 Body membranes, which cover surfaces, line body cavities, and form protective (and often lubricating) sheets around organs, fall into two major groups. There are (1) epithelial membranes, which include the cutaneous, mucous, and serous membranes, and (2) connective tissue membranes, represented by synovial membranes. The cutaneous membrane, generally called the skin or integumentary system, will receive most of our attention in this chapter, but first we will consider the other body membranes.
Objective Checklist

-
Compare the structure (tissue makeup) of the major membrane types.
Integumentary System (Skin)
-
List several important functions of the integumentary system and explain how these functions are accomplished.
-
When provided with a model or diagram of the skin, recognize and name the following skin structures: epidermis, dermis (papillary and reticular layers), hair and hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and sweat gland.

Human Anatomy and Physiology Index
I’ll be teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology again at the University of Pangasinan this semester. Human Anatomy and Physiology is one of the core and fundamental subjects of the AHSE curriculum which will lead to a B.S. Nursing degree.
I’ll be using the university’s NEC LCD Projector for my lectures. I got hold of two CD-ROM based teaching materials to aid me in accomplishing the set learning objectives:
1. The expanded Essentials of InterActive Physiology CD-ROM which features activities specifically selected for short Anatomy and Physiology course, including animations, tutorials, and quizzes.
2. The enhanced Instructor Art and Lecture Presentation CD-ROM which gives me quick and convenient access to PowerPoint lecture outlines and all the figures and tables from text in both labeled and unlabelled formats.
As a learning resource, will be using the textbook Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology Eight Edition by Elaine N. Marieb.
Note: For Instructors and Students: You could access an online Companion Website for Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology. Click here.
The 6 in 1 Multifaceted Show/ Expo is one of the featured events in the Dagupan Bangus Festival 2006. It is a Trade, Livelihood, Tourism, Education, Livelihood, Tourism, Education, Real Estate and Employment Show/ Expo. The Expo is in cooperation with various agencies (government, business and NGOs) such as DTI, DepEd, PESO, CREDA, POEA, TESDA, DOT, ENTRE PINOY, NEGOSYO, Foodcart Association and others. The Expo runs from April 25 – May 8, 2006 at the New Malimgas Market, Dagupan City.
The University of Pangasinan is one of the exhibitors and I am in charge of the multimedia presentation. Instead of the usual PowerPoint presentation, I made a DVD presentation that is projected using an NEC LCD projector.
The short video clips were about the university and its various activities like alumni involvement, extension services and the foundation week.
The brochures which I made using Corel Draw were distributed. We also have an on-going Alumni tracking at the site as well as a UPang Trivia contest with various appliances as prizes. The school's participation is coordinated by the university Extension Director, Dr. Edwin Cancino.

Graduation. This has brought back good memories. High school was a fun. But college was a totally different astronomical experience!
My Graduation day was a fitting climax of my 4 years of stay at UST. I shared that special day with my father and mother (to whom I owe everything), my siblings, my high school buddies (Mack and Rob. Jack wasn’t able to come), and college buddies (Biggs, DJ, King, Joboy, Richard) who also graduated that day.
As I received my diploma, I had flashbacks of yearly Side A concerts, watching the four-peat UAAP champions UST Tigers, ignoring an introduction to Charlene Gonzales by Ate Beth, the college clerk, smoking inside the Main building and at the botanical garden when smoking inside UST was still tolerated, surviving the meals at the COOP and meeting Pope John Paul II in1995.
It is in UST where I matured personally, academically, socially and spiritually. Staying in a dormitory at Moret St. added to my independence and self-reliance (but not my punctuality- my Achilles’ heel). I was a team member of the Inter-Block Biology basketball tournament champion ’94 (Block C), I was a member of several student organizations including Pax Romana. I was the president of the College of Science and the vice-president for social action section of the CCC (Pax Romana Central Coordinating Council) in 1995. I was responsible for developing outreach programs and activities.
At graduation day, I had another opportunity to go up the PICC stage for a special award in behalf of the College of Science Pax Romana. This was for our efforts in the successful staging of the World Youth Day and Pope John Paul II’s visit, which was held here in the Philippines in 1995.
