1. The Integumentary System By: Nathan Mooney & Justin Franklin

2. Skin Made of several layers: -Epidermis -Dermis -Hypodermis Allows for the growing of hair With-holds many glands secreting sweat and oils (which are often by- products of other bodily functions)

3. Hair Consists of 3 main parts: -Follicle -Root -Shaft Made of dead skin cells Covers almost all of the body Helps protect the body from UV damage Traps warm air from exiting the skin, creating an isolation of sorts

4. Nails Made of 3 parts: -Root -Body -Free edge Also made of dead skin cells Grow from the “Nail Matrix” Give structure to the ends of fingers and toes

5. Sudoriferous Glands Found in the dermis Commonly known as the “Sweat Gland” 2 different types: -Eccrine glands: Secrete sweat straight to the surface of the skin -Apocrine glands: Send sweat to the surface via a duct

6. Ingrown Nails (Onychocryptosis) Caused by the ridged cutting & regrowing of toe/finger nails Possible symptoms: -Ridged cutting of nails -Nails growing into/through the surface of the skin Most common on the big toe Can be self-treated if found early enough May lead to infection, and even require slight surgery

7. Shingles (Herpes Zoster) Comes from dormant chickenpox virus. Possible symptoms: -Headache -Dizziness -Sensitivity to light -Irritated skin Forms as a painful/blistering rash Lasts for 2-4 weeks

8. Relationship with the Nervous System Much of the nervous system’s receptors reside within the skin, allowing for it to take in lots of data on external conditions, such as temperature, pressure, or dangers. With this information, the body is able to balance its-self accordingly and maintain homeostasis.

9. Relationship with the Excretory System While sweating, not only are you cooling down your body, youre also ridding of tiny amounts of waste with each drop.
