BODY SYSTEMS
The Integumentary System
 Includes:
Your skin, hair, nails.
Sebaceous glands, and sweat
glands.
 The skin is the primary organ of
the I.S.
Vital Functions



Protection….Barrier b/t internal organs and
outside world.
Shields from injury, invasion by pathogens,
sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays (UV).
Water – holding capacity that aids in
elasticity and helps maintain body’s balance
of fluids and electrolytes.
Regulates Body Temperature
 Radiation:
the escape of internal
heat from the body.
 Perspiration cools skin as heat
evaporates.
 Conserve body heat.
Sensing
Nerve endings allow
for communication
with the world
around you.
 Touch, pain,
pressure,
temperature.

Structure





Two main layers.
Epidermis: Outermost layer made up of both
living and dead cells.
Lipids – fatty substances that make skin
waterproof.
Dead cells shed off/worn away replaced by
new cells
Outer skin replaced about once a year.





Melanin – pigment that gives skin, hair, and
the iris of the eyes their coloring.
Dermis: Inner layer of skin made up of
connective tissue that gives skin its elasticity.
Nerve endings and Hair follicles.
Sweat glands and Sebaceous glands.
Hypodermis: NOT part of the skin attaches
skin to bone and muscle.
SKIN CARE
 Good
personal hygiene.
 Balanced diet.
 Vitamin A.
 SUNSCREEN/MOISTURIEZER.
PROBLEMS OF THE SKIN


by ring-shaped, scaly, reddened, blistery
patches.

between the toes. Associated with wearing
shoes and sweating, highly contagious.

usually an infected hair-follicle.
WARTS: contagious growths on the outer
layer of the skin caused by a virus.
MOLES: small, usually round, thickened,
brown to dark brown spots on the skin.
Harmless unless suddenly appears, changes
color, shape, size, begins bleeding.

PSORIASIS: diseases in which thickened
patches of inflamed red skin form, often
covered by white flaking scales.
VITILIGO: a disorder in which patches of skin
lose their color. Auto-immune disorder that
causes an absence of the skin cells that
produce melanin.
IMPETIGO: an infection in which bacteria enter
a small break in the skin. Highly contagious.
