Integumentary System:Function: T he integumentary system serves as a sheet of protection for the body from externalthings in our world. It also plays a large role in sensual perception, regulates body temperature,storage of vitamins, sugars, water, and fat, absorbs, excretes, and produces vitamin D all for ourbody. Without the integumentary system we would be exposed to all of the small bacteria in theworld and living healthy would virtually be impossible.Key Terms:Derm/o: SkinKerat/o: H ardXer/o: DryXanth/o: YellowErythr/o: R edPedicu/o: LiceOnych/o: NailMyc/o: FungusPil/o: HairLip/o: F atRhytid/o: WrinkleAlbin/o: W hiteVocabulary:Epidermis: the outer layer of cells covering an organism, in particular.Dermis: t he thick layer of living tissue below the epidermis that forms the true skinSubcutaneous fascia: the lowermost layer of the integumentary system in vertebratesSudoriferous Glands: small tubular structures of the skin that produce sweatSebaceous Glands: small gland in the skin which secretes a lubricating oily matterHair: U sed for protection of the skinNails: S heet of protection for fingersPore: opening in a surface in which gases, liquids, or microscopic particles can pass.Sensory Nerve: a nerve that carries sensory information toward the central nervous systemReticular Layer: t he lower layer of the dermis, found under the papillary dermisDiseases/ Disorders:RingWorm: Highly Contagious fungal Infection.Warts:A small, fleshy bump on the skin or mucous membrane caused by human papillomavirus.Acne: inflamed or infected sebaceous glands in the skinSkin Cancer: U ncontrollable rate of abnormal skin cells.
