Detailed explanation-1: -The integumentary system does help regulate the body’s temperature and serves as a protective covering. One square centimeter of skin contains 700 sweat glands. Not only does one square inch contain 700 sweat glands but it also contains 1 yard of blood vessels. The skin is not a very important system.
Detailed explanation-2: -One square centimeter of skin contains up to 170 free nerve endings. This explains why – other than areas covered by thick calluses – there are no areas of skin where the surface is impervious to pain.
Detailed explanation-3: -What 11 things can be found in 1 square cm of skin? Blood vessels, nerves, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, sensory cells, nerve endings, hair, sensory apparatuses for heat, sensory apparatuses for cold, cells, and hair follicles.
