Unit 5
The integumentary system (skin and its accessories)

Reading  
Ch. 5 - "The Integumentary System"

"Integument" = covering

Ch. 5 is very practical and informative from a personal-health standpoint, and you will find the other sections interesting as well:
  • Hair and hair growth
  • Nails
  • Oil and sweat glands
  • Skin wound healing
  • Aging and the skin
Below: An excellent 10-min video on the Skin and its Accessory Structures. I expect everyone in the class to watch this video carefully.
Below: This is a 50-min Med-School video. It is easy to understand and I highly recommend watching.
Below: The skin is your largest organ. It serves many functions. Integument = "Covering".

Skin Suture Lab
In this lab you will learn the Surgeon's Knot, and how to suture up a wound. 
Video below:  Suturing a facial wound
This is an excellent video, but it's somewhat graphic because it shows a surgeon stitching up a facial wound. If you're sensitive to blood, DON'T WATCH IT. 
"Traumatic (Trauma) Facial (Face) Laceration (Cut) Tips and Closure"
