Our skin is composed of so many layers of protection with many different functions and not simply a covering for our bodies.  You will be fascinated by what encompasses this organ system.  Wait until you see the many layers, journey within the skin structures, and even play a review game on our final day together. 

👉Students will uncover and learn about the following areas in this short course:

Class I: Anatomy of the Integumentary System- Review of individual structures. 
 
Class II: Inside the skin: Major regions and what happens where (epidermis, dermis, stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum)

Class III: Why do we sweat and how does this happen? How do the sebaceous glands work and why do we need them?

🔹️We will discover the structures through dynamic images and simulations of this fascinating system. There will be plenty of interaction and guided questions as we take our journey together.  This active learning process helps students understand and remember the anatomy and major processes involved.

🎲At the end of our final day, we will play a game and review what we've covered in all classes. This is so much fun!  We will work together as a class as we wrap up with this review game. 
  
**I will post a  lab sheet diagram for the students to bring to class and we will work on this together as we are learning. This will be posted in the classroom prior to our first meeting.
 
**Students will also receive an optional homework assignment after each session which will be posted in the classroom.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
