5 The Integumentary System FOCUS: The integumentary system consists of the skin‚ hair‚ nails‚ and a variety of glands. The epidermis of the skin provides protection against abrasion‚ ultraviolet light‚ and water loss‚ and produces vitamin D. The dermis provides structural strength and contains blood vessels involved in temperature regulation. The skin is attached to underlying tissue by the hypodermis‚ which is a major site of fat storage. CONTENT LEARNING ACTIVITY Hypodermis ❛❛The hypodermis
