    The integumentary system performs several important functions such as deeper structural protection, temperature regulation, providing a barrier against external pathogens, discharging waste products, and acting as a sensory interface to the outside world.

    Below is my illustration on the histology art of Integumentary System Body tissues.

    • The skin consists of two layers, the epidermis and the dermis.
      The epidermis is a tough outer layer that serves as the first line of defense against the external environment. It is composed of stratified squamous epithelial cells that further break down into 4-5 layers. From the superficial to the deep, the primary layers are the stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale.
      • The dermis is the underlying connective tissue framework that underpins the epidermis. It is further divided into two layers-the superficial papilla dermis and the deep reticular layer. The dermis as a whole contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves, sweat glands, hair follicles, and various other structures embedded in connective tissue.
