Study Notes

Integumentary and Fascial Systems

  • An organ system is a group of organs working together for a specific function
  • The integumentary and fascial systems are two such organ systems
  • The integumentary system's main component is the skin
  • Integument proper is the skin
  • Integumentary derivatives are structures like hairs, nails, and glands that originate from the skin
  • Fascia is connective tissue
  • Superficial fascia is the layer underneath the skin, also called subcutaneous layer
  • Deep fasciae are layers of fascia beneath the superficial fascia
  • Investing deep fascia is the innermost layer enveloping muscles and other organs
  • The skin has two layers: epidermis and dermis
  • The outermost epidermis consists of flattened, keratin-filled, dead cells
  • The inner dermis contains connective tissue
  • Integumentary derivatives, such as hairs, grow from root cells in the epidermis
  • Hair follicles extend into the subcutaneous layer
  • Nails grow continuously from nail beds on the fingertips and toes
  • Sweat glands produce sweat
  • Sebaceous glands produce oil
  • Mammary glands are only found in females to produce milk
