Integumentary System Concept Map Overview

An integumentary system concept map shows how the skin and its related structures are organized. The integumentary system includes the skin, hair, nails and exocrine glands. The skin itself has two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis, sitting above a hypodermis of fat and connective tissue. A good map links each layer to its cells, structures and functions.

  • Epidermis: stratified layers, keratinocytes and melanocytes
  • Dermis: collagen, elastic fibers, blood vessels and nerves
  • Hypodermis: subcutaneous fat that insulates and cushions
  • Appendages: hair follicles, nails, sweat and sebaceous glands
  • Functions: protection, temperature control, sensation and vitamin D synthesis

Use the map to review each layer before an exam, then test yourself with a quiz. CogniGuide can build a personalized integumentary system map from your own notes in a few minutes.

Integumentary System Questions

Answers on skin anatomy and on building your own map.

What are the main layers of the skin?

The skin has three main layers: the epidermis, the outer layer; the dermis, the middle layer of connective tissue; and the hypodermis, a deeper layer of fat and loose connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures.

What structures belong to the integumentary system?

The integumentary system includes the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands such as sweat and sebaceous glands. Together these structures protect the body, regulate temperature and detect sensations.

Which file types can I use to make my own map?

You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image. You can also type a topic name instead.

Can I turn my integumentary map into a quiz?

Yes. Any map can be turned into a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can also be made into flashcards. The free plan allows 5 creations a week.
