SECTION 3 INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
The integumentary system has many important functions, such as
(1) Skin waterproofs the body and prevents fluid loss. Skin also helps the immunologic
system by acting as a barrier to organisms.
(2) Sebaceous glands, which are oil glands, lubricate the skin and discourage the growth of
bacteria.
(3) Sudoriferous glands, which are sweat glands, help to regulate body temperature and
water content.
(4) Hair helps control loss of body heat and acts as a receptor for the sense of touch.
(5) Nails help protect the surface end of the last bone of each finger and toe.
The integumentary system consists of skin, hair, nails, sebaceous, and sudoriferous glands.
