The Integumentary System The Integumentary System of the human body is remarkable and exciting. It is an organ system that covers approximately 20 square feet of protection for the other organ systems of the body. Let’s take a trip through the land of integumentary, making stops along the way. We will visit the different parts of this system and become familiar with their parts and functions. SKIN The first stop on our trip is the skin. The skin forms a barrier of protection, and a first line of

Stratum Corneum this layer is the outer most layers; it is formed from numerous layers of compressed scale- like, overlapping cells. What makes up the surface of the skin is corneocytes, which are commonly called ‘dead skin cells’. Keratinocytes are found in the epidermis they travel up through the layer where they are formed into corneocytes. The stratum corneum layer protects against lights, chemicals, water loss, heat and bacteria. Stratum Lucidum is an additional layer of the skin, found only

Introduction The skin also known as the Integumentary system is the largest organ in the human system; it covers about 20 square feet. The skin has many functions, most of it is having to act as a protection agent. The skin is an important organ because it stops unwanted things from entering the body through the pores. It protects us from microorganisms; it cushions and insult the tissue laying underneath it; it protects the skin from involuntary damages like cuts and bumps; It protects us from

stratified squamous epithelium. It is tough, relatively impermeable, and self-replacing. The epidermis is made up of several layers. Stratum corneum are cells of the cornified layer are dead, protective keratinized that are eventually sloughed off. Stratum granulosum cells are in the granule-cell layer, and they accumulate keratohyalin or darkly stained granules. Stratum spinosum cells are the prickle-layer, and are attached to one another. These cells gradually

formed of four layers as seen through histologic analysis; stratum basale or stratum germinative consisting of single layer of actively dividing squamous cells. The cells rest on basement membrane which divides the epithelium from underlying connective tissue. This layer is of particular significance as the initial dysplastic changes begin in the stratum basale. Second and third layer consist of stratum spinosum (3-5 cell layer thick) and stratum granulosum (2 cell layer thick). As the cells move from

The stratum basale and stratum spinosum, and stratum corneum (forms the hoof capsule) are subdivisions of the epidermis. The five regions of the hoof include the coronary band, the hoof wall, the sole, the frog, and the heel bulbs. Highly specialized subcutaneous tissues within

This chapter comprises the research design, population, data collection, data analysis and data validity and reliability. It highlights on the research design and methodology of the research study used in gathering information, how it was designed and represented. Additionally, it illustrates the area of examination relative to those interviewed. Furthermore, it demonstrates why the Kumasi metropolis was chosen, literature source, data collection techniques, research purpose and data analysis. We

is still taken into consideration as the deepest layer of the skin (Human Anatomy Book, 119). The epidermis, being the most superficial part of the skin, consists of five different layers: stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum (in thick skin only), and stratum corneum. The stratum basale, however, consists of many cells, one of them being melanocytes (Human Anatomy Book, 121). These cells are responsible for the production of melanin,

to aid water loss. Stratum corneum likewise goes about as an obstruction against sunlight, pathogens and chemicals. Stratum Lucidum is the layer of skin that is thick and diverse to different parts of the body this kind of skin can be on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Stratum Granulosum has a different core and is shaped by keratohyalin granules; the proteins inside the granules cause the cells to flatten. As cells go into the following stratum they die. Stratum Spinosum is a few
