What is the integumentary system and its primary characteristics? The integumentary system is the skin and its derivatives; it provides external protection for the body. Its characteristics are: covers the entire body‚ accounts for about 7% of total body weight‚ pliable‚ yet durable‚ thickness: 1.5 to 4.0 mm‚ composed of the epidermis

Chapter 16 Notes The heart lies in the mediastinum and is surrounded by a doubled layered membrane called the pericardium. The outer most layer of the pericardium is called the fibrous pericardium‚ which anchors the heart to surrounding structures. The inner layer is called the serous pericardium and is composed of two layers. The outer portion is called the parietal pericardium‚ the inner portion is called the visceral pericardium (epicardium). Epicardium- outer most layer of the heart wall

Outcome 1- Understand anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals 1. The anatomy and physiology are important in relation to the correct moving and positioning of individuals as the anatomy is the physical structure of the body and the physiology is the functions of the body. When working with people with limited or reduced mobility‚ care workers must be aware that client’s movements may be slower and more difficult‚ with muscles becoming weak and floppy. Therefore
