Integumentary System (skin)

Pigmentation in you skin is determined by the amount of melanin given to you by your parents, in other words genetics.

Subcutaneous fat is adipose tissue that lies superficial and close to the skin whereas visceral fat is adipose tissue that lies around the central organs (the viscera). Generally, visceral fat is considered a lot more harmful to health than subcutaneous fat as it affects the viscera and causes conditions such as diabetes mellitus and also heart disease.

this is the first layer of the skin

There is just one organ in the integumentary system, which is commonly known as the skin.

Stomata

Yes, as long as you don't use too harsh a soap and remember to moisturize. Your skin needs that protective moisture barrier :)

It gives your skin its color

The sweat and sebaceous glands are in the dermis, not in the stratum corneum.

The stratum corneum is superficial to the stratum basale. The stratum basale is deep to the stratum corneum.

Epidermis is the top layer of skin and the one you can actually see. The dermis is the layer that lies underneath the epidermis, and it is composed entirely of living cells. The most important function of dermis is respiration. The various glands such as the oil and sweat glands originate in the lower dermis. From here, they rise to the surface of the skin to eliminate waste matter.

The uppermost layer of skin is the the stratum corneum.

Nails are considered a dermal appendage, which means they are produced from skin, although they are not considered skin themselves. Finger- and toenails are actually a form of protein which is produced in the nailbed and nail matrix. They serve as protection of the distal portions of our fingers and toes.

stratum basale and upper dermis

Unlikely to be dangerous. Avoid writing on broken skin, though.

The skin, the hair, and your fingernails!:)
skin,hair,and nails

Yes

by the pores you have in your skin if you clog them you get acne or a pimple

When you are getting a lot of excersise, your mussels grow bigger, so your skin is more strung and it changes colour because of that. You can see that bodybuilders have a different (often quite weird) skin colour.

it i were to say, the dermis is composed largely of dead cells

Yes, sebum and other cutaneous oils are produced by eccrine glands.

The inner layer of the skin is known as the dermis.

Small glands in the skin that secrete oil into hair follicles and onto the body surface.

this makes the hair greasy (oily) and also makes the body sweat and look oily.

:)

When you're hot your pores open up wider to let heat out, when you are cold, they close to keep heat in.

Sweat glands in the skin produce perspiration (mostly water), which evaporates and carries heat away from the body - see "latent heat of evaporation".
