Integumentary System
A terrible collision between a trailer truck and a bus has occurred on Route 91. Several of the passengers are rushed to area hospitals for treatment. We will follow a few of these people in clinical case studies that will continue through the book from one organ system to the next.
Examination of Mrs. DeStephano, a 45-year-old woman, reveals several impairments of homeostasis. Relative to her integumentary system, the following comments are noted on her chart:
Epidermal abrasions of the right arm and shoulder
Severe lacerations of the right cheek and temple
Cyanosis apparent
The lacerated areas are cleaned, sutured (stitched), and bandaged by the emergency room (ER) personnel, and Mrs. DeStephano is admitted for further tests.
Relative to her signs:
What benefit is conferred by suturing the lacerations?

The Integumentary System Assignment
The integumentary system is a great example of the hierarchy within the levels of anatomical organization. For this assignment, you are going to apply what you learned about these levels, specifically to the integumentary system.
Below is a visual tool (you are not required to present your answer in that format) to guide you through this assignment. Your job will be as follows:
Fill in all of the structures within the integumentary system that fit into each level or organization.
For example, one of the structures that would fit into the "tissue level" might be areolar connective tissue.
Describe how the components of each level fit together to create the next higher level in 2-3 sentences.
For example, how does the buildup of the cellular level lead to the development of the tissue level?
You will be compiling the components of the cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system levels, not the chemical or organism levels.
Many organs of the body contain numerous smaller organs, perhaps even thousands.Describe an example of this in the integumentary system
One of the many functions of the integumentary system is protection. Describe two ways that the integumentary system is protective (i.e., what it protects against and how).

- Answer the following questions about the integumentary system. Name each of the five sublayers of the epidermis in order from superficial to deep. For each layer, describe one unique characteristic and name the type of cells found there. Next, make a sentence to help you remember the order of the layers. Use the first letter of the second part of each layer (for example use the letter G for stratum granulosum) since they all start with "stratum." Put together a sentence with 5 words that start with the letters. For example I think "Please Make A Taco" to help me remember prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.arrow_forwardJeremy is a 14-year-old with a bad case of acne.
