, PRACTICAL: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Integumentary system is the group system that protect internal living tissue and
organs, protect against invasion by infectious organism that known as skin. Skin is the
largest part or organ in our body that covered the body. The main skin consists into 3 layers
which is epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Epidermis is the outer layer of the skin or the
top of the skin, the part that we can see with eyes. Function of the epidermis is to protect the
skin from harm things and help us to stay healthy. The basic cells of epidermis are
Keratinocytes (skin cells), Melanocytes (pigment producing cells) and Langerhans cells
(immune cells). Dermis is the lower or inner layer. Dermis contain blood vessels, lymph
vessels, hair follicles and glands to produce sweat which help to regulate the body
temperature and sebum to prevent skin from dry out. Many types of cells that we can found
in dermis which is fibroblasts, macrophages, adipocytes, mast cells, Schwan cells and stem
cells. Subcutaneous fat is the bottom layer of skin. Function of Subcutaneous fat is to control
our body temperature and provides a cushion that works as an absorber from surrounding
your vital organs. Integumentary system has multiple roles on homeostasis like include
protection, temperature regulation, sensory reception, and biochemical synthesis.
OBJECTIVE
1. To identify type of layer skins in integumentary system and name the skin layers.
2. To understanding the function of every skins layer through microscopic.
MATERIALS
1. Microscope
2. Slide
3. Cover slip
4. Skin samples
