Gunther von Hagens’Body Worlds
The whole-body plastinate demonstrateson the one hand how vulnerable man lookswithout the skin to protect him, and on the other hand the nature of the skin as an independent organ when there is no longera body inside of it.

Sixteen-century copper engraving Of flayed manholding aloft his own Skin.
The artist was probably Gaspar Becerra, himself an anatomist, who assisted Michelangeloin painting The SystineChapel.

Terminology
• Apical (glabrous) skin • is present in the palmar surface of the hand, plantar surface of the
foot, and the face. Apical skin is mainly involved in thermoregulation. It contains a large number of arteriovenous (A-V)shunts maintained in the constricted state by sympathetic tone.
• Nonapical (nonglabrous --hairy) skin• is present over most of the body surface. The blood flow is primarily
nutritive in function with intrinsic myogenic, sympathetic and endothelial regulation comparably involved.

Skin function - an overview• Control of water loss
• Temperature regulation
• Response to physical abuse
• Site of local immune response
• Protection against damaging agents
• Site of sensory input (pain, pressure and temperature receptors)
• Response to ultraviolet radiation (Melanin and vitamin D production)

General features of skin blood flow
• Range- 0 to 7 L/min (total body)
• A-V anastamosis
• Skin color –blood volume and oxygen saturation
• Countercurrent flow patterns, somewhat important in heat conservation

Response to Heat and Cold• Resting skin blood flow –
250 ml/min• Measurement of skin
blood flow – laser Doppler flow meter and venous occlusion plethysmography
• Response to heating – threshold and sensitivity

Reflex neural control of skin blood flow.
A. Innervation.
• sympathetic adrenergic vasoconstrictor nerves• sympathetic vasodilator nerves
B. Vasoconstrictor control of body temperature.
• tonic activity of constriction controls temperature between LCT and UCT – the thermal neutral zone.
• Withdrawal of VC yields 10-20% increase in blood flow.
![Page 26: Dermatology and Musculoskeletal System Physiology of the Skin Lorentz E. Wittmers Jr. June 6, 2008.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e405503460f94b32473/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Skin circulation with hot and cold exposure
![Page 27: Dermatology and Musculoskeletal System Physiology of the Skin Lorentz E. Wittmers Jr. June 6, 2008.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e405503460f94b32473/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• C. The vasodilator system is only activated during environmental stress such as exercise or high ambient temperature.
• Neural component early response
• nitric oxide – 30% of total vasodilation on total body heating.
![Page 28: Dermatology and Musculoskeletal System Physiology of the Skin Lorentz E. Wittmers Jr. June 6, 2008.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e405503460f94b32473/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• D. Blood pressure control and skin blood flow.
• decreased blood pressure in normothermia results in vasoconstriction.
• decreased blood pressure in hyperthermia results in substantial withdrawal of vasodilation activity in addition to vasoconstriction.
![Page 29: Dermatology and Musculoskeletal System Physiology of the Skin Lorentz E. Wittmers Jr. June 6, 2008.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e405503460f94b32473/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• E. Skin blood flow and exercise.
• Competing demands on skin blood flow:
• initial constriction of skin, kidneys and splanchnic beds muscle
• as internal temperature rises, dilation to facilitate heat loss (under exercising conditions, the rise is less for any given internal temperature)
![Page 30: Dermatology and Musculoskeletal System Physiology of the Skin Lorentz E. Wittmers Jr. June 6, 2008.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e405503460f94b32473/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
In a hot environment – large demands for blood supply to both skin and muscle.
Possible adjustments:
• increase in cardiac output• increase in vasoconstriction in splanchnic and renal
circulation• shift in blood flow from muscle to skin (muscle will shift to
anaerobic metabolism)• However, increased skin blood flow has its limits
Bad end is circulatory collapse.

Local control of skin blood flowWarming
• Phase 1 – C-fiber afferents – axon reflex resulting in vasodilation (transmitters - substance P, Nerokinin A, and calcitonin gene-related peptide)
• Phase 2 – nitric oxide dependent vasodilation

Impaired response to local heating—vasodilator system
Impaired reflex control of skin blood flow (sweating and blood pressure control problems)
