INTRODUCTION
Allocated Time:
Review:
5 Minutes
You have had previous lectures on anatomy and physiology during the Combat
medic course, this lecture will built upon what you have already learned.
Objective:
This chapters presents the structure and function of the skin and its
epidermal derivatives, including hair, skin, glands, and nails. Factors
contributing to skin color and skin superficial and deep wound healing
are also discussed. A comparison of the structural and functional
differences in thin and thick skin is discussed. The effects of aging on
the integumentary system and developmental anatomy of the system are
also included. Clinical applications that are described include skin
grafts, psoriasis, skin color as a diagnostic clue, acne, impacted
cerumen, transdermal drug administration, and photodamage.
Importance:
Nurses work in different health care setting so it is important to gain an
understainding of this subject as it will apply to clinical setting.
Fit:
This is the fifth chapter on anatomy and physiology.
Approach:
You will be presented the subject in a lecture format and will be tested using a
written exam at a later date.
Control Statement:
If you have any questions during the lesson please feel free to ask.
