The lesson that interested me the most is the integumentary system. Learning about the skin, especially, and its role in the body’s thermoregulation made me think more about the effects of environmental stimuli on our skin. I think that being knowledgeable on the skin, more so what goes on when we feel hot or cold, could be beneficial. Since shivering and sweating are responses of the body and are signs that the body is in need of regulation, we become more conscious of what to do in these cases (like drinking something cold or hot to help regulate the temperature of our body). Moreover, since the integumentary system is our physical barrier against bacteria, infection, injury, sunlight, etc., I am inclined to take care of myself more.
