About integumentary system notes
GoConqr OriginalWhat the integumentary system notes cover
These notes offer different ways into the unit. The introductory note titled Integumentary System covers the epidermis, dermis and homeostasis. Basic science dermatology looks at skin layers and cell types, while Integument includes keratin and skin glands.
Choose a starting point
Start with the introductory note if you want an overview of the skin and its layers. Then read the note on skin functions and epidermal strata to examine the layers in more detail. For a narrower topic, try the material on keratin and glands in Integument.
As you read, make a short list of terms you want to revisit. Compare how another note describes the same layer or function. When you want to check your recall, switch to a quiz on the unit page; use a mind map there if you would rather see topics arranged visually. Choose a note that matches your current revision topic and take a look.
Frequently asked questions
Which note should I start with?

What can I find in the notes?
The notes cover topics including the epidermis, dermis, skin functions, cell types, keratin and glands. Integument includes material on keratin and skin glands, while Basic science dermatology looks at skin layers and cell types. Other notes offer an overview of the system or focus on its functions and structures.
