  1. Homeostatic Imbalances:Integumentary System

  2. Stretch Marks Tearing of the reticular layer of the dermis

  3. Bed Sores -Person lying in same position will prevent blood flow to dermis -Consequences: Cells die and open wounds form

  4. Rickets -Prolonged lack of exposure to sunlight = little vitamin D -Vitamin D- Helps regulate metabolism of phosphorus and calcium

  5. Hirsutism • Excessive body and facial hair

  6. Neoplasms -Growths on/in the skin -Examples- warts, cysts, skin cancer

  7. Burns/Frostbite • Extreme temperatures have a drastic affect on integumentary system • Kill stratum basale in extreme cases

  8. Fixing Burns/Frostbite • Skin Grafts • Taking epidermis from a donor site and putting it in a damaged site.

  9. Synthetic Skin -Animal tissue bonded to silicon film

  10. Scars • Deep enough cuts cause stratum granulosum to become scar tissue

  11. Aging • Collagen fibers in dermis become hard and thick • Adipose tissue in hypodermis diminishes • Makes skin thin • Less Epithelial derivatives
