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
