Question

Prepare a written paper to Dr. Jake Smith of at least 500 words that includes the following: Describe the general structures and functions of the integumentary and skeletal systems and how they work together to maintain homeostasis. Describe the types of problems that would occur if this body system could not maintain homeostasis.

Answer 1

The main functions of the integumentary system is to protect the body from outside environment. It includes skin, nails, nerves and hair. Skeletal system is made of bones which provides shape and support to the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeostasis refers to the balance or equilibrium condition of the body. If the homeostasis of the body is disturbed, the body will not be able to perform properly. For example, heat is produced in the body during energy production. If this heat is not removed from the body, the cells and organs performance is badly affected because they require optimum temperature for functioning.
