Detailed explanation-1: -The integumentary system includes the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, associated glands, hair, and nails. In addition to its barrier function, this system performs many intricate functions such as body temperature regulation, cell fluid maintenance, synthesis of Vitamin D, and detection of stimuli.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thermoregulation. The integumentary system helps regulate body temperature through its tight association with the sympathetic nervous system, the division of the nervous system involved in our fight-or-flight responses.
Detailed explanation-3: -Our internal body temperature is regulated by a part of our brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus checks our current temperature and compares it with the normal temperature of about 37°C. If our temperature is too low, the hypothalamus makes sure that the body generates and maintains heat.
Detailed explanation-4: -Skin Function in the Integumentary System It also is the primary barrier that protects against pathogens getting into the body. Skin also regulates temperature homeostasis, keeping us warm with underlying layers of fat in the hypodermis and the function of hair in the dermis and epidermis.
