Integumentary system

Epidermis

The dermis provides strength and elasticity to the skin and contains blood vessels, nerves, and glands.

Melanocytes produce melanin, which gives skin its color and protects against UV radiation.

Sebaceous glands secrete sebum, an oily substance that lubricates and waterproofs the skin.

Sudoriferous glands produce sweat, which helps regulate body temperature.

Adipose tissue is a type of fat tissue found in the hypodermis, providing insulation and energy storage.

Dermatitis

Blood vessels in the dermis help regulate body temperature and supply nutrients to the skin.

As we age, the dermis thins, leading to wrinkles and reduced elasticity.

Hair follicles are responsible for producing hair and are associated with sebaceous glands.
