The Integumentary System Research - Spencer Mida by Spencer Mida https://padlet.com/spencermida/nk7jaobatcv7e1uh The following Padlet contains my research on the Integumentary System. en-us 2024-09-26 18:18:16 UTC 2024-09-30 17:44:54 UTC hello@padlet.com https://images.pexels.com/photos/20200314/pexels-photo-20200314/free-photo-of-sunlit-man-hand-palm.jpeg Basic Overview spencermida https://padlet.com/spencermida/nk7jaobatcv7e1uh/wish/3140972040 The integumentary system is essentially your body’s first line of defense. It has your skin, hair, nails, and glands. This outer layer not only protects you but also interacts with other systems in your body. Hair is made of a tough protein called keratin and it grows from follicles in your skin, while nails are also made of keratin, which protects the tips of your fingers and toes. There are also sweat and oil glands in this system, too, helping keep everything balanced (I have more oil glands than I would like)... All of these parts work together to keep your body in good shape!

It shields against harmful UV rays, physical injury, and pathogens like bacteria and viruses. My mother emphasizes the use of sunscreen, as she struggled with melanoma earlier a few years ago. This system is also integral in temperature regulation, utilizing sweat to help maintain an optimal body temperature. The sensation is another key role, in letting us experience the world! Furthermore, when sunlight hits the skin, the integumentary system makes vitamin D which is useful for many body processes!

You might be dealing with eczema, also called atopic dermatitis. This long-term skin condition can sometimes cause redness and, in rare cases, blisters. It’s often brought on by allergies, chemicals, or stress, and can even be passed down through your genes. Though eczema has no cure (which I hope is fixed some day, when I'm a dermatologist), there are ways to keep it at bay. Steroid creams, moisturizers, antihistamines, and changes in diet and exercise can all help manage symptoms.

They have an average salary of around $316,000. they usually work in clinics, hospitals, or private practices. To become a dermatologist, you need a lot of education, including medical school and several years of residency. As experts on the integumentary system, dermatologists help people maintain skin health, which is central to protection and overall well-being! They focus on skin conditions, such as eczema or acne or even more serious topics like skin cancer.

She was diagnosed at a very young age and spoke about being embarrassed by the condition as a child. Suni, now 21 years old has spoken about how itchy and red her skin was and how it seemed as if nothing could help her. Today, her confidence in her own skin has improved, and now she encourages many young people to not be embarrassed of the very common skin condition. As stress and anxiety can cause eczema, Suni also talks about how she has tried to manage her mind in order to reduce flare-ups.
