Integumentary System
The integumentary system is composed of the skin, nails, and glands
The skin forms a protective covering for the body that, when unbroken, prevents entry of bacteria and other invading organisms. The skin also protects the body from water loss and the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. Other functions include regulation of body temperature and synthesis of vitamin D.
Integumentary System
The Skin
Epidermis outer layer of skin
Keratin horny, or cornified, layer composed of
protein. It is contained in the hair, skin, and nails
Melanin color, or pigmentation, of the skin
Dermis inner layer of skin (also called the true
skin)
The Skin
Sudoriferous (sweat) glands tiny, coiled, tubular structures that
emerge through pores on the skin’s surface and secrete sweat
Sebaceous glands secrete sebum (oil) into the hair follicles
where the hair shafts pass through the dermis
The Skin (accessory structures) Hair
compressed, keratinized cells that arise from hair follicles, the sacs that enclose the hair fibers
Nails originate in the epidermis. Nails are
found on the upper surface of the ends of the fingers and toes . The white area at the base of nail is called the lunula, or moon
