## Resource

In this follow-up episode on the integumentary system, we explore the amazing ways our skin keeps us safe, healthy, and balanced every single day. Last week, we learned what the skin is made of — this week, we focus on what it does for us and why we truly couldn’t live without it. Sloane continues doubting if skin is really that important… and ends up discovering it’s one of the most essential systems in the entire body! In this episode, kids learn how the skin: Acts like a protective wall, keeping germs out Helps prevent dehydration by keeping our body’s water inside Uses sweat to cool us down when we’re hot Works with hair and the hypodermis to keep us warm Uses blood vessels to control body temperature through vasodilation and vasoconstriction Sends messages to the brain through nerves to help keep us safe We talk about how all these parts — skin, hair, glands, fat, and nerves — work together to protect us and regulate our temperature, making the integumentary system absolutely essential for life. 💡 Enjoying What’s Happening Inside Me?
