1. Name the components of the integumentary system.

The integumentary system has four major components, namely, the skin, hair, glands,

and nails. The epidermis and dermis are the two main tissue layers of the skin. The epidermis

is the skin's outermost layer. It is an epithelial tissue layer that sits on the dermis, a thick

connective tissue layer. Hair, on the other hand, is a keratinous filament that emerges from

the epidermis. Then there are glands that generate perspiration, oil, and wax to cool, protect,

and nourish the skin's surface, among other things. Finally, the nail is a thin plate made up of

dead stratum corneum cells containing an extremely hard form of keratin.

22. Define the different categories of burns. How is repair accomplished after each type?

I. Partial-thickness burns - a portion of the stratum basale stays viable, and epidermis

regeneration takes place within the affected area as well as from the burn's rim.

a. First-degree burns - are red as well as painful because they only affect the epidermis.

Slight edema or swelling may occur. They can be caused by sunburn or relatively

short exposure to extremely hot or extremely cold things, and they recover without

leaving scars in about a week.

b. Second-degree burns wreak havoc on both the epidermis and the dermis. Symptoms

of dermal damage include redness, pain, edema, and blisters. Healing takes about two

weeks, and there is no scarring. If the burn penetrates deep into the dermis, the wound
 appears red, tan, or white; it may take several months to heal and may scar. The

epidermis, including the stratum basale, where stem cells are found, is damaged in all

second-degree burns. As a result, the epidermis regenerates from epithelial tissue in

hair follicles and sweat glands, as well as the wound's edges.

II. Full-thickness burns/ third-degree burns - the epidermis and dermis are completely

destroyed, and recovery begins at the burn wound's edges. Third-degree burns are frequently

surrounded by first- and second-degree burns. Although first and second-degree burns are

excruciating, third-degree burns are usually painless because sensory receptors in the

epidermis and dermis have been completely obliterated. Third-degree burns can be white, tan,

brown, black, or a deep cherry red color.
