The Integumentary System 7. List the sensory receptors found in the dermis of the skin. Accessory Organs of the Skin 8. Match the key choices with the appropriate descriptions. Some terms are used more than once. Key: a. arrector pili b. cutaneous receptors c. hair d. hair follicle e. nail f. sebaceous gland g. sweat gland-apocrine h. sweat gland-eccrine 1. tiny muscles, attached to hair follicles, that pull the hair upright during fright or cold 2. sweat gland with a role in temperature control 3. sheath formed of both epithelial and connective tissues 4. less numerous type of sweat-producing gland; found mainly in the pubic and axillary regions 5. primarily dead/keratinized cells (two responses from key) 6. specialized nerve endings that respond to temperature, touch, etc. 7. secretes a lubricant for hair and skin 9. Describe two integumentary system mechanisms that help regulate body temperature. 10. Several structures of the hair are listed below. Identify each by matching its letter with the appropriate area on the photomicrograph.
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.
