Greetings.
00:01
In this lecture, we will be discussing the first
of the 11 organ system - the integumentary system.
00:11
First, the integumentary
system consist of the skin.
00:16
The skin has two major layers.
00:19
The epidermal layer or the epidermis
which is the most superficial layer
and the part that you
can see with the naked eye,
and the dermis or the deep layer which
is going to be the part that you can't see,
or the connective tissue layer of the skin.
00:36
Recall from a previous chapter that the
skin is an example of a cutaneous membrane
which contains an epithelial
layer which are epidermis
and a connective tissue
layer which is the dermis.
00:52
Deep to the dermis, we also have a layer referred
to as the hypodermis or the subcutaneous layer.
01:00
This layer is not a part of the
skin but it is actually very important
as it serves as the connection between
the layers of the skin and the tissues beneath
