Subcutaneous Layer
The first layer below the cutaneous membrane is called the subcutaneous layer. It is also known as the hypodermis and superficial fascia. Although this layer helps stabilize the integumentary system and shares some characteristics, it is not technically a part of the integumentary system. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/21902-hypodermis-subcutaneous-tissue Within the subcutaneous…

Dermis
Layers Of The Dermis The dermis layer is located inferior to the epidermis layer in the cutaneous layer. This layer is made of connective tissue and can be divided into two layers: Papillary LayerReticular Layer https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Adult-human-skin-is-a-layered-organ-consisting-of-an-epidermis-and-a-dermis-The_fig1_233976352 The papillary layer of the dermis is the most…

Function and Structure Of The Integumentary System
Function and Structure Of The Integumentary System
The integumentary system is the most recognizable organ in your entire body. It consists of your hair, nails, skin, sebaceous glands sweat glands, mammary glands, and more. Believe it or not, your skin is actually an organ. This makes it visible to the outside world and because of that, clinicians can determine a lot about your general health just by looking at it. The goals of your skin are to…

Nervous Tissue
Without nervous tissue, almost all functions in your body would not occur. The nervous system is responsible for sending electrical signals throughout the body. These tissues are responsible for conscious and unconscious actions like moving an arm and constriction of your blood vessels. The cells of nervous tissue, also known as neural cells, can be classified into two…

#46 Study Biology Section!
#46 Study Biology Section!
For the last year, we have discussed the best way to share information and education through My Biology Experience. We have discussed using notes from classes and materials used in class. But, we found that those materials were hard to read and understand because each person takes notes differently. We have also discussed creating a discussion board where people can post questions and the…

H.A. 101: Membranes
Membranes are a vital component in protecting the body from its surrounding environment. In the human body, membranes are composed of Epithelial and Connective tissue. Each one of these membranes will consist of a sheet of epithelial cells and an underlying connective tissue layer. Membranes can be divided into four main categories: Mucous MembranesSerous MembranesCutaneous MembranesSynovial…

H.A. 101: Connective Tissue
H.A. 101: Connective Tissue
Classification Of Connective Tissue Connective tissue is one of the major tissue groups and is the most abundant tissue in the entire body. Within the category of connective tissue, there are three main components. Connective tissue has specialized cells, extracellular protein fibers, and a matrix. The matrix of Connective tissue is the term used to describe the extracellular component of all…

H.A. 101: Epithelial Cell Classification
H.A. 101: Epithelial Cell Classification
Classification of Layers Classification of Epithelial cells is critical due to their vital and diverse role in the human body. Found from your head to your toes, these cells come in numerous shapes, sizes, and populations. Thus, Epithelial tissue has been divided into two major types of layering patterns and three main shapes. The two layering patterns are: Simple EpitheliumStratified…
