INTRODUCTION
1. BACKGROUND
The integument system is an organ system that distinguishes, separates, protects, and
informs animals about their surroundings. This system is often the largest part of the
organ system that includes the skin, hair, feathers, scales, nails, sweat glands and
products (sweat or mucus). This word is derived from the Latin "integumentum",
which means "cover".
Scientifically, the skin is the outermost layer that exists outside the tissue found
on the outside that covers and protects the body surface, the skin is the most surface
organ covering the entire outer part of the body so that the skin as a body protector
against chemical hazards.
Sunlight contains ultraviolet light and protects against microorganisms and maintains
body balance. eg pale, yellowish, reddish or increased skin temperature.
Psychic disorders can also cause abnormalities or changes in the skin, because the
stress, fear, and anger will result in changes in the skin.

DISCUSSION
2.1 Understanding
The integument system is an organ system that differentiates, separates, protects, and
informs the animal about its surrounding environment. This system is often the largest part
of the organ system that includes skin, hair, hair, scales, nails, sweat glands and products
(sweat or mucus). This word comes from the language Latin "integumentum", which
means "cover".
The skin is a layer of tissue on the outside covering and protecting the body
surface, associated with mucous membranes lining the cavities, the entrance
holes. On the surface of the skin empties into sweat glands and mucous glands. The
skin is the most extensive organ as a body protector against the dangers of chemicals,
sunlight, microorganisms and maintain the body's balance with the environment.
The function of skin are :
1. Protection function
Skin provides protection to the body in various ways as follows:
a. Keratin
Keratin protects the skin from microbes, abrasion (friction), heat, and
chemicals. Keratin is a hard, rigid, and neatly arranged structure like a brick on the
surface of the skin.
b. Lipid
The released lipids prevent water evaporation from the skin surface and
dehydration; it also prevents the entry of water from the environment outside the
body through the skin.
c. Sebum
Oily sebum from the sebaceous glands and hair prevent skin from drying
and contains a substance that serves bactericidal kill bacteria on the skin surface. The
presence of sebum, along with the excretion of sweat, will produce the acid mantle
with 5-6.5 pH levels capable of inhibiting the growth of microbes.
d. Melanin pigment
Pigment melanin to protect from the effects of harmful UV rays. In the basal stratum,
melanocyte cells release melanin pigment to adjacent cells. This pigment is
responsible for protecting the genetic material from the sun, so that the genetic
material can be stored well. If there is a disruption to the protection by melanin, it can
arise malignancy.
e. In addition there are cells that act as protective immune cells.
The first is the Langerhans cells, which represent the antigen against microbes. Then
there is a phagocyte cell in charge of phagocytosis of microbes that enter through
keratin and Langerhans cells.
The absorption may take place through the intercellular gap or through the mouth of
the glandular channel; but more through the epidermal cells rather than through the
mouth of the gland.
3. Excretion function
The skin also functions in excretion by the intermediary of its two exocrine glands,
the sebaceous glands and the sweat glands:
a. Sebaceous glands
Sebaceous glands are glands attached to hair follicles and release of lipids known as
sebum to the lumen. Sebum is expelled when the pili artery muscles contract to
suppress the sebaceous glands so that sebum is ejected onto the hair follicles and then
onto the skin surface. The sebum is a mixture of triglycerides, cholesterol, protein,
and electrolytes. Sebum serves to inhibit bacterial growth, lubricate and protect
keratin.
b. Sweat glands
Although the stratum corneum water-resistant, but about 400 mL of water can
come out with a way to evaporate through the sweat glands per day. An
indoor worker excludes 200 mL of extra sweat, and more active people.
c. Apocrine sweat gland
It is present in the axilla, breast and pubic areas, and is active at puberty and produces
a thick secretion and a distinctive odor. Apocrine sweat glands work when there is a
signal from the nervous system and hormones so that the myoepithelial cells that
surround the glands to contract and suppress the apocrine sweat glands. As a result
the apocrine sweat glands release the secretion to the hair follicles and then to the
outer surface.
d. Sweat gland merocrine (ekrin)
It is in the palms of the hands and feet. The secretions contain water, electrolytes,
organic nutrients, and metabolic waste. PH levels ranging from 4.0 - 6.8. The
function of the merochrin sweat glands is to regulate the surface temperature, excrete
water and electrolytes and protect from foreign agents by complicating the attachment
of foreign agents and producing dermicidin, a small peptide with antibiotic properties.
4. The function of perception
The skin contains sensory nerve endings in the dermis and subcutis. Against hot
stimuli played by Ruffini bodies in the dermis and subcutis. Against the cold played
by Krause bodies located in the dermis, Meissner's tactile body is located in the
dermis papilla playing a role, as is the body of Merkel Ranvier located in the
epidermis. While the pressure played by the body Paccini in the epidermis. These
sensory nerves are more numerous in erotic areas.
Although the body is able to produce vitamin D itself, but does not meet the body's
needs as a whole so that the systemic administration of vitamin D are still needed.
In human skin can also express emotions due to blood vessels, sweat glands, and
muscles under the skin.

COVER
CONCLUSION
The integument system is an organ system that distinguishes, separates, protects, and
informs animals about their surroundings. Components of the System is the largest
part of the organ system, ie
Includes:
1. skin, is the outermost layer of the human body. Consisting of two bags
ie thin skin and thick skin.
2. Hair is a threadlike organ that grows on the skin of animals, especially
mammals.
3. Feathers are characteristic keratin structures there are on the nation of
aves, and is considered as a modification of the scales.
4. nails, are parts of the animal body that are present or grow on the
fingertips. Nails grow from soft gel-like cells that die, harden, and then form as
they begin to grow from fingertips.
5. sweat glands. Sweat gland is a circular tract and empties into the
epidermis and is in the form of fine pores.
The integument system has functions such as:
Protector from drought, invasion of microorganisms, ultraviolet light, &
mechanical, chemical, or temperature
Receiver sensation; touch, pressure, pain, and temperature
Temperature control; reduce heat loss during cold temperatures and increase
heat loss during hot temperatures
Metabolic function, store energy melelui fat reserves, vitamin synthesis D.
Excretion and absorption.
