| | Integumentary system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the integumentary system. | | | In zootomy, the integumentary system is often the largest organ system of an animal, comprising skin, hair, feathers, scales, nails, skin glands and their products (sweat, slime). | | | As skin is the most visible organ, skin appearance or symptoms provides important clues not only to skin diseases but also to disorders of other organs, such as the liver. |

| | This is generally the case in the body - there is considerable interdependence between body systems, and we should be aware that in subdividing the body for descriptive purposes we must be careful not to lose sight of the interconnections. | | | As well as interacting with the classical body systems as explained above, the integumentary system also contributes to numerous physiological processes, especially those involved in homeostasis. | | | even the reproductive system has interactions with the skin, since sensory stimuli received by the skin can influence sexual behaviour and processes. |

| | When the temperature on the outside of the body is hot the blood vessels within our integumentary system become larger or dilate, excess heat from the blood can escape through the skin. | | | This allows the blood vessels to lay deeper within the integumentary system and retain the heat, rather than losing it. | | | The scalp is healthier when it is massaged and the hair is brushed well at least twice a day. |

| | The integumentary system includes the skin and all of its derivatives. | | | The skin is divided into layers, the epidermis, the dermis, the subcutaneous fate tissue, and muscle. | | | The skin has many functions, some of which are, regulation of body temperature, protection, sensation, excretion, immunity, blood reservoir, and synthesizing vitamin D. The skin and other organs of the integumentary system receive their food and oxygen from almost every artery, and deposit their wastes in almost every vein. |
