Introduction
Summary
In this lesson, we explored the essential components and functions of the integumentary system. We discussed its role in protection, excretion, thermoregulation, and vitamin synthesis. We examined the structural layers of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, and learned about accessory structures such as hair, nails, and glands. This system is both the body’s first line of defense and a key regulator of internal balance and homeostasis.
