Integumentary SystemIntegumentary System

Integumentary system is composed of the skin.

Provides protection from injury, prevents dehydration, controls body temperature and excrete some wastes through sweating.

EpidermisEpidermis

Outer layer of skin, that is exposed to the environment.

Several cell layers thick to provide a protective barrier against the environment.

DermisDermis

Lies below the epidermis containing several structures. Hair Follicles

Each contains one hair Sebaceous glands

Secrete oils to lubricate skin and hair Sweat Glands

Release wastes and water to cool the body

Skeletal SystemSkeletal System

Comprised mostly of bones Bones are mostly calcium phosphate (Ca2PO4) Bones meet at joints

Ball and socket joints have free movement Hinge joints only move in one direction

Cartilage is flexible and attached to bones. Human embryos are cartilage and then turn into

bones.
