Detailed explanation-1: -The skin is the first line of defense against the outside world and is responsible for keeping the internal organs safe and healthy. It contains sweat glands that help fight overheating and dehydration by releasing sweat onto the skin’s surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -The skin’s immense blood supply helps regulate temperature: dilated vessels allow for heat loss, while constricted vessels retain heat. The skin regulates body temperature with its blood supply. The skin assists in homeostasis. Humidity affects thermoregulation by limiting sweat evaporation and thus heat loss.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sweating is directly controlled by the integumentary system but is done through the influence of the endocrine system. Sweat is produced and excreted by the sudoriferous and sudoriparous glands in the skin. these glands are exocrine glands that are part of the integumentary system.
