The Epithelial Cell
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.
The epithelial cell is a part of most systems. It lines the surfaces in the body as skin, it lines the lungs, intestines, and any place in the body with an organ. The main body system it is found in is the integumentary system. This

Acne A type of skin cancer is basal skin cancer. This cancer is slow growing and starts in the basal layer of the skin. Basal skin cancer occurs when the skin is regularly exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet radiation. In some cases, it is more common with people who have light skin overexposure to radiation, long term sun exposure, or other things along those lines. Skin bumps can occur and are pearly, waxy, white, or light pink. It can be treated using medical creams, excision or cutting out the skin cancer, or if worst comes to worst, radiation (MedlinePlus). The epithelial cell and epithelial tissue can have many malfunctions, some more common and some more severe. The epithelial cell is an important cell in the human body. It is part of many body systems since it lines the surfaces in the body. The epithelial cell is found mostly in the integumentary systems. The epithelial cell or the skin, protects the body from the outside world, they have many functions. Like all cells, things can go wrong in the epithelial cell like acne or skin cancer. Overall, the epithelial cell is essential in the human
The Integumentary is a vast organ system composed of exocrine glands, hair, nails, and the most commonly known organ, the skin. As a large system, it can be susceptible to many different types of diseases, one of these diseases are called Psoriasis. This affects a large portion of the Integumentary system, the skin. Psoriasis are considered to be a widespread, common and recurring disease that can be chronic at times. Psoriasis are defined by its appearance of light silver in color, flaky, rash on many parts of the Epidermis.
Skin cancer is a condition where cancerous cells form in the epidermis. The epidermis is the first layer of your skin. Melanoma can be on any part of the body (Egan 23-24). This form of skin cancer can be treated in the early stages of formation. Basal cell cancer is one of the most common types of skin cancer, this cancer may also happen on the sun exposed skin and on the face (Egan 10).Squamous cells are the second most common form of skin cancer. Squamous cells form on sun exposed skin (Egan 11). For example, it could potentially form on the shoulders, neck, or hands (Egan 10-11). Each stage of skin cancer may vary depending on the person.
have a variety of systems due to the complexity of the species' organism. The human body
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 body has different organs that work together and they make up a system such as the
The integumentary system also known as skin; surrounds the entire human body therefore being the largest organ. The skin and its annexes like hair, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, nails, etc. The main functions of the integumentary system is to function as a protective barrier, that keeps our body free from intrusion of foreign materials, microorganisms and prevents dehydration as well as protecting from desiccation and there are other functions also helps in elimination of waste products and in the regulation of our body tempeture. There are many other functions of the integumentary system and each organ involved in this system has its own particular use
The human body is like a machine, and like many machines it is made up of many different features and parts. The main anatomical features of the human body include; the cells, skeletal system and muscular system. These systems can relate to/work with other systems within the body. This can include the cardiovascular system working with the digestive system by breaking down food to make the nutrients that are then transported around the body it to function adequately.

Epithelial tissue helps protect your body from moisture loss, bacteria and internal injuries. A very common disease you can get is asthma. Allergens may interact and injure bronchial epithelium which can lead to long- term asthma. In asthma the epithelium loses its superficial layer and destruction of the ciliated cells. In patients with severe
This system is a part of your immune system, along with white blood cells, which is where Hodgkin’s lymphoma starts. Page 4 Lymph nodes are small organs sometimes described as “bean-like” and are located throughout the body in different areas. They are found in groups throughout the abdomen, groin, pelvis, underarms, and neck. In addition to those areas, the spleen is in the lymph system; which makes lymphocytes and filters blood. The thymus and the tonsils are also a part of the system.
The Integumentary System, also known as the skin, is the largest organ of the body. Its complete structure is composed of many different tissues. The skin protects the cow’s body from any bacterial invasions and physical damage. When a cow becomes sick, the skin is the first system that is affected. The integumentary system is composed of three layers: (i) Epidermis, (ii) Dermis, and (iii) Hypodermis or Subcutis. To start with the inner most layer you have the Hypodermis (Subcutis). The Hypodermis consists of connective tissues, elastic fibers and fat. When fat forms a layer of thickness it is called Peniculus Adiposus. Any reserved energy is also stored within the Hypodermis. Then you have the layer, Dermis. The Dermis supports the outer most layer, Epidermis. Dermis consist of collagen, reticular and elastic fibers which plays a large role in the strength and elasticity in the skin; as well as the maintenance and repair of the skin. Lastly, you have the Epidermis. The Epidermis alone consist of four sublayers, (i) Stratum Corneum – outermost horny layer, (ii) Stratum Lucidum – clear layer, (iii) Stratum Granulosum – granular layer, and (iv) Stratum Spinosum – prickly cell layer. The Epidermis is derived from basal membrane Stratum Basale, which presents the openings for the hair follicles. Some of the functions of the skin include: preservation of the cow’s shape, protection from water loss, protection from any physical, chemical and microbial injury imposed by an external agent. An important role of the skin is it balances its Thermoregulation, which is its ability of an organism to regulate its body
The immune system is an important and complex part of the human body, guarding it against bacteria
Physically, keratinized epithelial cells (outermost layer of skin cells) act as a tough waterproof barrier. These keratinized cells are really good at protecting the body from water loss, mechanical and chemical injury, and keeping bacterial cells out of the body. Chemically, a chemical barrier is formed by the production of acidic secretions by the sebaceous (oil) glands. The acidic environment inhibits bacterial growth. 2.
Our body has levels that build up on each other, we have cells that make up tissues, and tissues that makeup organs, and organs that can make up organ system. Each cell type for the function has its own way of functioning in the body, but they all work together to release the necessary fluids the body needs and perform their function.
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).
