1. What does the term integument mean? The
term integument refers to the skin.
2. What are the accessory structures of the
skin? These structures are hair, nails, and
glands (sweat and oil).
3. What are the functions of the subcutaneous
layer of tissue? It binds the dermis to
underlying structures, stores fats, insulates
and cushions the body, and regulates
temperature.
