Understanding The Integumentary: Skin Of The Body

1. The clear, keratinized portion of a fingernail is known as the nail _PLATE_. It has a root, body, and free edge.

The integumentary system is the skin and its derivatives; it provides external protection for the body. Its characteristics are: covers the entire body, accounts for about 7% of total body weight, pliable, yet durable, thickness: 1.5 to 4.0 mm, composed of the epidermis and dermis.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, covering and protecting the entire surface of the body. The total surface area of the skin is around 3000sq inches depending on age, height and body size. As well as the nails, hair, sweat glands and the sebaceous glands, the skin forms the integumentary system. Besides oroviding protection to the body, the skin also helps regulate body temperature, helps your

The skin I’m In is a realistic fiction written by Sharon G. Flake. This was her first novel and was originally published by Hyperion in 1998.  It tells the story of a seventh grader named Maleeka Madison who is teased by her classmates due to her dark skin color. It is written in first person point of view from the perspective of Maleeka.

B5 - Summarize the major functions of the integumentary system and give examples on how this system relates to at least two other organ systems. The 5 Major functions of the skin: 1. Protection o The integumentary system protects the human body in two ways – physically and chemically.

The Visions and Ciphers passage of “The Skin We Ink” by David Kirkland tells a story of literacy as it relates to a black male. Similarly, Ta-Nehisi Coates’ excerpt from his novel Between the World and Me records his own literacy experience as a black male. Delving deeper than their surface similarities of black male literacy, these two writings also explore the reason for literacy in their subjects’ lives. According to Kirkland there is an assumptions of black males' "lack of literacy [that] relates to assumptions of their lack of humanity" because "literacy is a human issue, and by denying literacy, one also denies a person's humanity".

1. Name and describe the function of each major organ system in the body. a. Integumentary system – The integumentary system consists of the hair, skin, and nails and is the largest organ in the human body. It acts as a protector of the deeper body systems, maintains and regulates body temperature, and helps to eliminate waste and toxins from the body. It also senses touch and pressure as well as temperatures and pain.

Have you ever realised how amazing our skin is? It's waterproof, stretchy, very durable and keeps our whole body in one piece. It's also the largest organ in our body. Can you imagine if we didn't have any skin? All of our organs would just fall all over the place. Your hair, nails, skin, sweat glands, and oil glands are all part of the integumentary system. By definition, your integumentary system is a complex group of tissues working together to ensure your survival.

The Integumentary System is mainly composed skin, hair, and nails. These things are usually found outside the body and are meant to protect the body from outside factors. Usually when the body receives a cut, your Integumentary System, works with other systems like the nervous system and the immune system to heal that wound. Minor things like lacerations, abrasions, and small puncture wounds don’t bleed very much. The Integumentary System, along with other systems, help it to heal fast. When you get major injuries; it can be more difficult to repair and can sometimes lead to cell damage. Deep puncture wounds, avulsions, and burns are some very major injuries that can affect your body in a number of ways. Burns can be either partial-thickness

The Integumentary system is where the initial symptoms of Scleroderma will appear. At the beginning stages, the skin will begin to harden and thicken primarily on the fingers but eventually hands, feet, face, and other skin areas on the body. Fingers typically swell and tighten resulting in restricted finger motion. Over time, the tightness of the skin will become more severe so that every day movements such as opening mouth, chewing food, and bending fingers may be lost. In some cases, the places where skin has hardened and thickened will lose the ability to sweat and grow hair.

My discussion paper for the Integumentary System was on Vitiligo. In this article, 75 people participated in a clinical study to develop self-help for social anxiety associated with vitiligo. Vitiligo is a skin disorder from the destruction of melanin producing cells that produce white patches on the skin. The point of this study was to see if assisting in teaching self-help intervention could reduce the psychological distress caused from this disease like social anxiety, anxiety and depression. The participants were emailed self-help leaflets, which was a part of an intervention, which discussed psychoeducation, relaxation and attentional refocusing. The first part of the Intervention was asking a series of questions before they were offered

The integumentary system also known as skin; surrounds the entire human body therefore being the largest organ. The skin and its annexes like hair, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, nails, etc. The main functions of the integumentary system is to function as a protective barrier, that keeps our body free from intrusion of foreign materials, microorganisms and prevents dehydration as well as protecting from desiccation and there are other functions also helps in elimination of waste products and in the regulation of our body tempeture. There are many other functions of the integumentary system and each organ involved in this system has its own particular use

Skinner wanted to seek and understand all behaviour with organisms; “what is inside the skin, and how do we know about it?” (Skinner, 1974, p.218). His philosophy stated that there was an interaction between the evolutionary or biological history and environmental interaction with the organism (Skinner, 1953). This lead on to the three basic assumptions to the philosophy of radical behaviourism. The first is that private events such as thoughts and feelings can be described as behaviours; secondly, the only difference between behaviour within the skin and other behaviour is its inaccessibility. Thirdly, private behaviour has no special properties; it is in essence the same as and influenced by similar variables as publically accessible behaviour. Skinner (1974) went on to explain that radical behaviourism aimed to change perception of the study of behaviour and enhance understanding of unobservable behaviour. For example, thinking is an unobservable behaviour or event which involves overt control and private events, however speaking is controlled by private events, but is publicly observable. The problem with analysing private events using public behaviour comes into play when two individuals show the same publically observable behaviour, however the underlying causal routes to the behaviour can be contrastingly different. For instance, one person may go to the cinema with friends because they saw an advert for a film and wanted to be entertained, whereas another may go to
