IMPORTANCE OF MOBILITY

Dear Student,

Your acceptance of job at least anywhere in West Bengal state

will surely increase your chance of getting the job of a Medical
Representative.

On the other hand, your refusal to go outside your district will

CARREOGRAPH
restrict in the process of our selection for interview as well as
selection by the companies.

Remember, your working experience outside your town /

district / state will count much more as an “experienced”
candidate in future than working within your home town or
district.

Therefore, go for your career through professional attitude.

(Training Desk)

Importance of Two Wheeler in

Medical Representative's Job

During selection of Medical Representative, candidates having two-wheelers are

preferred. Medical Representatives work in an assigned territory. A Medical
Representative has to travel to different places within the assigned territory to meet
customers. It is very difficult to visit the customers in different locations of the territory
without a two wheeler. A Medical Representative must also maintain a specified call
average for Doctors and Chemists. So time management is a very important part of

CARREOGRAPH
the job of a Medical Representative for which two-wheeler is required.
Basic requirements for maintaining a two-wheeler;

1. Driving
license.
2. Smart card, Insurance paper & emission certificate is
mandatory.
3. If a candidate's father or any close relative owns a two wheeler, then the
candidate
can use the same two- wheeler with an authorization letter from the owner. In such
cases, the candidate has to go to Court & make the authorization letter in stamp
paper by any Notary or government authorized lawyer.
4. If a candidate wants to purchase a second hand two wheeler from anybody, he/ she
has to go to the Regional Transport Office(RTO) with the owner of the two
wheeler & fill in form 29-30 by which he/she can transfer the two-wheeler in his
/her name.

5. It is important to note that one can purchase a two-wheeler any time but it is time
consuming to get a Driving license & Smart card. So it is suggested that
candidates who does not have a driving license should immediately apply for the
same.
Proper dress code as per motor vehicles act should be maintained while driving a
two-wheeler .Wearing a helmet is mandatory for a safe drive.

THE HUMAN BODY

The body as a whole is built up round the bony framework of the skeleton and
consists of three main parts:

1. Head & Neck

Head is separated into two parts:
a) The Cranium or Brain case
b) The Face

2. The Trunk : a) The Chest or Thorax

b) The Abdomen & the Pelvis

3.The Limbs : a) The Upper Limbs or Arms

b) The Lower Limbs or Legs
There are two pairs of limbs - The Upper Limbs & Lower Limbs:
a) Upper Limb consists of Bones - Humerus, Radius, Ulna,
Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges.
B) Lower Limb consists of Bones - Femur, Tibia, Fibula,
Tarsals, Metatarsals, Phalanges.

The chief organs of the body are contained in 4 special cavities:

a) Brain - In the cavity of the cranium (skull)

b) Lungs & Heart - In the cavity of thorax (chest)
c) Digestive system - In the abdominal cavity
d) Contents of the Pelvic Cavity:

i) Lower part of the large intestine

ii) Urinary Bladder
iii) Female Reproductive organs
iv) Male Reproductive organs
11

CYTOLOGY

Cytology is the branch of biology which deals with the study of structure and function of
cell. Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living body.
Three main components of cells :
1. Plasma Membrane / Cell Membrane - The semi permeable membrane that
separates the interior of all cells from outside environment and protects
the cell.
2. Nucleus - Controls activities of the cell.
3. Cytoplasm - Surrounds the nucleus and carries out the activities

RREOG
Determined by the nucleus.
Nucleus and Cytoplasm together is called Protoplasm, the living substance of
the Cell.
The structure of the cell

CELL MEMBRANE: It is made up of lipids and proteins and gives shape and
protection to the cell and is also selectively permeable.

CYTOPLASM: A jelly like substance that fills up the cell and is surrounded by the cell
membrane.

NUCLEUS: It is the dense portion of the cell housing the genetic material that is
chromosome.

Chromosome: A structure in the nucleus containing a thread of DNA which transmits

genetic information during cell division.

Gene: The hereditary unit of life, it is a unit of DNA located on the chromosome which
passes information from parent to offspring.

Mitochondria: Called the power house of the cell, it is where glucose is brokendown
releasing energy stored in the form of ATP.
 12

CELL DIVISION

Function of Cell
Cell membrane is permeable to selective substances.
Gives response to external stimuli.
Has the ability to absorb nutrients and excrete waste products.
Has the capacity for growth and repair.
Has the ability to reproduce in Mitosis and Meiosis way.

MITOSIS MEIOSIS
- 2 identical daughter cell with 46 - Daughter cells with 23 chromosomes
chromosomes are formed develop

C
AR
REO
GR
APH
- Takes place in all somatic or body cells - Takes place only in Testes In males
of males and Ovary of females (sperm) and Ovary in females (ovum).
- For growth and repair. - For birth of next generation.

TISSUE: Similar cells put together and performing the same function are called
tissues. There are 5 types of tissues:
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
MUSCULAR TISSUE NERVOUS TISSUE
AREOLAR TISSUE
A group of tissues that perform a similar function (or functions) is called an
ORGAN. For e.g Heart, Liver, Lungs, Kidney

Organs when put together as they are engaged in the same type of function, form
SYSTEMS.

There are 8 (Eight) major systems in our body. They are:

- MUSCULOSKELETAL - NERVOUS SYSTEM
SYSTEM
- URINARY SYSTEM
- DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
- REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
- CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
AND
- RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
- ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

There are also 5 senses and the organs responsible are:

Touch Sight Hearing Taste Smell
(Skin) (Eye) (Ear) (Tongue) (Nose)
13

MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM

Muscles are responsible for movement and various activities in our body.

There are 3 types of muscles in the human body:

VOLUNTARY OR STRIATED - they function according to our will. E.g.

Muscles of hands and legs like Biceps & Triceps of hands & Hamstring of
legs.

INVOLUNTARY OR SMOOTH - they function on their own. E.g. Urinary

Bladder, Stomach, Intestines.

REOG
CARDIAC - involuntary in nature and found only in the heart. Cardiac muscles
are controlled by Autonomic Nervous System.

MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM

Classification of Bone according to shape i.e.

1. Long Bone - Femur (Longest Bone), Tibia, Fibula, Humerus etc.
2. Short Bone - Carpal, Tarsal etc.
3. Flat Bone - Scapula, Ilium, Ischium, Pubis etc.
4. Irregular Bone - Vertebrae
5. Sesamoid Bone - Patella

Name of most important bone :

In the Skull in front : Frontal Bone

At the side : Temporal Bone, Parietal Bone
At the rear : Occipital Bone

The spine has four main section

Cervical Vertebrae (7) in the Neck
Thoracic Vertebrae (12) in the Trunk
Lumber Vertebrae (5) in the Lower Back
Sacrum and Coccyx in the Pelvis
Functions of Bones:
Give support and framework to the body.
Bones are a store-house for minerals like Calcium, Magnesium etc.
Bones protect various organs and also helps to prevent injury (e.g. Skull
protects Brain and Rib Cage protects Heart & Lungs).
Movement in the body occurs with help of bones and muscles.
Bone Marrow helps to produce Blood Cells (RBC & WBC- Granulocytes).

Longest bone in our body is FEMUR and the smallest bone is STAPES in the middle
ear.

There are 12 pairs of Rib Bones originating from Vertebral Column and attached
With the STERNUM in the front, 10 pairs attached and 2 pairs remain hanging and
also called the Floating Ribs.
Some Bone and Joint diseases:

OSTEOPOROSIS - Bones become porous and brittle due to deficiency of

minerals like Calcium and is easily broken during injury.

OSTEOARTHRITIS - Non inflammatory degenarative joint disease marked

By destruction of the articular cartilage accompanied by pain and stiffness.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Anatomy along with functions

The digestive tract (G.I. tract) comprises the following structures:

The mouth cavity : Teeth ,hard and soft palate ,Tongue ,salivary glands (one pair each
of parotid, sub maxillary and sub lingual)
Function : The food which is taken into the mouth is chewed with teeth and mixed with
saliva ,secretions of salivary glands to render it into a state suitable for swallowing.
Enzyme Salivary - amylase : Converts cooked starch into Maltose.
Pharynx : Acts only for food passage
Oesophagus : -do-
Stomach : A muscular bag just below the
diaphragm at the end of Oesophagus which
retains food for several hours. It has got
4 segments Cardiac Orifice, Fundus, Body & Pylorus.

Function : Digestion of protein & fat by gastric

juice Pepsin and Lipase respectively ,Gastric
rennin coagulates milk. The pH of stomach is
in the range of 0.9 to 1.5 which is highly acidic.

Small intestine : Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum.

Function : Final step of digestion of food with

pancreatic juice alkaline in nature and its own
secretion Succus Entericus. Bile helps in
Emulsification of fat.

The Small intestine has millions of tiny finger-like projections called Villi. Function of
Villi is to absorb nutrients (simple food) from small intestine into the blood stream.

Large intestine : Caecum , Ascending Colon ,Transverse Colon ,Descending Colon,

Sigmoid Colon, Rectum, Anus.

Function : Mainly water absorption and excretion of waste products faeces or stool.

The function of the entire system is aided by secretions from largest gland liver (bile)
and mixed gland pancreas (pancreatic juice).
17

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Gall Bladder : Also associated with digestive system is the rear shaped gall bladder,
which is a small hollow organ which lies just beneath the liver. It is how that bile is
stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine.

What is digestion?
Digestion is a process where complex food molecules are broken down into simple
forms, which can be absorbed and used by the body.

What are enzymes?

Enzymes are soluble organic catalysts manufactured by living cells.

What does gastric juice contain?

Gastric juice contains :
1) Pepsinogen Hcl Pepsin (acts on protein to peptones )

2) Rennin(coagulates milk)
3) Small amount of gastric lipase (fat splitting enzyme)

What is liver?
1) Liver is the largest gland in the body
2) Liver is the head quarters of metabolism
3) Liver is the part of digestive system

Where is Liver situated?

It is situated in the upper right region of abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm.

What are the functions of liver?

The functions of liver are :
1) Production of Bile
2) Storage of Glycogen
3) Formation of Urea
4) Storage of vitamins like A,D,E,K, Folic Acid, B12 and Iron
5) Production of Heparin (anti coagulant)
6) And also prothrombin, fibrinogen to help clotting
7) Detoxification of toxic substances through metabolic process
8) Metabolism of Proteins, Fats and Carbohydrates
 18

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

What are the functions of Pancreas?

With its exocrine secretions pouring into Deodenum Endocrine Secretion
1) Trypsin acts on proteins 1) Insulin
2) Amylase acts on carbohydrates 2) Glucagon
3) Lipase acts on fats These two hormones regulate
blood glucose levels

How carbohydrates ,proteins and fats are absorbed in the body ?

They are absorbed in the body through intestinal villi in the form of :
1) Amino acids(from protein)
2) Fatty acids and glycerol(from fat)
3) Glucose (from Carbohydrate)

What is Metabolism ?
Metabolism involves the biochemical processes through which complex substances
are broken down with liberation of energy(catabolism) and building up of complex
substances from simple ones with the formation of tissue protein (anabolism).
Maintaining the continuing equilibrium (Isobolism).

What is Peristalsis?
Involuntary wave of muscular contraction followed by dilatation starting from
Oesophagus in presence of food effecting easy forward passage of food.

What is Sphinter?
A specialized ring of muscles that surrounds an orifice allowing substance to pass in
the forward direction only.

What is Calorie?
A unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gm of
water through 1º C.

Vitamins :
Group of substances essential for body growth. They do not produce calories but act
as catalysts. We require small amounts. They can't be synthesized in the body but
available in the food we take.

They are of two types. The water soluble group includes vitamin B complex and vitamin
C. The fat soluble group includes vitamin

A,D,E,K. Vitamin deficiency cause diseases.

19

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Minerals:
These are inorganic substances in the diet, required in small amounts, essential for
life. To name major minerals calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus,
sulphur etc.

Common diseases of G. I. Tract :

1) Gastritis 2) Ulcers
3) Dysentery 4) Diarrhoea
5) Dyspepsia 6) Flatulence
7) Appendicitis 8) Jaundice
9) Hepatitis 10) Cirrhosis of liver

Stomach :

1. Cardiac Glands - Nearest to the oesophageal entrance & secrete an

Alkaline Mucus.

2. Glands of Fundus - Contains different types of cells.

a. Peptic Cells - Produce Pepsin

b. Oxyntic Cells - Produce Hcl
c. Mucus Neck Cells - Produce Mucin
d. Chief Cells - Produce Lipase

3. Pyloric Glands - Produce alkaline Mucus.

Pancreas: Three kinds of cells are found -

1. Acinar Cells - All the enzymes are secreted.

2. Ducts Cells - Formation & secretion of Bicarbonate.
Cells produce GLUCAGON
Cells produce INSULIN
Cells produce SOMATOSTATIN
Bile
:

Bile is produced in the liver and is stored in the Gall Bladder.

The main pancreatic duct meets the common bile duct, the two ducts join together,
dilate into an ampulla (Vater) and open into the 2nd part of duodenum over the summit
of the major duodenal papillae.
 20

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Function of Bile -

1. Bile emulsifies Fat and Lipase converts the fat into Fatty Acid and Glycerol.

2. For proper absorption of digested fat, the presence of bile salts is necessary. They
act by lowering surface tension. Fatty Acid & Glycerol are absorbed into the villi of
small intestine.

Proteolytic / Protein splitting enzymes : (1) Pepsin (2) Trypsin (3)

METABOLISM

Digestion involves mechanical breakdown of foods in the mouth (chewing); chemical

breakdown of foods by enzymes, stomach acid and other secretions in the small
intestine and then absorption of nutrients into the blood stream.

Metabolism starts after absorption and is finished when the end products are
excreted. The chemical changes (1) Synthesis known as ANABOLISM, (2)
breakdown called
CATABOLISM and (3) maintaining equilibrium called ISOBOLISM, comprises total
Metabolism.

CARREOGRAPH
In short: METABOLISM is the term for all the chemical and physical processes
required for life, using absorbed nutrients.

METABOLISM = ANABOLISM + CATABOLISM + ISOBOLISM

ANABOLISM = When nutrients are used to build compounds and body tissues, this
process is called Anabolism.

CATABOLISM = When compounds and body tissues are broken down, releasing
energy stored as ATP, the process is called Catabolism.

ISOBOLISM = Maintaining the continuing equilibrium.

A. NUTRIENTS are :
CATEGORY I (MACRONUTRIENTS)
CARBOHYDRATES.
PROTEINS.
FATS.
CATEGORY II (MICRONUTRIENTS)
VITAMINS.
MINERALS.
B. The ENERGY produced in the body may be measured and expressed
In units of work (Joules) or units of heat (Kilocalories).

BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR) is the rate of metabolism when the person
should be awake & is in complete physical and mental rest and in the normal
environments, using minimum energy just to maintain the essential life processes
(functioning of heart, lungs, nervous system and kidneys). It is measured as per
unit of body surface area (in Sq. Metres) per hour and to be taken 12 hours after
a meal.

DIABETES

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disease characterized by

hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose), Polyuria (increase in frequency of urine),
Polydipsia (increase in thirst), Polyphagia (increase in appetite), etc. resulting from
defects in insulin secretion, or insulin action or both.
CLASSIFICATIONS
A. Most common is Diabetes Mellitus (DM). It is a disorder of Islets of langerhans in
the Pancreas preventing production of hormone called insulin. Thus glucose can not
be used or utilized properly. It causes predominantly insulin resistance or the insulin

CARREOGRAPH
become inactive. Both factors are responsible to develop diabetes mellitus.

In our country about 95% of the diabetics are suffering from diabetes mellitus.

THE OBJECTIVE OF TREATMENT IN DM

(i) To relieve symptoms (ii) To achieve smooth control of blood glucose (to keep
fasting plasma glucose and postprandial plasma glucose in normal ranges and
maintain it)
(iii) To keep ideal body weight (iv) To ensure normal growth in children. v) To prevent,
arrest or postpone complications of DM etc.

How to achieve objective?

a. Administration of drug like, oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHA), or insulins.
b. Exercise, yoga, games etc.
c. Effective diet planning
d. Patient education.

CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DIABETES MELLITUS

1. Insulin dependant diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or Type 1

2. Non Insulin dependant diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or Type 2

B. Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is much rarer. It is due to deficiency of a hormone, ADH

(antidiuretic hormone) secreted by the posterior pituitary gland to regulate the body's
water balance. DI is controlled by hormone therapy.

India is considered as diabetic capital of the world observing the high number of
Diabetic patients in our country.

around 78% and traces of other gases.

CARREO GRAPH
What are the Muscles & Bones involved in Respiration?
Two muscles of our body play very important role in respiration. They are Diaphragm and
Intercostal Muscles and two bones involved in respiration - Ribs and Sternum.
Major Organs of Respiration:
NOSE and NASAL CAVITY Nose is a structure made
up of cartilage with openings called nostrils which
allow the air to flow in or out. Nasal Cavities are the
spaces in bones of face which are filled with air.
EPIGLOTTIS A flap of cartilaginous structure in the
throat that keeps food from entering the
Air
respiratory tract.
LARYNX an organ serving as an air passage
conveying air to trachea and also responsible for Epiglottis
production of vocal sounds.

(ACTH) glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoid, sexsteroids.

Prolactin (PRL) Stimulates milk production in the breasts.

Stimulates production of sperm in the 2 testes,

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
stimulates secretion of oestrogen by the 2 ovaries
(Ovarian follicle), maturation of ovarian follicles.

Stimulates secretion of testosterone by the

Luteinising hormone (LH) 2 testes, stimulates secretion of progesterone by
the corpus luteum, ovulation.

POSTERIOR PITUITARY secretes (1) Oxytocin for forceful uterine contractions for
smooth delivery. Posterior Pituitary also releases (2) Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
effecting reabsorption of water & selective substances from urinary tubules.

ENDOCRINES

Hormone : Hormones are chemical substances produced by endocrine glands, directly

pass into the bloodstream and play in various life processes of the body.

GLANDS WITH DEFINITE ENDOCRINE FUNCTIONS:

Glands Hormones released

1. Thyroid (one pair) - Thyroxine

2. Parathyroid (Two pairs) - Parathyroid Hormone

CARREOGRAPH
3. Adrenal Gland (one pair) - Glucocorticoids, Mineralocorticoids,
Sexsteroids, Epinephrine,
Norepinephrine.
4. Islets of Langerhans (Endocrine pancreas) - Insulin, Glucagon
5. Ovary - Oestrogen, Progesterone.
6. Testis - Testosterone
7. Placenta (during pregnancy) - Progesterone & Oestrogen
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)

In addition to the above, there are glands with probable endocrine functions:
a) Thymus b) Pineal body

The endocrine system

The system consists of a number of ductless glands which release chemical substance known
as hormones that take essential roles in life processes, e.g. growth, metabolism, reproduction
etc.

Pituitary Gland
The master endocrine gland, a pea-sized body attached beneath the hypothalamus in the brain
that releases many hormones which in turn regulate the secretions of other endocrine Glands.

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

The male reproductive organs consists of Testes, Epididymis, Vas Deferens, Seminal
Vesicles, Prostate, Bulbo-urethral Gland, Prostatic Urethra, Penile Urethra and Penis.
The female organs include Ovaries, Fallopian Tubes, Uterus, Bartholin's Glands, Vagina.
Puberty - The onset of reproductive life is called puberty. It is the time when the gonads
(testes and ovaries) develop endocrine and gametogenic functions.
In the female, the Uterus is a thick-walled pear-shaped muscular hollow organ. It is
suspended in the pelvic cavity. The upper part is connected to the two Fallopian tubes, one
on each side and the lower part joins the vagina at the cervix-Vagina internal & vagina
external.
Two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus contain numerous follicles, within which the ova

CARREOGRAPH
develop. Ovulation is the process by which an ovum is released from a mature follicle. The
released ovum starts to travel through the Fallopian tube to the uterus, The fusion of a
spermatozoon and an ovum is know as Fertilization. In absence of sperm, when fertilization
does not take place, the endometrium breaks and the blood, mucus and uterine tissue are
eliminated through the vagina during 4 to 5 days in a cycle of 28 days is known as
Menstruation. In the age between 45 and 55, when the ovaries cease to produce an ovum,
menstruation ceases and the woman is no longer able to bear children. The stage is called
Menopause.

TERMINOLOGIES RELATED TO FEMALE

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

AGE OF PUBERTY: It is the age when an adolescent reaches sexual maturity that is the
boy or girl is now capable of reproduction. This age usually ranges from 10 years to 14
years.
GRAAFIAN FOLLICLE: A mature ovarian follicle that ruptures to release the egg or ovum
during ovulation.
OVULATION: The release of the matured ovum from the ovary after the rupture of the
Graafian Follicle is called ovulation.
FEMALE GAMETE: A haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes produced from the Ovary is
called the female gamete or Ovum ( plural- Ova).

CARREOGRAPH
CORPUS LUTEUM: After the Graafian Follicle ruptures, in it's place a mass of yellow
coloured cells is formed. It is called Corpus Luteum which produces progesterone under the
action of Luteinzing Hormone.
MENSTRUATION: The shedding of the functional endometrial layer after every cycle of 28
days when there is no fertilization and therefore no embedding of the embryo on the wall of
the uterus.
MALE GAMETE: A haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes produced from the Testes is
called the male gamete or Spermatozoa (singular- Spermatozoon).
FERTILIZATION: The fusion or union of the male gamete with the female gamete is called
fertilization.
ZYGOTE: The first diploid cell of 46 chromosomes formed just after fertilization of ovum with
sperm is called zygote.
PLACENTA: It is a vascular organ which remains in direct contact with the uterine
endometrium and provides nourishment and oxygen to the growing foetus and also helps in
removal of waste products. The placenta also acts as a barrier in preventing certain disease
causing micro- organisms from reaching the foetus.
EMBRYO: The zygote starts multiplying and undergoes development; from 2 weeks to 8
weeks after fertilization it is called an embryo.
FOETUS: After 8 weeks of fertilization till birth, the embryo is now called the foetus.
GESTATION PERIOD: The entire period inside the female reproductive organs during which
the zygote becomes the fully matured foetus is called gestation. This is counted as 280 days
st
or 40 weeks from the 1 day of last menstrual cycle.
LABOUR: Under the influence of the hormone oxytocin there is painful contractions of the
myometrium of the uterus at the end of the gestation period to aid in the expulsion of the fully
grown foetus, this is called labour.
MENOPAUSE: The Menstrual Cycle stops after a certain age (45 to 55 years) in women. Her
reproductive age is over , this is called Menopause.

THE SKIN
(STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN)

SKIN AN OVERVIEW :
Surface area of 1.2 to 2.2 square meters.
Weighs 4 to 5 kilograms.
Accounts for about 7% of total body weight in average adult.
A complex organ that protects its host from its environment, at the same time allowing
interaction with the environment.
A physical permeability barrier.

CARREOGRAPH
TYPES OF SKIN:
Two main kinds of human skin: glabrous skin (non hairy skin) and hair bearing skin.
Glabrous skin is found on the palms and soles and has lines and ridges (fingerprints).

STRUCTURE OF THE SKIN:

The skin has three layers:

Outermost layer : EPIDERMIS
Middle Layer : DERMIS
Innermost Layer : HYPODERMIS (Also called SUBCUTIS
 58

THE SKIN
(STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN)

LAYERS OF THE EPIDERMIS:

The Epidermis has five layers, from inner to outer they are
1) Stratum germinativum (Basale)
2) Stratum spinosum
3) Stratum granulosum
4) Stratum lucidum
5) Stratum corneum

CARREOGRAPH
CELLS OF THE EPIDERMIS:
The Epidermis is a Squamous epithelium with four distinct cell types:
1) Keratinocytes-Cells of the epidermis which is filled with a protein called keratin.
2) Melanocytes-Produces dark brown to black pigment called Melanin, production
increases in presence of sunlight, it reflects skin colour.
3) Merkel cells-Sensory cells responsible for detecting touch, pain, pressure on the
skin.
4) Langerhan cells-Protective cells, responsible for protection from foreign particles
by phagocytosis.

DERMIS:
The Dermis is tough and elastic in nature and made up of fibrous tissue. It consists of
a dense network of blood and Lymph vessels, nerves, glands (sweat glands &
Sebaceous glands), hair roots.
The dermis is arranged in two major regions:

1) The Upper-Thin Papillary dermis - Contains Capillaries and nerve endings (Sensory)
& determines individual’s unique finger prints.
2) The Lower-Thick Reticular dermis - Contains sweat glands, larger blood vessels
& nerves.
HYPODERMIS OR SUBCUTIS:
The Hypodermis is a loose layer of Connective tissue with numerous blood vessels, it
connects the Epidermis and Dermis with the underlying tissue of muscles, bones and
cartilage. Almost 80% of the body fat is stored in the Hypodermis. It is responsible for
giving a cushioning effect against trauma and provides insulation and acts as a calorie
reserve. And also contains dense tracery of nerves.
59

THE SKIN
(STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN)

FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN:

1) PROTECTION- The skin protects the body from the external environment and
from the invasion of micro-organisms.
2) SENSATION-The Merkel cells of the skin can detect and caution against
the external environment.
3) EXCRETION - The skin removes some amount of excess water and waste
materials through sweat glands.

CARREOGRAPH
4) THERMOREGULATION - The sweat glands regulate body temperature
through adjustment of the amount of sweat.
5) LUBRICATION of the Skin-The Sebaceous glands produces Sebum which forms
an oily covering on the skin causing a waterproofing effect and thus prevents the
skin from drying.
6) Subcutaneous fat provides cushioning effect against trauma.

SKIN LESIONS:
1) ABSCESS- A skin lesion characterised by collection of pus in a localised cavity.
2) DERMATITIS- Synonym Eczema, characterized by red inflamed epidermis with
itching.
3) URTICARIA- Allergic skin condition characterized by red swelled skin with wheals.
4) ACNE - A skin disease where sebaceous glands become inflamed,
characterised by oily skin.

Skin Infections-Skin infections are of different types and can be caused by Bacteria
(Leprosy), Fungi (Ringworm), Virus (Chicken pox, Herpes) and Parasites (Scabies,
Lice).

Vitiligo-Also known as Leucoderma. In this condition the Melanocytes which produce

melanin to give the skin colour are destroyed and so the skin loses its colour to
become whitish.

THE EYE

The organ of vision is the eye which consists of the eyeball, roughly spherical ,located in the
orbit of the skull. The optic nerve enters the eyeball a little inside. Each eye is protected by
covering of two eyelids , along with hairs, eyelashes to keep dust away. The eyeball has
three coats :
Outer one (1) Fibrous Coat - with two parts a) Posterior part Sclera b) Anterior part Cornea
Middle one (2) Vascular Coat - (with large no. of blood vessels)
With three parts a) Posterior part Choroid b) Middle part Ciliary body c) Anterior part Iris
Inner one (3) Nervous coat is called Retina
With photosensitive receptors , where the visual impulses are generated. Two types of
cells are there : Rods to see in dim light and cone functioning in bright light.
