Often simply viewed as "skin," the intergumentary system is actually much more complex. In this unit you will discover that this system is composed of all four of the body's tissue types and that it is highly integrated with the nervous and the circulatory systems. This unit is short. Your goal is to:
a) be able to identify and label all the structures associated with the skin.
b) understand the functions of the integumentary system and its structures.
c) specifically explain how the integumentary system, nerves and blood vessels work together to maintain constant body temperature (homeostasis).
Assignment 1: Click here to see view introductory lesson on the integumentary system. Take notes and complete the worksheet on The Integumentary System (handout) as you go.
Use the following short videos entitled the "Integumentary System" and "Skin" to review what you have learned.
Assignment 2: Take notes on the following lesson on Burns. Click here to view lesson.
Assignment 3: Discuss with your instructor the role the integumentary system plays in maintaining a constant body temperature (homeostasis).
Quiz: Quiz will have a format similar to the test on the musculo-skeletal system. There will be some vocabulary to match, a diagram to label, and questions on the functions of the system. Review, then take the quiz as soon as you think you are ready.
