Laboratory #1: tissues and the integumentary system introduction a tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function. the human body is composed of four types of tissues: 1. epithelium covers and lines body surfaces, organs, and tubes. 2. connective tissue protects, supports, and binds different tissues together. 3. A is for asymmetry: irregular in shape. b is for border: borders are unclear or irregular. c is for color: generally mottled with many colors. d is for diameter: growths greater than 5 mm in diameter (size of pencil eraser) e is for elevation: raised above the skin surface. adipose tissue.

By the end of this section, you will be able to: identify the components of the integumentary system. describe the layers of the skin and the functions of each layer. identify and describe the hypodermis and deep fascia. although you may not typically think of the skin as an organ, it is in fact made of tissues that work together as a single. The skin and its accessory structures make up the integumentary system, which provides the body with overall protection. the skin is made of multiple layers of cells and tissues, which are held to underlying structures by connective tissue (figure \(\pageindex{1}\)). the deeper layer of skin is well vascularized (has numerous blood vessels).
