Within the body, all of the body systems have homeostatic relations with each other in order to keep the organism alive. After studying two systems, the Integumentary System, and the Skeletal System both go hand in hand with each other.

The Skeletal system provides many functions along with the integumentary system. It provides support for body organs such as skin. Skin also synthesizes vitamin D bones need for normal Calcium absorption and deposit of bone salts which make bones strong and hard.

Our skeletal and integumentary systems also play a large role in protection in our body. The skin protects from our outside environment from things like disease, infection, heat, and other factors. Our whole Axial Skeleton is there for the purpose of protection. The vertebrae protects the spinal cord. The thoracic cage protects the upper body and its' organs. The Skull protects the brain. Without these systems human life wouldn't be possible. What would we do without our skeleton you ask? See for yourself!
