regulated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). The ANS regulates physiological signals such as muscle tension, respiration, facial expressions, pupillary changes, articulation, tone of voice, posture, gesture, skin temperature or activity of sweat glands...

It lines the oral cavity, esophagus, larynx, vagina and anal canal, and the outer layer of the cornea. Stratified cuboidal epithelium - also functions as a protective tissue layer. It lines the excretory ducts of the sweat glands, large ducts of excretory glands, the anorectal junction and ...
Recent research has shown that the lungs not only participate in gas exchange, but perform an important endocrine function too. The pulmonary vascular bed is a unique system because of its position in the general circulation and its vastness. The surface
The sweat glands and their activities early drew attention to the part these structures play in excretion, and for a long time this activity of the skin was considered as an important adjunct to the work of the kidneys. This point of view is untenable, however, in the light of newer ...
Gland conditions:The glands in the integumentary system can develop chronic conditions.Seborrheic dermatitisis a condition where the sebaceous glands around hair follicles of the scalp produce excess sebum. This leads to oily build-up on the scalp, causing greasy scales or dandruff. Sweat glands can...

The TNFRSF members EDAR, XEDAR, and TROY play roles in hair-follicle and sweat-gland development. Mice deficient in either EDA or EDAR, or humans with mutations in these proteins, have no primary hair follicles or sweat glands [65, 66]. In contrast, another TNFRSF member, p75, appears ...
The dermis lies below the epidermis. It is comparatively thicker than the epidermis. The epidermal appendages that connect with the external surface of the skin lie within the dermis, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The superficial region of the dermis that lies close to the epidermis ...
