...The integumentary system is similar to an organ system that deals with the hair, skin, nails and exocrine glands. The main part of the integumentary system is the skin. Believe it or not, the skin is the thickest layer on your body. The other parts of this particular system such as hair and nails are found in the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous. The integumentary system is all about protection.” (Rader) The integumentary system prevents your body from diseases such as acne, eczema and skin cancer. It provides a barrier to block different viruses and bacteria. Some risk may include becoming dehydrated and your body becoming over heated. Another risk is that the skin may experience harmful ultraviolet radiation and un-guard the skin against...

...The Integumentary system is the body’s largest organ. In the Integumentary system you have skin, hair, nails, glands and nerve receptors. The function of the Integumentary is to cover and protect the body. It protects the body from changes in temperature, also acts as a receptor. Your skin is very important it is the thickest part of the body. It Important that your skin is functioning, so that is protects the rest of the body as It’s supposed to. “Melanoma: Causes, symptoms and treatments” Melanoma is not the most common disease. It is known to be the most dangerous because it can maneuver around the skin cells. Being over exposed to the sun or radiation without protection could play a large roll of melanoma. Melanin is the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair and eyes. Melanomas are usually black or brown. It can also be other colors such as pink, red, purple, blue or white....

...stage 1 the melanocytes have grown around 4 mm thick and have now entered the dermis of the skin but not the lymph nodes. Stage 1 is able to be removed with surgery if need be and can also be treated with medicine (Holmes 2014). Stage 2 has now reached the lymph nodes and will definitely come back if removed by surgery as the melanocytes are still present in the lymph nodes and can still divide and take up the same or greater space. These stages are not lethal but can become lethal if it reaches up to stage 3 melanoma. Stage 3 melanoma has now spread to other parts of the bodies and treatment option can vary depending on the affected areas. (Owens 2014) Stage 3 is now lethal and if left long without treatment can kill the host. Further analysis into melanoma reveals that it is often an occurrence of too much exposure to UVA radiation by sun or sun beds. Scientists such as Zaida and colleagues (2011) and Susan and colleagues (2014) recommend applying protective sunscreen to avoid radiation exposure onto skin cells and converting them into melanoma cells. It is also highly recommended if melanoma cells are present in the form of moles to wear proper amounts of sunscreen and not to excess in time outside under the sun to disable progression of the stages in melanoma. There should be a proper form of protection against UV radiation either in the form of proper shading and sun time or a decent amount of sun protection field, SPF. A proper SPF can last up to 15 hours and if used at...

...any pain because of nerve damage. They cause the most damage, extending through every layer of skin. Depending on the cause, the most common symptoms for third-degree burns can include; waxy and white color, char, dark brown color, raised and leathery texture, blisters that do not develop. When talking about healing the first degree are very minor and heal very quickly. But second and third-degree burns have a more complex way of healing. The healing process for these burns have four stages; hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and maturation. Although the stages of wound healing are linear, wounds can progress backward or forward depending on their internal and external patient conditions. In conclusion, I enjoyed reading the integumentary system. It is amazing how the body works and how it can repair itself. Even though it might take some out-side intervention it is amazing watching the human body take care of itself....

...1.1The skin is a live and always developing organ that contains many special cells and structures. The skins' function is to act as a protective barrier that can sometimes encounter hostile environments. The skin is also vital maintaining the proper body temperature in order to function well. It is very complex as it gathers sensory information from the environment, and plays an important role in the immune system protecting us from disease. There is a 3 layer structure of the skin; the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Pressure sores can happen because of reduced mobility, for example being in the same position whether it be in a chair or bed; the skin is not exposed to enough air and bodily fluids can build up, causing a sore from...

This system also retains body fluids, protects against disease, eliminates waste products, and regulates body temperature. Skin The skin is one of our largest organs. The layers of skin are capable of healing themselves no matter how many tears and rips it gets. The skin has sensory receptors that monitor the external environment and it has mechanisms that can get rid of body waste. The skin is composed of two layers; the epidermis and the dermis. Epidermis The epidermis the outer layer of the skin and it is made up of many layers of flattened epithelial cells. The top layer...

...of the system development Life Cycle include; * System investigation, this is where professionals gather information on what problems a business may have, the software and programs that are needed, and what problems that may occur. * System analysis, this stage defines in detail the problem, cause, and solution the organizations plan to solve with its information systems. * System design, this phase is where the technical design is developed. This includes hardware, software, database, telecommunications and procedures. This is done in logical and physical design which states what the system will do and how the system will perform. * Programming is the process of turning the system design into specifics * Testing, this is where the system is tested to see if the codes will produce desired results. This is done throughout the programming stage. * Implementation is where the system is deployed and the old system is out. This is done in three stages, direct conversion: the old system is turned off and the new is turned on. Pilot conversion: the system is operational in small areas of the business. Phased conversions: where components are introduced until the system is fully functional. * Operations and maintenance, where the system is debugged of any problems. The people who participate in the development of the information system are Users such as employees who will be using the system. System analysts...

...Developing a Successful Real Estate Information System Plan Jon A. Snyder Park University Management/Computer Information Systems IS 315 Computer Sys Analysis & Design I Annette M. Story February 27, 2012 Abstract Since information systems become more and more important in our today’s society, business firms, organizations, and individuals rely on these systems to manage their daily business and social activities. Hence, it becomes more and more important not only to support the efficient development of such systems but the modification and adaption of once deployed information systems need to be supported, too. Since complex requirements and the technical progress of computer systems lead to a high complexity of computer systems, the use of software models helps to manage system’s complexity and provides a tool for communication and documentation purposes. In particular for web-based information systems, a number of model driven approaches were developed. However, I believe that compared to the user interface layer and the persistency layer, there could be a better support of consistent approaches providing a suitable architecture for the consistent model driven development of business logic from early analysis until system maintenance. Analyzing and Developing a Successful Real Estate Information System Plan System analysis and design consists of four major phases and they are the planning phase, the analysis phase, the design phase and the implementation...
