Description

Anatomy & Physiology I The Integumentary System Introduction: This module is our first introduction to an organ system. The skin is also known as the Integument. The Integumentary system consists not only of the skin but its accessory structures as well (hair, nails, and cutaneous glands). We pay more attention to this organ system than any other given that it is the most visible one and its appearance affects our social interaction. The various tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous) work together to provide an array of services for the body such as defenses against invasion, vitamin D synthesis, and thermoregulation. The skin does not work in isolation to execute these activities. Rather, the integumentary system functions in concert with other parts of the body such as the circulatory and excretory to maintain overall homeostasis. Learning Outcomes Describe the layers (strata) of the epidermis and the specialized cells that compose them. Describe the regions of the dermis. Explain the basis for different skin colours. Identify on a diagram the 4 (5 in thick skin) layers of the epidermis. Describe the role of the subcutaneous layer (hypodermis). Describe the structure and function of hair and its follicle. Describe the structure and function of nails. Identify the activities and location of the various cutaneous glands of the integument. - Sweat glands (Eccrine sweat glands and Apocrine sweat glands) - Sebaceous glands - Cerminous glands - Mammary glands Describe the basic processes by which epidermal wounds and deep wounds heal. Describe the effect of aging on the integumentary system.
