a complex organ system that comprises the skin, hair, nails, and associated glands. It plays crucial roles in protecting the body, regulating temperature, sensing stimuli, and producing essential substances.

a condition that occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, leading to a depletion of body fluids. This can result from factors such as: Insufficient water intake, Excessive sweating, Diarrhea or vomiting, and Fever.
