THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

[/ux_text] [/col] [col span=”6″ span__sm=”12″] [gap height=”5px”]

The integumentary system consists of the skin, hair, nails and exocrine glands. Skin forms the body’s outer covering and protects the body from chemicals, disease, UV light and physical damage. Hair and nails extend from the skin to reinforce the skin and protection from the environment. Exocrine glands produce sweat, oil and wax to cool, moisturize and protect the skin’s surface.
