Wow, that was really helpful. Thank you.Hey vennowsah, I'd start by looking up websites and teacher plans for the integumentary system to get a general idea of the topic and then moving on to more advanced resources. Some Google searches on "integumentary system teachers" and "integumentary system beginners" turned up some pretty good results. As always, there's Wikipedia and the SciOly wiki when the latter gets updated for an excellent introduction to the topic (just make sure there are no 'citation needed's)
After that you might want to go a little more advanced, so you can go to the local library, bookstore, or college to pick up a medical textbook or two. Gray's Anatomy, if you really want to get into the event, is extremely dense though extremely useful, and apparently in the public domain, accessible on that link.
Have fun on the event! If you ever have any questions you can just post them here and people tend to respond within a day or two.

Ah, same. I got plenty of notes from last year's PowerPoint as well, and I'm looking forward to starting this year's notes from it. ^_^Yes, the PowerPoint is really good! I got most of my nervous system notes from there last year, and I'm building my integumentary system notes from there too.
They are different classifications. Somatic and Autonomic are referring to whether the actions are controlled and recieved by conscious or unconscious thought. Afferent and Efferent refers to whether the signals are coming to or leaving the brainThis question might seem straightforward, and I never really thought about it until now...
Are the somatic and autonomic nervous systems divisions of the efferent division of the PNS? Or do both systems include the afferent division as well? I just realized I have conflicting sources on this
But where do they overlap? I mean, most sensory neurons are unipolar-structural classification overlaps with functional classification. By the same token, do the somatic & autonomic systems consist of both afferent & efferent fibers, or are they technically speaking only efferent?They are different classifications.
