integumentary system :)

This week, we discussed about the integumentary system--the body's protective covering.

As I've said, this system protects our body and helps keep the body from drying out. It also acts as storage for fatty tissue. It is also very important in the regulation of body temperature.

The epidermis is the layer of skin that we usually see.
there are no blood vessels present there but it has 5 or 6 smaller layers.

the layer next to the epidermis is the dermis. actually, i don't know much about it but it is where the sudiferous or sweat glands are located. there are two types of sweat glands: apocrine and eccrine

the innermost layer of our skin is the subcutaneous fascia (?) or hypodermis. it's composed of elastic and fibrous connective tissue and also fatty tissue.

the integumentary system also includes the nail and hair but.. i don't know much about them c:

this can be reported effectively even with just an illustration (well,..that's my opinion)
