Describe the effects of aging on the Integumentary system. You may choose two components of this system or all the components. Elaborate your answer as much as possible with examples and pictures.
Qunesha Lee:SKIN: terms of volume of tissue, the skin is the largest organ of the body Two main layers: the outer epidermis and the inner dermis. Deep to the skin are the supporting tissues that include adipose tissue (fat) and connective tissue layers called fascia. There are differences in distribution of the subcutaneous fat in women and men. NAILS:From the protein keratin made from epidermal tissue located at the end of each finger and each toe are called "finger nails" and "toe nails" respectively. The structure we know of as the nail is divided into six specific parts - the root, nail bed, nail plate.
Theintegumentary system consist of skin, nails and hair.the integumentary system declines with aging causing the the epidermal cells to slow in reproduction. This causes thinner more frequent skin injuries, tearing, and infections. The speed of healing takes more than twice as long in the elderly.
Skin: *Protects the body's internal living tissues and organs *Protects against invasion by infectious organisms *Protects the body from dehydration *Protects the body against changes in temperature *Helps dispose of waste materials *Acts as a receptor for touch, pressure, pain, heat and cold *Stores water, fat, and vitamin D.
Nail:
*Nail Plate The hard part of the nail. Made of keratin. Protects the nail bed
*Free edge The very hardest part of the nail. The extension of the nail plate. Protects the fingertip.
*Matrix The only living part of the nail. Any damage to the matrix is irreparable. The matrix is where the nail grows from, and where new nail cells are formed.
*Nail Bed This lies below the nail plate. It contains the blood vessels and nerve endings. The nail bed supplies nutrients to the matrix.
*Nail Mantle The fold of skin in front of the cuticle. It protects the matrix.
*Lunula No real function. Creates the shape of the nail. The white colour indicates the transition stage of the nail from live to dead.
*Cuticle Protects the matrix. The cuticle is dead skin.
When you aged the skin becomes thinner, more fragile, and the protective subcutaneous fat layer is lost. There are cases that you sometimes people can not touch, apply pressure, vibration, to anything
HAIR & NAILS~!!!!!
Hair color change is probably one of the most obvious signs of aging. What causes hair color is a pigment also called melanin which is produced by hair follicles. With aging, the follicle produces less melanin.
Gray Hair IS a MAJOR SIGN of aging including baldness many signs occur at this targeted age of 30's - 40's
When nails start to age they become dull and brittle (spilt). Sometimes toe nails become hard thick and ingrown toenails start to occur. It occur through the natural nail plate and the nail bed it also has an discoloration of yellow or green
Andre Wash- Stem cell production declines with aging, causing the epidermal cells to slow in their reproduction. it causes thinner skin and which leads to skin injuries and infections. Healing takes more than twice as long in the elderly. Ability to lose heat decreases as the blood supply to the dermis is reduced. Elderly people lose alot of internal body hea. Cancers are more common in organs where stem cells divide to maintain epithelial cell populations there are 3 types of skin dermis,epidremis and hypodermis.-andre wash
Aging makes the skin weak.Integumentary system consist of skin. such as sweat glands and also nails and hair. The function of the skin is protection . Skin consists of epidermis and dermis.Epidermis consist keratincytes,melanocytes,merkel cells and langerhan cells. Epidermis layers:stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulasum,stratum lucidum, stratum corneum. Dermis: papillary layer and recticular layers. Skin color is due to a combination of three pigments: melanin,corotene and hemoglobin. Hair formed or keratinized cells- shaft and root. Nail Keratinized epidermal cells(fingers and toes)
The Integumentary system is an organ. The skin, nails, hair are just some of the things the Integumental system. The main function of the skin is protection. The skin consists of epidermis and dermis. Skin- Protects the body. Helps dispose of waste materials Acts as a receptor. Stores water, fat, and vitamin D. When you become older the skin becomes thinner, fragile, and the protective subcutaneous fat layer is lost. Hair- hair color change is probably one of the most obvious signs of aging. The hair color changes because s pigment also called melanin which is produced by hair follicles. With aging, the follicle produces less melanin. Gray or White Hair is a sign of aging including balding.
Example: Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith. He went balded and facial hair turned grey.
As we advance in years, our bodies inexorably change. The most visible changes of all occur in the integumentary system: our skin, hair, nails and glands. As a person ages, his skin and fat tissue become thinner and less elastic. His oil glands produce less oil, and he has fewer sweat glands. He produces less melanin, so his hair color fades to gray or white. His fingernails and toenails grow more slowly and may thicken. Older people have rougher, slacker, more transparent, wrinkled, fragile skin that bruises easily.
The most extensive organ system has the skin an accessory struture, including hair,nails,glands,and specialized nerve receptors for stumili.
SKIN: As person ages,his/her skin and fat tissue become thinner and less elastic. His/her oil glands produce less oil and he/she has fewer sweat gland. They produce less melanin, so his/her color fades to gray and white. Their toenails grow more slowly and may thicken.
The integumentary system is the first line of defense for the body. The skin covers the surface of the body, protecting it from invading organisms, chemicals, UV light, and water loss. Hair, nails, and oil glands also serve as protective barriers. In addition, the skin helps regulate body temperature via body hair and sweat glands. Because the skin is so important in protecting the body, thorough understanding of lesions, including burns that disrupt this protective function, is essential for medical assistants. Diagnostic testing including allergy testing and tuberculosis screening is performed through the integumentary system, as are therapeutic procedures such as injections and intravenous infusions. Understanding this system, its layers, and the contents of those layers can help you be more effective in your role as a medical assistant.
Functions of the Integumentary System Skin Structure Skin Color Skin Lesions Accessory Organs Skin Healing Skin and Aging
Stem cell production declines with aging, causing the epidermal cells to slow in their reproduction and, as a result, become larger and more irregular. This causes thinner, more translucent skin, meaning more frequent skin injuries, tearing, and infections. Coupling this with a combination of hormonal changes and alterations in lifestyle, the structure and chemical composition of many tissues will be affected. The speed of healing takes more than twice as long in the elderly as it does in a much younger person. For example, it takes an average of three to four weeks for a blister to heal completely in a person age 18-25. The same tissue repairs in a person age 65-75 can take six to eight weeks, increasing the risk of secondary infections.
The most visible changes of all occur in the integumentary system.The effect of aging makes the skin wrinkle,dry and for old people in the winter it makes their skin dry and itchy.It also makes older adults lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds because aging causes cumulative damage.
As one gets older the skin will begin to lose elasticity. Bruising and scaring will become much easier. The ability to lose heat decreases. The elderly have an incresed risk of skin cancer because they have less melanocytes. They sweat less causing the skin to be really dry.
this is the organ system that protects the body from damage. so as you get older it will start to weaken. it will also start to loose some pain receptor. i know this because i remember my grandma once saying that in her younger days when she use to cook the heat would be very hot to her but now as she got older she can withstand the heat a little more.
The Integumentary system. The most visible changes that can occur are skin, hair, nails, and associated glands. It is the most visible organ system and one of the most complexes. Diverse in both form and function from delicate eyelashes to the thick skin of the soles—the Integumentary system protects the body from the outside world and its many harmful substances. It utilizes the sun’s rays while at the same time shielding the body from their damaging effects. In addition, the system helps to regulate body temperature, serves as a minor excretory organ, and makes the inner body aware of its outer environment through sensory receptors. I know this because my mom one time, we went by car to the city of California ,and then when we came back my mom's face was burned by the sun and she was a little dark skin.
Stem cell production declines with aging, causing the epidermal cells to slow in their reproduction and, as a result, become larger and more irregular. This causes thinner, more translucent skin, meaning more frequent skin injuries, tearing, and infections.The loss of fat and collagen in the underlying tissues causes the integument to weaken, producing skin sagging and wrinkling. The dermis becomes thinner and less elastic as the fiber network decreases in size, causing the skin to weaken and becomes less resilient. This becomes more pronounced in areas exposed to the sun, which also contributes to a decreased ability to maintain body temperature causing the person to feel cold.
As a human ages, their skin and fat tissue become thinner and less elastic. Their oil glands produce less oil, and he has fewer sweat glands. They produces less melanin, so their hair color fades to gray or white. Their fingernails and toenails grow more slowly and may thicken.
There are 2 main layers of the skin: the outer epidermis and the inner dermis. The Deep layer of the skin are the supporting tissues which include adipose tissue (fat). The Connective tissue layer is called fascia.
The skin Protects the body's internal living tissues and organs and also protects the invasion of infectious organisms .
The Integumentary System consist of the nails,skin,and the hair,and this would affect the aging of a person because as you get older your skin basically goes through many changes, your hair turns a different color which is more popular to be gray, and your nails may turn colors also. To further explain some responsibilities is that the skin protects the internal organs, the nails protect the nail bed.
the integumentary system consist of skin, hair, nails, and associated glands. the effects of aging during the integumentary system is premature aging using hair and nails for example. *your hair began to turn gray and could began to fall out. *as for your nails they could also change colors such as a yellow-grayish color.
The effects of aging on the Integumentary system is nail , hair, and skinis that your nails turns yallow your hair turns gray and your skin get soft and rinkle.

The ability to lose heat decreases as the blood supply to the dermis is reduced, as well as a reduction in sweat gland activity. This combination makes the elderly less able to lose internal body heat. Overexertion or overexposure to warm temperatures can cause dangerously high body temperatures. In addition, extreme temperatures of either heat or cold can be harmful, and special protective precautions must be taken during these times.

The matrix is the tissue (or germinal matrix) upon which the nail rests, the part of the nail bed that extends beneath the nail root and contains nerves, lymph and blood vessels. The matrix is responsible for the production of the cells that become the nail plate. The width and thickness of the nail plate is determined by the size, length, and thickness of the matrix, while the shape of the fingertip itself determines if the nail plate is flat, arched, or hooked.
Stem cell production changes with aging which causes the epidermal cells to slow in their reproduction. The speed of healing takes more than twice as long in the elderly as it does in a much younger person. After 50 years, wrinkles and sagging of the skin become more noticeable. Effects of aging are a result of deterioration of collagen, elastic fibers; decrease in sebaum production, decrease in melanin production, decrease in content and decomposition of cutaneous fat.

*HAIR: Hair color is controlled by a pigment called melanin that is produced by the hair follicle. With aging, the hair follicles produce less melanin. Many older adults, in addition to becoming more gray, notice thinning hair. Hair strands, which are made of protein, begin to lose some protein and become thinner. Most older adults experience some scalp hair loss as part of the aging process
The skin and fat tissue become thinner and less elastic. Your oil glands produce lesser oils. You will produce less melanin so your hair will change colors. Your nails on your feet and hands will grow slower and thicker. Your skin will get wrinkled and brusie easily.
Hair- distribution of hair is related to age (lanugo, secondary sexual hair distribution, baldness) has a protective role in relation to eyes, ears, and nasal cavities protects head from ultra-violet light and cold
Epidermis-stratified squamous, keratinised epithelium can be of different thicknesses and types: thick & hairless (eg: sole of foot); thin and hair(eg: scalp) new cells formed in basal layer Cells gradually migrate to surface Shedding (desquamation) of surface cells Pigmented cells: melanocytes Undulating interface with dermis to enhance attachment Invagination of surface to form hair follicles and glands.
Older people have rougher, slacker, more transparent, wrinkled, fragile skin that bruises easily. The loss of fat tissue can make eye sockets look sunken and the person's face seem more skeletal.

Coupling this with a combination of hormonal changes and alterations in lifestyle, the structure and chemical composition of many tissues will be affected. SEBACCOEUS GLAND activity declines as does sebum production. This causes perspiration to decrease, leaving the skin dry, scaly, and itchy.As glandular activity declines, there is a reduction in the secretion of sebum (a waxy secretion that coats the surface of hairs). Persperation production also declines. Both cause the skin to be dry and flaky.
When you get old your hair starts to become gray in the integumentary system. Since you are coming of age your skin begans to wrinkle and get real soft. Your nails start to be funny shaped and starts to turn a yellowish color when you are getting old.

This causes thinner, more translucent skin, meaning more frequent skin injuries, tearing, and infections. Coupling this with a combination of hormonal changes and alterations in lifestyle, the structure and chemical composition of many tissues will be affected. SEBACCOEUS GLAND activity declines as does sebum production. This causes perspiration to decrease, leaving the skin dry, scaly, and itchy.As glandular activity declines, there is a reduction in the secretion of sebum (a waxy secretion that coats the surface of hairs). Persperation production also declines. Both cause the skin to be dry and flaky.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get old your hair starts to become gray in the integumentary system. Since you are coming of age your skin begans to wrinkle and get real soft. Your nails start to be funny shaped and starts to turn a yellowish color when you are getting old.
ReplyDeleteThe Integumentary System is a the bodies largest system and it consist of organs such as the skin. The skin and fat tissue become thinner and less elastic. Your oil glands produce lesser oils. You will produce less melanin so your hair will change colors. Your nails on your feet and hands will grow slower and thicker. Your skin will get wrinkled and brusie easily.
ReplyDeleteRe-post ..... I added an interduction
When you aged the skin becomes thinner, more fragile, and the protective subcutaneous fat layer is lost. Two main layers: the outer epidermis and the inner dermis. Deep to the skin are the supporting tissues that include adipose tissue (fat) and connective tissue layers called fascia.There are differences in distribution of the subcutaneous fat in women and men.This causes thinner more frequent skin injuries, tearing, and infections. The speed of healing takes more than twice as long in the elderly.As a person ages, his skin and fat tissue become thinner and less elastic.
