Study Guide for Chapter 4 Integumentary System
Body Membranes & The Skin
1. What are the 2 main categories of body membranes?
2. List 3 types of epithelial membranes and identify where each would be found in the body (examples).
3. What are synovial membranes?
4. List 4 functions of skin.
5. What does the integumentary system consists of?
6. Identify the 3 main layers of skin (from outermost to innermost layer).
7. List the 5 zones or strata that make up the epidermis (outermost to innermost).
8. What 3 pigments determine skin color?
9. Identify 3 – 4 appendages (outgrowth) of skin.
10. What is the scientific name for “oil” glands?
11. What is the scientific name for “sweat” glands?
12. Another name for hypodermis is _________________________.
13. What is the scientific name for “fat”? _____________________
14. Identify the 2 types of sweat glands. Which one is the most numerous? Where is each type found in the body?
15. Label the diagram of skin. (#2 skin diagram)
16. What are “burns”? How are they classified?
17. List the symptoms for each category of burns.
18. What is the “rule of nines”? (be able to estimate the extent of burns by using
19. the rule of nines)
20. What 2 layers makeup the dermis?
21. List 5 examples of homeostatic imbalances of skin. Write the cause of each example. (study chart “disorders of
skin” )
22. List 3 – 4 functions of membranes, in general, in the body.
**Be familiar with specific characteristic for each layer of skin. Students will also need to label a diagram of
skin and know the percentages of each area of skin on the body.
Learning Objectives:
1) Classification of Body Membranes
4.1.1_____ List the general functions of each membrane type-cutaneous, mucous, serous, and synovial-and
give its location in the body.
4.1.2_____ Compare the structure (tissue makeup) of the major membrane types.
2) Identification/Structure of the Integumentary System
4.2.1_____ When provided with a model or diagram of the skin, recognize and name the major and minor
parts.
4.2.2_____ Name the layers of the epidermis and describe the characteristics of each.
3) Function of the Integumentary System
4.3.1_____ List several important functions of the integumentary system and explain how these functions
are accomplished.
4.3.2_____ Describe the distribution and function of the epidermal derivatives-sebaceous glands, sweat
glands, and hair.
4.3.3_____ Name the factors that determine skin color and describe the function of melanin.
4) Homeostasis/Disorders of the Integumentary System
4.4.1_____ Differentiate between first-, second-, and third-degree burns.
4.4.2 _____ Explain the importance of the "rule of nines."
4.4.3 _____ Summarize the characteristics of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and
malignant melanoma.
