One: Do your own homework :P Two: I'm feeling helpful, so I'll answer the question for you. Just promise to actually do your homework next time instead of getting on facebook and letting me deal with it, okay?
The subcutaneous layer of the integumentary system acts as an insulation, keeping the body protected from sudden changes in temperature. Also the sweat glands give off perspiration, keeping the body from overheating. (Yes, I am talking about sweat. It's nasty, but it keeps you alive)
Sweat glands cool the skin by releasing fluids (mostly water and salt/NaCl) an urea. when the fluids evaporates from the skin it takes excess body heat with it.
Arrector pili muscle stand hair on end to aid with insulating the body when cold.
One is sweating, which helps cool the body down. The other is vasoconstriction which helps preserve internal heat in the body.
Two mechanisms:
Sweating and Shivering. Sweating to cool the body & Shivering to warm up the body
sweat glands and cutaneous sensory receptors.
cutaneous receptors detect the change in the external environment( perspiration causes the body to cool itself).
Regulating blood flow to the surface of the body and sweating.
liberating sweat at its surface and by adjusting the flow of blood in the dermis.
Sweat and vasodilation of the superficial blood vessels.
Vasoconstriction and vasodilation

Integumentary system
The integumentary system is your skin that covers your body.
I think you're thinking of the integumentary system to which the largest organ of the human body, skin, belongs to.
Integumentary system. Your skin, hair,and nails protect the tissue that lies beneath them.
the largest component of the integumentary system is the? its the Collion
The integumentary system is the external covering of the body, including skin, hair, nails and sweat glands. The integumentary system is responsible for excreting wastes and regulating temperature, and is the location of sensory receptors for pain, pressure and temperature.
The skin also known as the Integumentary system
Integumentary system
The integumentary system is your skin that covers your body.
Yes, temp. regulation is a function of the Cardiovascular system but also the Integumentary system. The blood distributes heat created by muscle contraction to the rest of the body. Blood vessels in the skin dilate when body temperature rises and constrict when heat needs to be conserved. In this way, the integumentary system plays a key role in regulating body temperature.
No there is not a skin system in the human body.
Since body systems are made up of organs, and the skin is an organ, so which body system would it belong to? ...................... Skin is the Integumentary System which also includes hair and nails ..............

No, the circulatory system transports nutrients to cells. The integumentary system protects your body.
