1. Homeostatic Imbalances: Integumentary System

2. Stretch Marks
Tearing of the reticular layer of the dermis

3. Bed Sores
-Person lying in same position will prevent blood flow to dermis
-Consequences: Cells die and open wounds form

4. Rickets -Prolonged lack of exposure to sunlight = little vitamin D
-Vitamin D- Helps regulate metabolism of phosphorus and calcium

5. Hirsutism
Excessive body and facial hair

6. Neoplasms
-Growths on/in the skin
-Examples- warts, cysts, skin cancer

7. Burns/Frostbite
Extreme temperatures have a drastic affect on integumentary system
Kill stratum basale in extreme cases

8. Fixing Burns/Frostbite
Skin Grafts
Taking epidermis from a donor site and putting it in a damaged site.

9. Synthetic Skin
-Animal tissue bonded to silicon film

10. Scars
Deep enough cuts cause stratum granulosum to become scar tissue

11. Aging Collagen fibers in dermis become hard and thick
Adipose tissue in hypodermis diminishes
Makes skin thin
Less Epithelial derivatives
