Before You Start: What is the Integumentary System?
The integumentary system is a body system consisting of the skin, hair, nails, oil glands and sweat glands. Its main job is to protect the body from the outside world, although it also retains body fluids, protects the body against disease, eliminates waste products, and regulates body temperatures.
