Answer 1

Integumentary system:

1. The integumentary system is composed of the skin, hair, oil and swell glands, nails, and sensory receptors.
2. The integumentary system helps to maintain the constant body temperature, protects the body, and provides sensory information about the surrounding environment.
3. The function is to act as the barrier to protect the body from the outside world.

Integumentary system is involved in:

1. The integumentary system is involved in protecting the body from invading the microbes, regulating the body temperature through sweating and vasoconstriction/vasodilation, or shivering and piloerection, and controlling the ion balances in the blood.
2. It changes in the flow of blood and capillary permeability is produced by triggering mast cells that can affect the flow of blood and how it is regulated.
3. They help to synthesize vitamin D that interacts with phosphorus and calcium absorption required for maintenance, bone growth, and repair.
4. Skin, and hair guards entry to the nasal cavity or other such orifices, which prevents a further invasion.
5. Skin aids in maintaining balance by excreting the solutes and water.
6. The Keratinized epidermis restricts the loss of fluid through the skin.
7. It also renders mechanical protection against environmental uncertainties.
