About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "INTRODUCTION TO DERMATOLOGY".

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about dermatology, the branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions related to the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. The skin is the largest organ of the body and plays a crucial role in protecting the body from external factors such as infections, injuries, and UV radiation.

Dermatologists are medical specialists who diagnose and treat a wide range of skin-related conditions, including skin cancers, acne, eczema, psoriasis, warts, and various other skin infections. They also deal with issues related to hair loss, nail disorders, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that may affect the skin.

Dermatology involves a comprehensive approach to patient care, which may include a physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment options may vary depending on the condition and severity, and may include medications, surgery, or other therapeutic procedures.

In addition to treating skin conditions, dermatologists also provide preventive care, education, and counseling to help patients maintain healthy skin and reduce the risk of developing skin-related diseases. They also play an important role in educating the public about the dangers of excessive sun exposure and the importance of early detection of skin cancers.

Introduction to dermatology The skin is a complex, dynamic organ. It is the largest organ of the body.
Slide 5-

Function Barrier to harmful exogenous substance & pathogens. Prevents loss of water & proteins. Sensory organ protects against physical injury. Regulates body temperature. Important component of immune system. Vit .D production by absorbing UVB. Has psychological and cosmetic importance such as hair, nails.
Slide 6-

Skin Structure The skin consists of: Epidermis Basement membrane Dermis Subcutaneous tissue Skin appendages
Slide 7-

Epidermis "epi" coming from the Greek meaning "over" or "upon” Is the outermost layer of the skin. The main type of cells are: Keratinocytes Melanocytes Merkel cells Langerhans cells which make up the epidermis
Slide 8-

Skin Structure Epidermis: Consist of several zones Basal layer (stratum basale) :columnar dividing cells. Spinous layer (stratum spinosum): polyhedral cells attached by desmosomes. Granular layer (stratum granulosum): flat cells containing keratohyaline granules. Cornified layer (stratum corneum ):dead cell with no organells. 7
Slide 9-

Skin Structure Basal cell layer (stratum basale): Rest on the basement membrane. Divides continuously and move upwards. Melanocytes are dendritic cells lying between basal cells in a ratio of 1:10 . They synthesize melanin stored in melanosomes. 10 Keratinocytes 1 melanocyte
Slide 10-

Skin Structure Spinous cell layer (stratum spinosum): Adhere to each other by Desmosomes (complex modification of the cell membrane). Desmosomes appear like spines hence the designation Stratum Spinosum. Langerhan cells are antigen presenting present in abundance .
Slide 11-

Skin Structure Granular cell layer (stratum granulosum): Diamond shaped cells. Cytoplasm is filled with Keratohyaline granules. Thickness of this layer is proportional to the thickness of the stratum cornium layer . In thin skin it is 1 -3- cell layers and 10 cell layers in thick skin.
Slide 12-

Skin Structure Cornified layer (stratum corneum): The cells in this layer have no nucleus . It is 25 cell layer . Cells have thick envelope that resist chemicals.
Slide 13-

Basement membrane It is a pink undulated homogenous area between the epidermis and dermis It consist of number of proteins. It is the site of attack injury in blistering diseases.
Slide 14-

Basement membrane Formed by: Plasma membrane of basal cells and hemidesmosomes. Thin clear amorphous space (lamina lucida). An electron dense area (lamina densa ). Anchoring fibrils that anchors the epidermis to dermis .
Slide 15-

Skin structure Dermis: is divided into Papillary dermis. Reticular dermis. Consists of : 1)Collagen fibers: Provides strength Thin fibers in papillary dermis but thick and coarse in the reticular dermis .
Slide 16-

Skin Structure 2) Elastic Fibers: Provides elasticity Protection against shearing forces.
Slide 17-

Skin structure 3) Ground substance: Binds water and maintains the skin turgor. 4) Blood vessels: To nourish the overlying epidermis also. 5) Fibroblasts: Produce the above elements.
Slide 18-

Skin Structure Function of dermis: It provides nourishment to the epidermis and interact with it during wound repair. It gives the skin its strength, elasticity, and softness.
Slide 19-

Skin structure Subcutaneous Fat: lies below the dermis. Attach the skin to underlying bone and muscle as well as supplying it with blood vessels and nerves. The main cell types are fibroblasts, macrophages and adipocytes .
Slide 20-

Skin Structure Skin Appendages: include Eccrine/ apocrine sweat glands. Sebaceous glands. Hair Follicles. Nails
Slide 21-

Skin appendages Eccrine sweat glands: Tubular structures open freely on the skin ;not attached to hair follicles. Under the influence of cholinergic stimuli. Present everywhere except the vermilion border ; nail beds ; labia minora and glans. Abundant in palms and soles.
Slide 22-

Skin appendages Apocrine sweat glands: Secrete viscous material that give musky odor when acted upon by bacteria. Present in the axillae ; anogenital area ; modified glands in the external ear canal ; the eye lids ( moll’s glands ) ; and areolae. Under adrenergic stimuli.
Slide 23-

Skin appendages Sebaceous glands: Attached to hair follicles or open freely. Present in the scalp, forehead, face,upper chest except palms and soles. Secrete sebum to moisturize the skin. Sebaceous glands are under the control of androgens.
Slide 24-

Skin Appendages Hair follicles: Hair follicle has the hair shaft, hair bulb and the bulge. Pilosebaceous unit include: hair follicle+sebaceous gland+ arrector pili muscle.
Slide 25-

Skin appendages Nails: The nail plate is formed of hard keratin. Proximal nail fold morphology can be altered in connective tissue disease . The lunula is the visible part of the matrix. The matrix covers the midportion of the distal Phalanx.
Slide 26-

Skin appendages Fingernails grow 3mm/month. Toenails grow 1mm/month. Nails can be affected in systemic and skin diseases
