The document discusses the integumentary system and skin. It mentions that eczema is an example of skin inflammation that causes swollen, red, and itchy skin. It also provides some fun facts about dermatomes, including that they were developed in the 1930s to produce thin skin slices for skin grafts and that manual, electrical, and air pressurized types are used today. The document recommends using the ABCDE method to check moles for possible melanoma symptoms, noting asymmetry, irregular borders, varying color, diameter larger than 6mm, and evolution or changes over time as potential signs.

2. --inflammation of the skin
 ex. Eczema, it usually involves swollen, reddened and itchy skin

4. *Fun Facts*
 Dates back to the 1930’s
Many different types are utilized
 Produces thin slices of skin to help
make skin grafts
 Manual, Electrical and Air
Pressurized types are used today

6. Study of the skin

7. Black Tumor or “Cancer” the leading cause of death from skin disease

8. Follow the ABCDE system to check for possible symptoms…
A. Asymmetry – one half of the „mole or freckle‟ is a
different color from the other half
B. Borders – edges may be irregular or “not completely
circular”
C. Color – the color changes maybe tan, brown, black, white,
red or bluish and they might be multi- colored as well
D. Diameter – melanoma is usually larger than 6 mm and the
diameter may grow over time
E. Evolution – as with the others, the mole may change
appearance over time
