Integumentary System Integumentary System is: covers the muscular skeletal system, protects as a barrier against infection, regulates body temperature http://www.innerbody.com/image/musfov.html

Tissue: Epithelial tissue, connective tissue Integumentary System Organs: Skin Tissue: Epithelial tissue, connective tissue Skeletal Cells: blood cells, fat cells, immune cells, squamous cells Molecules: Proteins, Fats http://www.flspinalcord.us/integumentary-system-disease/

Protects infection by prokaryotes, viruses and fungi's entering Epidermis – Outer layer (Thin layer of connective tissue) stops things getting in. Dermis – Middle layer – contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, collagen , sweat gland – catches bacteria Hypodermis – deep layer – made of fats for warmth. Immune Protects infection by prokaryotes, viruses and fungi's entering https://www.medicinenet.com/image-collection/skin_picture/picture.htm

Protects infection by prokaryotes, viruses and fungi's entering Temperature Protects infection by prokaryotes, viruses and fungi's entering If too hot – our sweat glands open up and we lose water, and our blood vessels move to the surface to give off heat. If too cold – our muscles shiver and we constrict or blood vessels to keep heat in. https://www.medicinenet.com/image-collection/skin_picture/picture.htm

Healthy Integumentary System: Is in tact – nil cuts, breaks, abrasions, or bruises. Skin should be warm to touch, have blood flow, nil bumps, blemishes or major discolouration. Have flexibility (good turgor) – returning to position within 1second.

So What. Summary Key Terms- these are taken from our discussions So What? Summary Key Terms- these are taken from our discussions. Please note these are not exact definitions but provide a general understanding. Integumentary System: Responsible covering the muscles and bones, protection, and thermoregulation System Organs: skin Tissue: epithelial tissue, connective tissue Cells: squarmous cells, fat cells, etc. Epidermis – Outer layer (Thin layer of connective tissue) stops things getting in. Dermis – Middle layer – contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, collagen , sweat gland – catches bacteria Hyperdermis – deep layer – made of fats for warmth. Healthy Integumentary system: Is in tact – nil cuts, breaks, abrasions, or bruises. Skin should be warm to touch, have blood flow, nil bumps, blemishes or major discolouration. Have flexibility (good turgor) – returning to position within 1 second. Nursing Observations: Skin check – investigate that it is intact Skin infection – check that there are no signs of infection i.e. redness, pain or swelling Skin Turgor test – pinch it and see flexibility https://www.medicinenet.com/image-collection/skin_picture/picture.htm
