Functions of skin

Image
Functions of skin Introduction : skin is the largest organ of the body. It's thickness about 1-5mm according to location. Skin is made up following two layers... 1. Outer epidermis:   formed by the stratified epithelium. 2. Inner dermis: formed by the fibroblast, collagen fibers and histiocyte. Download book (physiology symbulingum ). Functions : Protective function: skin forms covering of all organs of the body and protects from Bacteria, Toxic substances, Mechanical blow and Ultraviolet rays. Sensory function: skin is considered as the largest sense organ of the body. It has many nerve endings which form specialized receptors. These receptors are stimulated by sensation of touch, pain, pressure and temperature convey these sensation to brain. Storage function: skin stores fat, water, chloride and sugar. Vitamin D3 : vitamin D3 is synthesized in skin by the action of ultraviolet rays on cholesterol. Regulation of body temperature:  Excess amount

Asphyxia

Cytoskeleton

Image
Name :- Cytoskeleton Properties : It is an cellular organelle present throughout the cytoplasm. It is a complex network of structures with varying sizes. Cytoskeleton is consists of three major protein components i.e. microtubule, intermediate filaments and microfilaments. Microtubules : These are the straight, hollow and tubular structures.  These organelles are arranged in different bundles without the limiting any membrane.  Each tubules has 20-30 nano-meter diameter and length varies, it may be 1000 times more than the thickness.  Microtubules are formed by bundles of globular protein called  tubulin.  Tubulin has two subunits i.e. alpha and beta. Intermediate Filaments (IF) : IF form a network around the nucleus and extend to the periphery of the cell. Diameter of each filament is about 10 nano-meter. IF are formed by rope-like protein polymers (fibrous proteins) IF are divided into five subclasses :- Keratins (in epithelial cells) Glial flaments (in astrocytes) Neurofilaments (in
