Chapter 9 Skin, Hair, and Nails

1. Review the normal anatomy and physiology of the skin/hair and nails in your Seidel
book.
Skin hair & nails:
Examination of the skin, hair, and nails is performed as part of both the comprehensive and
focused physical examination. The skin, hair, and nails can provide externally visible clues to
systemic disease that may not otherwise be apparent
The skin performs integral functions:
• Protects against microbial/foreign substance invasion and minor physical trauma.
• Restricts body fluid loss; provides a restrictive barrier.
• Regulates body temperature.
• Provides sensory perception via free nerve endings and specialized receptors.
• Produces vitamin D from precursors in the skin.
• Contributes to blood pressure regulation through constriction of skin blood vessels.
• Repairs surface wounds by exaggerating the normal process of cell replacement.
• Excretes sweat, urea, and lactic acid.
• Expresses emotions.


A&P of Skin Layers:
Epidermis
• outer most layer
Dermis
• Vascular connective tissue layer
• Elastin, collagen, reticulin fibers, sensory nerve fibers, autonomic motor nerve
Hypodermis
• subcutaneous layer
• Heat, insulation, shock absorption, reserve of calories
Appendages

, • Eccrine and apocrine sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair, nails.


2. You will need to review basic types of skin lesions in your Seidel book. Please know this

appropriate definition.
Tables 9.4 and 9.5 show the characteristics of primary and secondary lesions. The nomenclature
