00:00:00.750 --> 00:00:03.829
The integumentary system also known as the dermal system

00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:05.940
is the largest system in the human body.

00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:08.029
It consists of structures that form the

00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:10.640
body's outer covering. And its functions include

00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:13.720
protection against the external environment;

00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:17.610
regulation of body temperature;

00:00:19.049 --> 00:00:21.209
regulation of hydration levels;

00:00:22.950 --> 00:00:28.079
sensory perception of touch, temperature, and pain; and synthesis of vitamin D.

00:00:28.709 --> 00:00:31.239
The major components of the integumentary system

00:00:31.250 --> 00:00:33.680
are the skin and the subcutaneous tissue.

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.169
The skin consists of two layers:

00:00:39.639 --> 00:00:43.549
the epidermis, which is a superficial cellular layer of the skin, and

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.880
the dermis, which is a deep connective tissue layer of the skin.

00:00:46.909 --> 00:00:49.470
The subcutaneous tissue also known as a

00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.919
superficial fascia or hypodermis is the connective tissue

00:00:52.930 --> 00:00:58.299
layer located immediately deep to the dermis consisting of adipose tissue or fat.
