IntegumentarySystem I
nclude the sk
in and its modifications orderivatives.
Integument:
It serves mainly forprotection and covering
Other functions include:a. Sensation - contains millions of nerve endings.
b. body temperature regulation sweat producedby sweat glands evaporates to cool the skin when
it is hot. Blood vessels also expand so that moreblood comes near the surface, releasing heat tomake the body cooler. If body is cold, bloodvessels contract to conserve heat.

c. Excretion sweat also contains extra saltand water as released through perspiration.
d. synthesize Vitamin D- skin containscholesterol which can be converted bysunlight into vit. D, necessary for mineralabsorption and bone development.
The first line of defense against pathogens-skin protects the body from microorganismscausing infection and disease.
Substances produced by the skin such aspigments also protects the body fromharmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.

IntegumentarySystem
It is composed of the outer, thinner layer
called the epidermis, and the inner thicker
layer called the dermis.
Beneath the two major layers is the
hypodermis or subcutaneous layer, made
up chiefly of adipose tissue or fat cells.

Invertebrate Integument:
Protozoans
Covered by cell membrane.
Paramecium is covered with a firm elasticpellicle.
Worms and arthropods secretes an external,non cellularcuticle as additional covering.
Snails secretes an exoskeleton ofshell.
Arthropods cuticle is toughened by chitin, acarbohydrate which is water proof by a waxynon chitinous outer layer of lipoprotein,cuticulin.

Insects there is sclerotization which is
the formation of a highly resistantand insoluble protein, sclerotin.
Molting outer portion of the skin is
shed, the new cuticle is thickened andcalcified or sclerotized.

Keratin a tough fibrous proteinaccumulates in the interior of the cells.
All metabolically active cytoplasm is replacedgradually by keratin. Cell dies and eventuallyshed.
Process is called keratinization and thetransformed is said to be cornified.
Stratum corneum is consists of cornifiedcells which are highly resistant to abrasion
and water diffusion. Areas exposed to pressure or friction such as
calluses in human palms and soles havethick epidermal layer.

Sweat glands in humans cools the body.
Sebaceous glands- secretes a fatty, oilysubstance that keeps the skin and hair
pliable.
Subcutaneous fats in seals and whales
insulate the body and keep it warm.
Pigment is scattered throughout the skin
and is concentrated in the epidermis.
Human skin has scanty hair which suggeststhat man originated in a warm environment.

Chromatophores- special pigment scatteredthrough the layers of the epidermis in
mammals. Melanin a group of black and brown
pigments.

The Epidermis
The epidermis has an outer layer of dead
cells (stratum corneum), and an inner layer
of epithelial and dividing cells (statum
germinativum).
Melanocytes are cells which produce the
pigment cells called melanin.
It has no blood vessels and nerves.

supporting the epidermis and reticular layer,
which consists of a dense network of coarse

nutrients to the bone and takes away wastes.Spongy bone has many spaces and is found
in the ends of long bones and in the middlespaces.
Compact bone with few spaces and is densewhich provides support in long bones as inhumerus and femur.

Red Bone Marrow material that produces
blood cells.
Yellow bone marrow mostly of fat cells often
found in the cavities within shafts of long
bones.

Fetal skeleton is mostly of cartilage, a tough ,
flexible connective tissue, which is mostly
replaced by bone at the same time the babyis born.
As the baby grows, most of the remaining
cartilage is replaced by harder bones.Bone replaces cartilage until a person is 25
years old.
Cartilage in the ears, tip of the nose, and the
cushions of the vertebrae of the spine
persists throughout life.

Injuries and Disorders:
1. Sprained ankle- joint is twisted and the
ligaments and tendons are injured.2. Bursitis results when an injury causes too
much fluid to move into the bursae ( fluid-filled sacs in joints). Joints swell and tender.
3. Arthritis - disease of joints to becomeinflamed and painful.
4. Broken bone and fractures- results fromaccidents.
Bones heal over time with proper medicalattention cause periosteum produces newbone cells.

Functions oractions of muscles: responsible for
the different movements produced.
Action of muscles:
1. work together (synergism) or
2. work against each other (antagonism)
Three types of muscles:1. Skeletal attached to bones
2. Smooth involuntary muscle of the internal
organs.3. Cardiac - muscles of the heart
-

44/98
Two types of Muscle action:
1. Voluntary under conscious control.
2. Involuntary not under conscious control.Skeletal Muscles
Attached to the bones.
Voluntary
With striations. Do not undergo cytokinesis after mitosis- nucleus
divides but the cell does not.
Long fibers with many nuclei.
More mitochondria. Contraction moves apart of the skeleton to which it
is attached.

Smooth Muscles
Involuntary muscles of internal organs.
Not under conscious control.
Controlled partly by the nervous system and
partly by the hormones of the endocrine
system. Each muscle cell contains one nucleus and is
not striated.
Found in the intestine, stomach and blood
vessels

order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all
parts of the body This is done through breathing.

Air enters the nostrils
passes through the nasopharynx, to

FrequentlyAsked Questions
Why Do I Yawn?
When you are sleepy or drowsy the lungs
do not take enough oxygen from the air. This
causes a shortage of oxygen in our bodies.The brain senses this shortage of oxygen and
sends a message that causes you to take a
deep long breath---a YAWN.

FrequentlyAsked Questions
Why Do ISneeze?
Sneezing is like a cough in the upper
breathing passages. It is the body's way of
removing an irritant from the sensitivemucous membranes of the nose. Many things
can irritate the mucous membranes. Dust,
pollen, pepper or even a cold blast of air are
just some of the many things that may cause
you to sneeze.

FrequentlyAsked Questions
What Causes Hiccups?
Hiccups are the sudden movements of the
diaphragm. It is involuntary --- you have no
control over hiccups, as you well know. Thereare many causes of hiccups. The diaphragm
may get irritated, you may have eaten to fast,
or maybe some substance in the blood could
even have brought on the hiccups.

The Heart
The heart of a vertebrate is composed of
cardiac muscle, an involuntary muscle
tissue which is found only within this
organ.
The average human heart beating at 72
BPM, will beat approximately 2.5 billion
times during a lifetime spanning 66 years.

Systemic circulation is the portion of the
cardiovascular system which carries
oxygenated blood away from the heart, tothe body, and returns deoxygenated blood
back to the heart.
The coronary circulatory systemprovides a blood supply to the heart. As it
provides oxygenated blood to the heart, it
is by definition a part of the systemic
circulatory system.

Pulmonary circulation is the portion of thecardiovascular system which carries oxygen-
depleted blood away from the heart, to thelungs, and returns oxygenated blood back tothe heart.
De-oxygenated blood enters the right atrium of
the heart and flows into the right ventriclewhere it is pumped through the pulmonaryarteries to the lungs. Pulmonary veins returnthe now oxygen-rich blood to the heart, whereit enters the left atrium before flowing into theleft ventricle.
