1
00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:03,829
The integumentary system also known as the dermal system

2
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:05,940
is the largest system in the human body.

3
00:00:06,210 --> 00:00:08,029
It consists of structures that form the

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,640
body's outer covering. And its functions include

5
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:13,720
protection against the external environment;

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,610
regulation of body temperature;

7
00:00:19,049 --> 00:00:21,209
regulation of hydration levels;

8
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:28,079
sensory perception of touch, temperature, and pain; and synthesis of vitamin D.

9
00:00:28,709 --> 00:00:31,239
The major components of the integumentary system

10
00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:33,680
are the skin and the subcutaneous tissue.

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,169
The skin consists of two layers:

12
00:00:39,639 --> 00:00:43,549
the epidermis, which is a superficial cellular layer of the skin, and

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,880
the dermis, which is a deep connective tissue layer of the skin.

14
00:00:46,909 --> 00:00:49,470
The subcutaneous tissue also known as a

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,919
superficial fascia or hypodermis is the connective tissue

16
00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:58,299
layer located immediately deep to the dermis consisting of adipose tissue or fat.
