Study Notes
Functions of Integumentary System
- Regulates body temperature
- Protects from external damage and infection
- Responds to stimuli, pressure, and pain
- Excretes water, salts, and urea (nitrogenous waste)
- Synthesizes Vitamin D (essential for Ca + P metabolism)
Layers of the Skin
- Stratum corneum synthesizes Vitamin D
- Epidermis is the first defensive barrier of the immune response
- Dermis responds to temperature, pressure, and pain
- Hypodermis is composed of connective tissue
Regulation of Body Temperature
- Integumentary system performs thermoregulation by regulating body temperature
