Chapter 5, Problem I7CRE

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.

This is a picture of Thick Skin - epidermis. Please use arrows to identify the following: stratum corneum stratum lucidum stratum granulosum stratum spinosum stratum basale

Match the following terms with the correct description. Write the letter only. deep region of the dermis composed primarily of dense irregular connective tissue composed of keratinized stratifified squamous epithelial tissue not considered part of the skin, it contains areolar and adipose tissues and blood vessels; attaches skin to underlying tissues and organs superfificial region of the dermis; composed of areolar connective tissue a. ________ subcutaneous layer (hypodermis) b. ________ papillary region c.________ reticular region d. ________ epidermis

You are looking at a slide from a patients sole. Which of the following layers of the epidermis would be present in the sample from your patient's sole, but not if you had taken a sample from the skin at their ankle? : Stratum corneum Stratum basale Stratum lucidum Stratum papillum     In the "ABCD" rule used while diagnosing melanoma, B stands for: : behavior of the lesion blueness of the lesion border of the lesion blood vessels in the lesion

Identify a disease/disorder that directly affects the integumentary system. In your response include a picture of the disease/disorder and define the disorder/disease.  DO NOT tell us what part of the integumentary system is affected, but you can give us clues by telling us in your definition about the symptoms or treatment.
