Step 1
We have three types of glands: Apocrine, Sebaceous, and Merocrine glands. - Apocrine glands: These glands secrete a fluid in response to stress or hormonal changes. Their ducts typically open into hair follicles, not directly onto the skin surface. - Sebaceous Show more…

Drag each label to the type of gland it describes (sebaceous glands or sudoriferous glands): - Merocrine: secrete products via exocytosis - Sweat secreting: secrete products mostly onto hair follicles - Holocrine: oil producing - Apocrine: secrete products via apoptosis

Integumentary system: SKIN 1. State the different organs that belong to the integumentary system. 2. Describe the major functions of the integumentary system in reference to its role in protection, insulation, Vitamin D synthesis, thermoregulation, and excretion. 3. Describe the structures and features of the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis as they relate to their functions, including: a. Location and type of cells and connective tissue b. Layers present in thick vs thin skin 4. Describe the location and functions of sensory organs in the hair, skin, and nails. 5. Describe the role of the exocrine glands in the skin with respect to protection and thermoregulation. 6. Describe the consequences of high UV radiation exposure in reference to melanin production and DNA structure. 7. In a small paragraph, relate the different stages of burning and their consequences.
