How is skin part of the integumentary system and the excretory system?

The skin excretes sweat and dead cells from the body, according to the Franklin Institute. Sweating and dead cell excretion through the skin is a function of the integumentary system, which supports theexcretory system.

The integumentary system is skin. It is in the excretory system because it sweats out a lot of salts during calorie burning.
