The integumentary system protects the body from damage, prevents dehydration, and stores fat and produces hormones. It maintains homeostasis, regulates temperature, and acts as the body's first line of defense against pathogens. The three main layers of skin are the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Common diseases of the integumentary system include acne, burns, and skin infections.
