Integumentary

The Integumentary System is the organ system that protects the body from damage, including loss of water, and helps regulate body temperature. It includes the skin, hair, nails, and glands.

The main components of the Integumentary System are skin, hair, nails, and glands.

There are three layers of skin: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis.

The outermost layer of skin is called the epidermis.

The dermis provides strength and elasticity to the skin and contains blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles.

Hair is made of a protein called keratin.

False. The Integumentary System is the outer layer of the body.

Sweat glands help regulate body temperature by producing sweat, which cools the body when it evaporates.

Nails protect the tips of fingers and toes and help with gripping objects.

The hypodermis is the deepest layer of skin that contains fat and connective tissue, providing insulation and cushioning.
