Chapter 4- Integumentary System Flashcards
The structure of the integumentary system is from superficial to Deep, it is made up of 3 layers?
- Epidermis
- Dermis
- Subcutaneous tissue (Ct to help maintain the cutaneous)
What are the functions of the Integumentary System ?
- Protection (barrier, cushioning, monitoring(sensory
nerves),UV) - Thermoregulation (constrict through the cold and dilates in the
heat) - Blood Reservoir- (8-10% of the blood is in the dermis)
- Excretion
- Vitamin Synthesis (helps with Vitamin D Synthesis and Calcium
Absorption)
The Epidermis is a ————layer, —————-epithelium and ……………?
