The Integumentary System: Our Skin
 
Functions of our skin
 
Control of body temperature
Keeping out infection
It´s a waterproof barrier
Protects delicate tissues underneath; “holds everything in”
Mends itself when damaged

Skin Root Words
 
Derma 
= Skin
Sarc(o) 
= body tissue or flesh
Trich(o) 
= Hair
 
 
Onchy(o) 
= Nails
Histo
 = Skin tissue
Kerato 
= Thickening of the
skin
 
Skin Suffixes
 
oma
 = tumor of
orrhea
 = excessive flow of
ology
 = study of
opathy
 = disease of
 
 
 
 
osis
 = condition of
itis
 = inflammation of
algia
 = pain of
malacia
 = softening of
 
 
Roots + Suffixes = Skin Terms
 
Derma (skin) + itis (inflammation of) =
Dermatitis
 
(inflammation of the skin)
Sarc (skin tissue) + oma (tumor of) =
Sarcoma
 (tumor of the skin)
Trich (hair) + algia (pain of)
 
=
Trichalgia
(pain of the hair)
Onchy (nails) + malacia (softening of) =
Onchyomalacia
 (softening of the nails)
Kerato (thickening of) + derma (skin) =
Keratoderma
 (thickening of the skin)
 
 
 
 
More Skin Terms
 
Epi (outermost layer) + dermis (skin) =
Epidermis
 (the outermost layer of the skin)
Lipo (fat) + suction (to remove by suctioning) =
Liposuction
 
(removal of fatty tissue by suctioning)
Kerato (thickening of) + derma (skin) =
Keratoderma
 
(thickening of the skin)
Derma(t) (skin) + orrhea (excessive flow) =
Dermatorrhea (excessive flow of fluid from the skin)

  2. Functions of our skin Control of body temperature Keeping out infection It s a waterproof barrier Protects delicate tissues underneath; holds everything in Mends itself when damaged

  3. Anatomy of our skin

  4. Skin Root Words Derma = Skin Sarc(o) = body tissue or flesh Trich(o) = Hair Onchy(o) = Nails Histo = Skin tissue Kerato = Thickening of the skin

  5. Skin Suffixes oma = tumor of orrhea = excessive flow of ology = study of opathy = disease of osis = condition of itis = inflammation of algia = pain of malacia = softening of

  6. Roots + Suffixes = Skin Terms Derma (skin) + itis (inflammation of) = Dermatitis(inflammation of the skin) Sarc (skin tissue) + oma (tumor of) = Sarcoma (tumor of the skin) Trich (hair) + algia (pain of)= Trichalgia(pain of the hair) Onchy (nails) + malacia (softening of) = Onchyomalacia (softening of the nails) Kerato (thickening of) + derma (skin) = Keratoderma (thickening of the skin)

  7. More Skin Terms Epi (outermost layer) + dermis (skin) = Epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin) Lipo (fat) + suction (to remove by suctioning) = Liposuction(removal of fatty tissue by suctioning) Kerato (thickening of) + derma (skin) = Keratoderma(thickening of the skin) Derma(t) (skin) + orrhea (excessive flow) = Dermatorrhea (excessive flow of fluid from the skin)
