The Integumentary System

After exploring a wide range of topics, we had to narrow them down to just one specific question that we had, this was difficult for me because I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to write about. I knew that I wanted to write about something involving social anxiety, but I was still unsure about the specifics. That is when we went onto the Utah State Library website and we looked for things involving our topics that could help us deepen our understanding of what it was we were going to write about. At first, I tried search terms like “social anxiety problems” and “social anxiety effects on society”. Then as I was scrolling through the articles about the terms I had searched I came across an article called, “Social

The Integumentary system is defined as “an organ system consisting in the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands” (Integumentary System, 1999). This systems main purpose is to protect the body from the environment around it. The skin covers and protects tissues, nerves, veins, and muscles of the body. The hair and nails give extra strength in reinforcing the skin while keeping the body warm and protecting the skin from harmful UV rays. The exocrine glands of the skin include the sudoriferous glands, sebaceous glands, and the ceruminous glands. Each exocrine gland has a different function as well as location in the skin. The following text will explain the effects of melanoma on the integumentary system.

The nervous system is made up of 2 main parts - the spinal cord and the brain. These two parts combine to make the central nervous system and the sensory and motor nerves which form the peripheral nervous system. Neurons process information in the form of electrical signals, namely nerve impulses, which travel along the axon. Charged ions are not able to enter plasma membranes which make neurons have a difference in ion concentration between the inside and the outside of a neuron. This prevents the passive diffusion of Potassium and Sodium ions from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Proteins which act as ion channels and ion pumps are attached to plasma membranes. This allows the ions to be transported across

Skin and its derivatives make up the integumentary system which acts as a barrier between the body and the outside world. Skin has physical, mechanical, chemical, and immunologic components which allow for body temperature regulation, protection against pathogens, cutaneous sensation, and metabolic functions. When the structural integrity of skin is compromised, its functions are impaired leading to major disability or even death.

The integumentary system is the body’s “first line of defence” against harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Although the name sounds very complicated, the integumentary system actually one’s skin. Technically, the skin has two major functions: protection, and absorbing useful nutrients. However, theoretically, the category of protection can be split into many other categories. The “protection” can be split into protecting the body from pathogens, protecting body from dehydration, and protecting body from rapid temperature change. An integumentary has many capillaries below the surface, which can help absorb

The skin is the largest organ in our body which makes up 20.83 square feet on an adult body.* Integumentary system plays a major role in homeostasis that keeps our body in check. Its main function is to act as a shield from the outside environment. It involves three main layers. *The epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Although this organ system is vital, there are many other accessory components that are equally important to the overall health of our body.

There are many things that I do not know about, I learn a lot of things from this discussion.

The integumentary system is composed of the skin; accessory structures, such as the hair and glands; and the subcutaneous tissue below the skin. Skin is considered an organ because it is made up of several different kinds of tissue (Tamparo, 156). The integumentary system is designed to protect the body against infection, trauma, and toxic compounds. The skin may not seem like an important part of the body, but it's actually, very important. It holds receptors for sensations that are essential to individual wellbeing from birth to death. Skin acts as excretory organ and discharges foul smell in the form of sweat, through the sweat glands. It also helps maintain proper temperature of the body, protect the body, and also covers the bony cage

Integumentary system is the largest system of the body. Made with epidermis, dermis hypodermis, hair, and nail. The integumentary system has multiple roles in homeostasis. Protection, temperature regulation, sensory reception, biochemical synthesis and absorption. Temperature sensors located all over the skin pass information about surrounding environment to hypothalamus. If body becomes too hot, the hypothalamus signals the sweat glands to release fluid to help the body cool down and when it is cold the glands close and body loses less fluids. Integumentary system protects body from external environment if it fails viruses and bacteria will be able to enter the body easily.

Review the article, "Address the concern, not the emotion." Note the emotions that arise from each concern.

In the human body, there is such thing that exists that is part of almost every system-the epithelial cell. The epithelial cell is part of many systems, but is most commonly found in the integumentary system. This cell has is part of many like how the cell is bound together as sheets of tissue called epithelia. Lots of people experience malfunctions with this cell like acne, warts, and others. This cells is a part of many body systems, it is part of structures, and has many malfunctions in the human body.

Our complicated body system are made up to trillion of living cells. Each part of the body has its own specialized cells and functions to corroborate with your body. Everyday, our body are constantly making new cells to replace injured and worn out cells so that it can allow the body to function normally. These new cells are made through the division of one cell into two through the process called mitosis. During the process of cell production, it is important to have cell correctly or properly divided. If anything goes wrong during this complicated process, the result of cell becomes cancerous.

The Integumentary System plays an important role in the function of the human body.This system consists of the biggest organ in the body which is the skin.This system has a major protective function in which it protects from the invasion of infectious organisms inside the body. Also, this system helps the body to prevent dehydration and it prevents the change of temperature

The functions of the integumentary system are far more important than most people think. Perhaps it is commonly known that this system, known as the skin, keeps the body together and protects the inner aspects of the body from harm, or cools the body. Those functions are overly simplified and only a fraction of the role this system plays in maintaining the balance, also known as homeostasis, of the body. It can be said that this system is the first line of defense or regulation. It provides these functions: resistance to trauma and infection, barrier functions, Vitamin D synthesis, sensation, and thermoregulation to fill its role (Saladin, Sullivan, & Gan, 2015, p. 177- 178).

We are examining the role the immune system plays within the general day to day operation of the human body. Further examination of the impaired immune system 's profound negative impact on the whole body system, will also be delineated. The human body has structures and processes inside the body that defend against infection and additional harmful foreign bodies. When working appropriately, the immune system detects a diversity of dangers, such as foreign bodies like bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and attacks them, leaving the healthy body tissue alone. The immune system also creates safeguards for the body to prevent disruptions of body processes by new pathogens, traumas, and mutations.
