What are the 2 parts of the integumentary system?

The epidermis can be divided into two main parts which are the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is composed of layers of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells which provide us with protection from scrapes and friction and burns. It is also, for the most part, dead tissue. The dermis is the tissue underneath the epidermis and is largely connective tissue which contains our sensory receptors for feeling things like touch or heat as well as blood vessels which transmit heat to the skin so we can regulate our body temperature.
