The Integumentary
System
![Page 2: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Living things have their own “fences” and none is as important as the skin –
the boundary that separates the human body from the outside world.
“SKIN” - the single largest organ in the body

Integumentary (ihn-tehg-yoo-MEHN-ter-ee)System
What does the word integument means?
-it comes from a Latin word that means to cover, reflecting the fact that the skin and its accessory structures form a covering
over the entire body.
![Page 4: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What make up the Integumentary
System?
![Page 5: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The skin and its accessory organs --- the hair, nails and a
variety of glands.

What is the most important function of the Integumentary System?
-PROTECTION
It performs this function by acting as a barrier against infection and injury; helping
to regulate body temperature; removing waste products from the body; and
providing protection against ultraviolet radiation form the sun.
![Page 7: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Because the main component of the integumentary system, the skin, contains
several types of sensory receptors, it serves as the gateway through which
sensations such as pressure, heat, cold, and pain are transmitted to the nervous
system.
![Page 8: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Epidermis
![Page 9: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin.
Most of the cells of the epidermis undergo rapid cell division (mitosis). As new cells are produced, they plush the older cells to the surface of the skin. Here are the older cells become flattened, lose their cellular contents. And begin making keratin.

What is keratin?
- a tough fibrous protein
In humans, it forms the basic structure of hair, nails, and calluses. In other animals, keratin is more versatile --- forming cow horns, reptile scales, bird feathers, and
porcupine quills.
![Page 12: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Keratinocytes, the keratin-producing cells, die and form a tough, flexible waterproof covering on the surface of the skin. This
outer layer of dead cells is shed or washed away at a surprising rate – once over 14 to
28 days.
![Page 13: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The epidermis also contains melanocytes, or cells that produce melanin, a dark pigment. Although light-skinned and
dark-skinned people have roughly the same number of melanocytes, the
difference in their skin color is caused by the amount of melanin the melanocytes
produce and distribute. There are no blood vessels in the epidermis, which explains
why a slight scratch will not cause bleeding.

Dermis
![Page 16: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is dermis?
It is the innermost layer of the skin. It lies beneath the epidermis and contains blood vessels, nerve endings, glands, sense organs, smooth muscles, and hair follicles.
![Page 17: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

How does our body adopt during hot
and cold day?
![Page 19: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When the body needs to conserve heat on cold day, the blood vessels in the dermis narrow, helping to limit heat loss. On hot days, the blood vessels widen, warming the skin and increasing heat loss. Beneath the dermis is the hypodermis, a layer of fat and loose connective tissue that insulates the body.

What are the two major types of glands
contained in the dermis?
![Page 22: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sweat glands and Sebaceous or oil glands
These glands pass through the epidermis and release their products at the surface of the skin. Sweat glands produce the watery secretion known as sweat, which contains salts, water, and other compounds.
![Page 23: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: The integumentary system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555d1009d8b42ac4258b4738/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
These secretions are stimulated by nerve impulses that cause the production of sweat when the temperature of the body is raised. Sebaceous glands produce an oily secretion known as sebum that spreads out along the surface of the skin and keeps the keratin-rich epidermis flexible and waterproof.
