
Ammonia	Heavy Metals
Urea	Topical medicines

CUTANEOUS SENSATIONS

Touch
Pressure
Vibration
Tickle
Heat and Cold
Pain and Itch(Noxious)

QUESTION 1 A major theme in human anatomy and physiology is the complementarity of structure and function, meaning that the structure of an organ, for example, will reflect that organ’s ability to function optimally, and vice versa. Please discuss in detail how the structure of the cell membrane and its unique chemistry are the factors that determine the selectivity of the membrane. Be specific and be detailed. A 2 or 3 sentence response will not be considered an adequate response.

VENTILATION/RESPIRATION: ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1) Using Fick's law, explain why it is harder to breathe at the top of Mount Everest. 2) Using Fick's law, justify why the body surface of a Turbellaria makes a good respiratory surface for the worm. 3) Recall the gills seen in your crayfish, squid, and clam dissections. Was that tissue usually described as "feathery" or were they "dense" structures? From what you know of Fick's law, why does the characterization you use make sense?...
