List of Materials
This list of materials shows the quantities needed for a standard 24-seat lab, with six tables and
four seats at each table.
24 compound light microscopes
24 prepared microscope slides of:
Scalp
Scalp, pigmented
Skin, sole of foot
Anatomical model of a skin section
24 handheld magnifying glasses
24 sets of coloring pencils (or students may be required to purchase their own)
To Do in Advance
____ 1. Check microscopes and lights for proper functioning and be sure all are on low
power.
____ 2. Put sets of slides in individual boxes and place on tables.

Additional Student Engagement Ideas
The integumentary system plays a critical role in thermoregulation. After the students
have completed this exercise, have them work in groups to identify what structures in
this system help maintain our body temperature and how. Have them look up
frostbite and heat stroke and explain how each occurs and how each is directly
connected to thermoregulation.
Provide groups of students with short lists of skin disorders. Have the groups look up
each disorder to determine its cause, symptoms, and treatment, and then give a brief
presentation to the class explaining specifically how the integumentary system is
involved and what structures are affected. Some disorders to include might be various
types of skin cancer, vitiligo, decubitus ulcers, hypohidrosis, cellulitis, and jaundice.
While examining the skin model, have students determine where damage would
occur in first-, second-, and third-degree burns.
While students are using the magnifying glasses, have them also look at their
hands and arms to examine any scars they might have. Have them think about
what characteristics of the skin allow some wounds to heal with no visible reminder,
while other wounds leave permanent scars.

Looking Back
An organ has two or more types of the primary tissues functioning together. The cutaneous
membrane has epithelium in the epidermis and dense irregular connective tissue, along with
accessory structures, including muscle, in the dermis.
An organ system is composed of two or more organs that function together. The cutaneous
membrane contains the integument, itself an organ, and multiple other organs, such as hair
follicles, glands, nails, and so on.

2. a. Ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) stimulates melanocytes deep in the epidermis, which
then produce and secrete melanin. The accumulation of melanin darkens the skin.
b. Melanin protects us from genetic damage that can be caused by exposure to UV
radiation. This genetic damage can lead to cancer. The more that you suntan, whether
from sun exposure or in tanning beds, the more exposure you experience to this
harmful radiation, and the effects can be cumulative.
3. Arrector pili muscles tug on hair follicles, causing them to stand more upright and
causing the hair to stand up. Additionally, contraction of these muscles aids in the
release of sebum from sebaceous glands, helping it move to the surface of the skin.
