Figure 1. Histology of the Integumentary system. Ten labels which can be seen in the
microscopic picture above. In the picture you can see the dermis which is the bottom
layer of skin. Basement membrane which is there to anchor down the epithelium to its
loose connective tissue. A couple of other labels are also listed. Photo by Author
Figure 2. Eccrine Sweat Gland Density. This is a lab over the sweat gland in the
forearm (ventral) hand (palmar) neck (cervical ventral) and the finger (distal phalanges).
The bar graph shows that the individual data for the forearm has 420 sweat glands cm
squared while the class average has 260.3 cm squared. For the hand the individual
data is 258 cm squared while the class average is 213 cm squared. Neck has a
recorded data of 692 cm squared and finger has 212 cm squared, neither neck nor
finger had data for class average. Photo by Author
Figure 3. Skin temperature recovery data. The three graphs show data for the palm,
forearm and neck. The line graphs provide data for the baseline temperature, recovery
after ice (coldest point) and recovery after ice (2 minutes). There is both individual and
class data shown. The data is taken in degrees celsius. To calculate the coldest point
the individual puts ice onto body part on which the data states for thirty seconds then he
or she is to calculate the coldest temperature in celsius and then after two minutes
records the last piece of data for the lab. Photo by Author
Figure 4. Two point discrimination data. In this lab the individual was to collect data for
numerous body parts then record the three highest and lowest numbers to be placed
into a bar graph like the one shown above. Photo by Author
Figure 5. Homunculus drawing. The homunculus drawing is based off of the two point
discrimination lab that was done. You took the reciprocal of both right and left side then
multiplied by ten and that number is the number of boxes you mark in. As you can tell
most parts are much larger than others this mean that they are more sensitive whereas
smaller parts mean it is less sensitive. Photo by Author
Figure 6. Case study infographic. This case study is over melanoma or skin cancer. It
shows that people with fair skin are more likely to develop skin cancer than naturally tan
people. It also shows the four stages of melanoma and the early warning signs of
cancer with ABCDE. Photo by Author
