The function of the eyebrow hair is to prevent debris such as dandruff and other small objects from falling into the eyes, as well as providing sense of something near the eye, and prevent water or sweat from dripping into the eye.

Your skin is the largest organ you have. Its health and development is determined by what happens within you. Internal medicine is systemic in nature, relying on all of you internal organs and systems working together like a well oiled machine.\n   Hope that helps

The skin is the first line of defense. Mucus membranes in the nose and and cilia in the respiratory system also help to trap bacteria and 'sweep' it out of the body. The Immune system patrols the blood and lymph vessels of the body looking for intruders that make it past the first line of defense. Different cells in the immune system have different functions. Some cells (phagocytes) are ingest foreign invaders. Some cells are markers that flag foreign substances for attack by other immune system cells. \nHere's a few sources to help you better understand how the different immune system cells work together to protect the body.

THe ep[idermis is a layer of dead skincells, that primarily acts as a protective barrier against bacteria and viruses, aqueous solutions and water, etc. The dermis is the living part of the skin, and functions as a barrier, to modulate water and heat balance in the body and secretes substances to control viral, bacteria, and fungal growth- in addition, it is a critical component of the vitamin D synthesis system.  It regulates heat and cold using evaporative cooling of sweat, piloerection of hairs, increased or decreased blood flow to the surface of the skin, etc.  It is the largest organ by weight of the body.

Digestive System Organs\n\nEsophagus- A simple conduit between the mouth & stomach.\nStomach- Where the enzymatic digestion of proteins initiated and foods are reducted to liquid form.\nLiver- It's major role is to provide bile salts to the small intestine, which are critical for digestion & absorption of fats.\nPancreas- Important roles as both and endocrine & exocrine organ- provides a potent mixture of digestive ezymes to the small intestine which are critical for digestion of fats, carbs and protein.\nSmall Intestine- Where the final stages of chemical enzymatic digestion occur & where almost all nutrients are absorbed.\nLarge Intestine- Major differences among species in extent & importance - in all animals water is absorbed, bacterial fermentation takes place and feces are formed. In carnivores, that's about the extent of it, but in herbivores; like the horse, the large intestine is huge and of critical importance for utilization of cellulose.\n\nEXCRETORY ORGANS\n\nLUNGS- Diffuses carbon dioxide from the blood, into the lung tissue, and then leaves the body everytime we exhale.\nLIVER- The largest internal organ in our bodies. Its numerous functions make it part of the circulatory, digestive, and excretory systems. Some proteins & other nitrogenous compounds are broken down in the liver by a process called deamination. The liver produces bile, which is temporarily stored in the gall bladder before being released into the small intestine where it helps break down lipid molecules. The liver removes & breaks down old red blood cells. It is also responsible for maintaining normal levels of glucose in the blood. The liver is ALSO responsible for removing potentially hazardous chemicals from the blood. It "detoxifies" the blood.\nSKIN- Sweat comes out of pores in your skin. Sweat is a mixture of 3 metabolic wastes: water, salts, & urea. So as you sweat, your body accomplishes 2 things: sweating has a cooling effect on the body, and metabolic wastes are excreted.\nKIDNEYS- they filter the blood. The kidneys help filter the blood.\n\nRESPIRATORY \n\nNose & Nasal Cavity- airway, moistens & warms air, filters air, resonating chamber for speech, houses smell receptors.\n\nPharynx (throat)- connects nasal cavity to oral cavity & larynx & esophagus. Is a common path for air and food.\n\nLarynx (voice box)- Provides an open airway. Routes food to the esophagus & air to trachea.\n\nTrachea (windpipe)- Descends from larynx & divides into the 2 primary bronchi. Is mobile; stretches, recoils, moves side to side. \n\nLungs- are the collective arrangement of the respiratory zone.

Actually the Dermis is the second layer of skin the Epidermis is the outer most layer.\n\nThe dermis lies below the epidermis and contains a number of structures including blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, smooth muscle, glands and lymphatic tissue.

it has so many functions.. all concerning autonomic actions (involuntary actions) - \nthe most important are: \n1- control of cardiac activity (it has 2 centers: cardiac accelerating and inhibitory centers)\n2- control of respiration (via dorsal and ventral motor neurones)\n3- regulation of heart rate and respiratory rate via central chemoreceptors\n4- regulation of arterial blood pressure by controlling the diameter of arterioles via vaso-motor center\n5- control of vital actions as swallowing ...etc

1.heart\nMain component of the circulatory system. It pumps blood to spread oxygen and nutrients to all over the body and to get some of the waste.\n2.Lungs\nTo take oxygen and put it in the blood.\n3Liver\nCleans toxins out of your body.\n4Kidneys\nThis one is my weakest answer - I know it helps filter your urine in some way.\n5.Stomach and intestines\nAbsorb nutrients from food.\n6.Mucles\nTo move.\n7.brain\nTo control the body.\n8.Bladder\nSo you don't piss yourself.

Skin has several layers.  All skin has an outer layer called the stratum corneum which is composed of multiple layers of flattened, dead, interlocking keratinocytes (a type of skin cell with karatin).  Thick skin such as on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet can have 30 or more layers of these cells.  Thick skin also has an extra layer called the stratum lucidum that looks glassy.  This layer has flattened, densely packed cells.  Most of the body is covered in thin skin.  Areas like under the eye where the skin is very thin just have thinner layers than other areas on your face.  All 4 layers normally present in thin skin are still there.

Your skin is made up of two layers. The outer layer is called the epidermis and the lower level is the dermis. The outer layer (epidermis) produces an oily substance called sebum. You can see this substance when you touch a window or mirror and your "oily" fingerprint is left there. One job sebum does is it keeps water out of your skin—a job that it does very well. However, after long periods of time in a swimming pool, shower, or bathtub, much of the sebum is washed off and your outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. As it absorbs water it swells, but since the epidermis is "tied" down to your dermis in certain spots, it expands more where it is not "tied" down and this causes your skin to wrinkle.

the integumentary system basically means the covering system so skin, hair, glands and nails would be in it. The pancreas is unlikely to be included in the glands that are covered by 'glands' like the sweat and mammary glands. The xiphoid process is not part of the system

I just love asking daft questions!\n\nI am a chemist not a dermatologist unfortunately, but I'l give it a go! \n\nWhen skin is burned all the cells which contain the relevant chemicals to maintain the up-keep of living tissue are destroyed-permanantly. Skin is a very complex organ, however damaged skin cells are restored by lots of reactions harmoneously occuring similtaneously, one of which is ascorbic acid(vitiman C) acting as an enzyme for the reaction between hydroxyprolase and hydroxylysine which are the foundation of collagen tissue which builds and restores skin. \n\nIn other words, increasing your water and vitiman C intake may help restore the cells not permanatly damaged and will give you better looking skin in the long run,hope that helps you a little!
