The Integumentary System By: Nathan Mooney & Justin Franklin
Skin Made of several layers: -Epidermis -Dermis -Hypodermis Allows for the growing of hair With-holds many glands secreting sweat and oils (which are often by-products of other bodily functions)
Hair Consists of 3 main parts: -Follicle -Root -Shaft Made of dead skin cells Covers almost all of the body Helps protect the body from UV damage Traps warm air from exiting the skin, creating an isolation of sorts
Nails Made of 3 parts: -Root -Body -Free edge Also made of dead skin cells Grow from the “Nail Matrix”
