Introduction
The Integumentary System is the organ system that protects the body from many
different types of damage. The integumentary system consists of skin, hair, nails,
glands, and nerves. In our Anatomy and Physiology class we have been focusing more
on the inner layers of the skin, such as the Stratum Corneum, Epidermis, Dermis,
Subcutaneous Layer, and the Hypodermis. We have also been focusing on the glands
and hair follicles. We have mapped our Homunculus to see how they look like. We have
poked each other with a protractor to measure our sensitivity level from our sense
receptors.We did an Iodine experiment in which we put Iodine on a region of hairless
skin to see which areas are more prone to sweating. We have mainly been focusing on
where everything is in the Integumentary System.

Simulation Results:
My head is somewhat sensitive (30mm).
My torso are fairly sensitive (15mm).
My arms are are fairly sensitive (15mm).
My hands are extremely sensitive
(3.75mm)
My legs are somewhat sensitive (30mm).
My feet are extremely sensitive (3.75mm).

In this picture, we read an article called
Lost in the Desert. The article was
basically about a 35 year old man named
Mark that got lost in a desert. Mark was
very dehydrated and had many medical
conditions when paramedics found him.
