Study Notes

Integumentary System

Comprises hair, nails, sweat and oil glands, and skin.
Serves as a protective barrier, enables sensory perception, and facilitates waste disposal.

Skin Layer Mnemonic (CLGSB)

"Come, Let's Get Sun Burned" helps remember the order of epidermis layers:
- C: Stratum Corneum
- L: Stratum Lucidum
- G: Stratum Granulosum
- S: Stratum Spinosum
- B: Stratum Basale

Epidermis

The outermost layer of skin.
Consists of four or five layers, depending on skin thickness (e.g., thick skin has five layers).

Dermis

Contains blood vessels, nerve fibers, oil and sweat glands, collagen, and elastic fibers.
Made up of three layers:
- Upper papillary layer: consists of areolar connective tissue.
- Reticular layer: dense connective tissue making up 80% of the dermis.
- Hypodermis: the deepest layer, primarily composed of body fat.
