Integumentary System
“How many of the sun-lover who the
beaches on a warm day ever stop to
consider the contributions and
sacrifices made by their skins? The skin
adsorbs UV radiation, prevents
dehydration, preserves normal body
temperature, and tolerates the chafing
and abrasion of the sand”

Components of
Integumentary system
Epidermis
Dermis
Skin Color
Hypodermis
Nail
Hair
Glands
Two types of skin glands:
Sweat Glands:
1. Apocrine sweat glands
2. Merocrine (eccrine) sweat
glands
Sebaceous glands
Glands
Apocrine Sweat Glands
Communcate with hair follicles,
coiled tubular glands that
produce a sticky, cloudy, &
odorous secretion.
Begin secreting at puberty
The function is controlled by
the nervous system & hormone
Armpit, nipples & groin
Glands
Merocrine sweat glands
Far more numerous & smaller than
apocrine galnds
2 – 5 million merocrine sweat glands
Its secretion depends on
temperature, humidity, physical
activity & stress condition
99% water, NaCl, organic nutrient &
waste product
Glands
Function of Merocrine sweat glands
Cooling the surface of the skin to
reduce body temperature (sensible
perspiration)
Excretion of water & electrolytes
Protection from environmental
hazards
Sweat Glands
Sebaceous Glands
Its secretion is called sebum, a mixtures
of triglycerides, cholesterol, proteins &
electrolytes
Sebum provides lubrication to the skin &
hair, & inhibits the growth of bacteria
Sebaceous follicles are large sebaceous
glands, which never produce hairs, are
loated on the face, back, chest & nipples.
Sebaceous Galnds
Function of Integumentary System
Protection
Maintenance of normal body
temperature
Excretion (salts, water & organic
wastes)
Storage of nutrients
Sensation (touch, pressure &
temperature)
Synthesis of Vitamin D
Function of Integumentary System
Protection
Physical Barrier
Protects the body from UV light
exposure
Prevents from loss of body fluid
pH acid (4-6.8) inhibits the
growth of microorganism
Maintenance of body temperature
Sensoric receptor
Nervous system
Vitamin D3
