Integumentary System Integumentary System is: covers the muscular skeletal system, protects as a barrier against infection, regulates body temperature http://www.innerbody.com/image/musfov.html Integumentary System Organs: Skin Tissue: Epithelial tissue, connective
tissue Skeletal Cells: blood cells, fat cells, immune cells, squamous cells http://www.flspinalcord.us/integumentary-system-disease/ Molecules: Proteins, Fats Covers the body Barrier covering the entire body. Provides
structure Covers the body Barrier covering the entire body. Provides structure Immune Protects infection by
prokaryote s, viruses and fungi's entering https://www.medicinenet.com/image-collection/skin_picture/picture.htm Epidermis Outer layer (Thin layer of connective tissue) stops things getting in. Dermis Middle layer contains blood vessels,
nerves, hair follicles, collagen , sweat gland catches bacteria Hypodermis deep layer made of fats for warmth. Temperature Protects infection by prokaryotes, viruses and fungi's entering
If too hot our sweat glands open up and we lose water, and our blood vessels move to the surface to give off heat. If too cold our muscles shiver and we constrict or blood vessels to keep heat in. https://www.medicinenet.com/image-collection/skin_picture/picture.htm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orumw-PyNjw Healthy Integumentary System: 1) Is in tact nil cuts, breaks, abrasions, or bruises. 2) Skin should be warm to touch, have blood flow, nil bumps, blemishes or major discolouration. 3) Have flexibility (good turgor) returning to position within 1second. So What? Summary Key Terms- these are taken from our discussions. Please note these are not exact definitions but provide a general understanding.
Integumentary System: Responsible covering the muscles and bones, protection, and thermoregulation System Organs: skin Tissue: epithelial tissue, connective tissue Cells: squarmous cells, fat cells, etc. Healthy Integumentary system: 1) Is in tact nil cuts, breaks, abrasions, or bruises. 2) Skin should be warm to touch, have blood
flow, nil bumps, blemishes or major discolouration. 3) Have flexibility (good turgor) returning to position within 1 second. Nursing Observations: - Skin check investigate that it is intact - Skin infection check that there are no signs of infection i.e. redness, pain or swelling - Skin Turgor test pinch it and see flexibility https://www.medicinenet.com/image-collection/skin_picture/picture.htm
Epidermis Outer layer (Thin layer of connective tissue) stops things getting in. Dermis Middle layer contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, collagen , sweat gland catches bacteria Hyperdermis deep layer made of fats for warmth.
