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
