Choose one concept in our lesson today, give a brief explanation about the concept and cite how this learning can be applied in your daily life.
Most of the time, people only focus on the status of their internals to the point that we forget that our skin is an organ too, the largest one in fact. We often fail to give our integumentary system the same level of attention and care that we have for the other parts of our body when it is actually its first line of defense against infection and injuries.
After finishing this lesson, I realized that most individuals only see their exteriors as accessories to their looks. Thus, we need to be reminded that caring for our skin, hair, and nails shouldn’t be only for aesthetics because these body parts have a greater purpose than that. Altogether, they contribute to us achieving homeostasis and optimum health.
