LABORATORY ACTIVITY # 2: THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM


Materials needed: Paper/s (8.5 x 11” – Letter-sized paper)
Pen – black/blue – your preference.
Ruler
Crayons/coloring pens – your preference.
Possible sources of answers: Textbook/s suggested. If from the internet, please indicate the website
source.
Learning Outcomes: • List several important functions of the skin, or integumentary
system.
• Identify the following skin structures on a model, image, or
microscope slide: epidermis, dermis (papillary and reticular
layers), hair follicles and hair, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands.

THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM


• The skin, the body’s largest organ, covers the entire outside of the body. The skin and its
accessory structures make up the integumentary system. Its many roles include protecting body
against heat, light, injury and infection. It also regulates body temperature; gathers sensory
information from the environment; stores water, fat and vitamin D; and plays a role in the immune
system protecting from disease.
• There are two general types of skin: thin and hairy, and thick and hairless. Hairy skin is more
prevalent. Thick and hairless is found on parts of the body that are most used, enduring significant
friction, such as the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet.
• The skin is made of multiple layers of cells and tissues, which are held to underlying structures by
connective tissue. The skin has three layers that differ in function, thickness and strength. The
epidermis is the tough protective outer layer that contains the melanin-producing melanocytes
which have a role in skin pigmentation. The second layer is the dermis, containing nerve endings,
sweat glands, oil glands and hair follicles. Finally, a fatty layer of subcutaneous tissue, known
as the subcutis or hypodermis, provides insulation and cushioning to act like a shock absorber
for vital organs. The epidermis does not contain blood vessels, meaning it is avascular. The dermis
contains blood vessels and so is vascular.
• Cells in the skin’s deepest layers are nourished by diffusion from blood capillaries that are present
in the upper layers of the dermis. Diffusion provides nourishment and waste removal from the
cells of the dermis, as well as for the cells of the epidermis.
