The integumentary system chapter discusses the structure and function of skin and its accessory structures. It is divided into two major subdivisions - the cutaneous membrane (skin) and accessory structures. The skin is composed of three layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis has several layers with different cell types and functions. The dermis lies underneath and contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles and glands. Accessory structures include hair, nails, sweat and sebaceous glands. Skin has important protective, regulatory and sensory functions.
