THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM IS MADE OF THE FOLLOWING: Integument (skin) Hairs Sweat Glands Oil Glands
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM The skin is the largest organ in the body. It covers an area of square feet. The skin weighs approximately 6 pounds.
FUNCTIONS OF THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Protection Excretion Sensation Immunity against disease Maintaining homeostasis
LAYERS OF SKIN EPIDERMIS DERMIS SUBCUTANEOUS LAYER (HYPODERMIS)
THE EPIDERMIS has 5 layers Stratum Corneum Stratum Lucidum Stratum Granulosum Stratum Spinosum Stratum Basale
THE DERMIS Contains many fibers and cells Is made of 2 Regions known as the Papillary Region and Dermal Region
PAPILLARY REGION OF THE DERMIS Binds dermis to epidermis Gives skin its toughness and flexibility. Contains blood vessels that supply nutrients to the skin.
DERMAL REGION OF DERMIS Sebaceous Glands Sudoriferous Glands Sweat Gland Ducts Sweat Gland Pores Melanocytes Hair Follicles Hair Shaft Arrector Pillae muscle Pacinian & Meisner’s Corpuscles
THE SUBCUTANEOUS LAYER This lies beneath the dermis and consists of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue. It helps insulate the body and conserve heat.
