Physiology of Respiration II: Neurogenic Control of Respiration01:22

Physiology of Respiration II: Neurogenic Control of Respiration

2.2K
The neurogenic control of respiration coordinates various neural networks and pathways to regulate breathing rate and depth, meeting the body's oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange requirements. This system adapts to physiological and environmental conditions, ensuring optimal breathing patterns.
Central Control
The brainstem is the primary site of central control, hosting respiratory centers:

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.0K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Sensory Functions of the Skin01:16

Sensory Functions of the Skin

8.3K
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and plays a crucial role in our sensory perception. It contains a vast network of sensory receptors that contribute to the skin's protective function by perceiving physical, biological, and environmental cues and generating relevant responses.
There are two main categories of receptors on the skin: capsulated and non-capsulated. The non-capsulated ones are mainly the pain receptors. The capsulated ones can be further categorized based on the...

Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.5K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis01:23

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis

8.0K
The skin plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin D, a vital nutrient for various physiological processes in the body. Vitamin D is unique because it can be synthesized in the skin through a series of chemical reactions triggered by exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight.
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Neuroimmunology
  • Cutaneous Biology

Background:

  • The skin's epidermis and nerve endings engage in mutual communication.
  • Sensory nerves release neuropeptides (e.g., substance P, CGRP) that influence immune cells and inflammation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the intricate connections between skin neurons and resident skin cells.
  • To understand the role of these interactions in neurogenic inflammation and skin diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of scientific literature on neuro-cutaneous interactions.
  • Analysis of the roles of specific receptors (Mrgpr, TRPA1, Par2, TRPV4) and neuropeptides in skin conditions.

Main Results:

  • Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors (Mrgprs), TRPA1, and Par2 are implicated in itch and inflammation.
  • Neuropeptides modulate immune responses in atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and rosacea.
  • Specific neuropeptides like substance P trigger inflammatory cytokine release.

Conclusions:

  • The neuro-cutaneous axis is critical for regulating skin inflammation.
  • Targeting these interactions may offer therapeutic strategies for inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and rosacea.
