INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
The integumentary system is an organ
system consisting of the skin, hair, nails,
and exocrine glands. The skin is only a
few millimeters thick yet is by far the
largest organ in the body.


INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
Why do we need
Skin?
-Skin protects you by keeping
moisture in your body and foreign
particles out of your body
-Skin keeps you in touch with the
outside world. The nerve endings
in your skin allow you to feel
whats around you

-Skin helps regulate your bodys
temperature..
-Skin helps get rid of wastes.
Several types of waste
chemicals can leave the
bloodstream and be removed in
sweat.

GLANDS
THE SKIN




1. skin
a. epidermis (superficial epithelium)
b. dermis (under lying connective tissue
layer)
2. hair
3. nails
4. glands
The two layers
-The epidermis is the
thinner layer of the two. It
is what you see when you
look at your skin
-The deeper, thicker layer is
known as the dermis
- Subcutaneous Layer also
known as the hypodermis,is
found between the skin and
any underlying structures
such as muscle or bone

EPIDERMIS

-The epidermis is composed of a type of
epithelial tissue.
-The epidermis is only as thick as two
sheets of notebook paper over most of the
body
-It is thicker in the palms of your hands
and the soles of your feet.


-Most epidermal cells are dead and
are filled with a protein called
keratin, which helps make the skin
tough.
-The Epidermis is made up of
stratified squamos

DERMIS
-The dermis lies underneath the
epidermis
-It is mostly connective tissue, and
it contains many fibers made of a
protein called collagen
-The fibers provide strength and
allow skin to bend without tearing

The Hair
-A hair is formed at the bottom of a
tiny sac called a hair follicle
-The hair grows as new cells are
added at the hair follicle and older
cells get pushed upward
-The only living cells in a hair are in
the hair follicle
FUNCTIONS OF THE HAIR

-Hair protects skin from ultraviolet light
and keeps dust and insects out of your
eyes and nose.
-Hair helps regulate body temperature
The Nails
-a horny covering on the upper
surface of the tip of the finger and
toe in humans and other primates.
-Nails form from nail roots under
the skin at the base and sides of
nails
-As new cells form, the nail grows
longer

FUNCTION OF THE
NAILS

-Nails protect the tips of your
fingers and toes so that they can
remain soft and sensitive
-Nails can tell you your health
body

THE GLAND
There are four types of glands:
Sweat glands - make sweat to control
temperature.
Sebaceous glands - make oil.
Ceruminous glands - make ear wax.
Mammary glands - make milk and are
only in women.
Thin skin-covers most of the
body and is associated with hair
follicles,sebaceous glands,and
sweat glands
Thick skin-has sweat glands but
no sebaceous glands or hair
follicles
