MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Accessory structures of the skin include hair, nails, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. These structures embryologically originate from the epidermis and can extend down through the dermis into the hypodermis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dermis, found beneath the epidermis, contains connective tissue, hair follicles, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and sweat glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -The exocrine glands of the integumentary system produce sweat, oil, and wax to cool, protect, and moisturize the skin’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -The integumentary system is an organ system consisting of the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands. It functions to waterproof, cushion, and protect the deeper tissues, excrete wastes, and regulate temperature, and is interspersed with sensory receptors to detect pain, sensation, pressure, and temperature.
