Expert Solution
Introduction

An organ system that composed of skin, exocrine gland, nails, and hair is referred to as an integumentary system. 

The skin, which covers the entire body, is the largest organ on the human body. The skin protects us from injuries, hazardous chemicals, harmful germs, and UV radiation. The skin also keeps the water or moisture content of the body from evaporating.

The skin is made up of 3 layers, which are:

  • Epidermis (outer layer)
  • Dermis (middle layer)
  • Hypodermis (inner layer)
