Protection, vitamin D production, excretion, sensation, and body temperature, (immunity)
49
What are the layers of the integumentary system? (superficial to deep)
Epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis
50
What are the layers of the epidermis? (deep to superficial)
Stratum basale Stratum spinosum Stratum granulosum Stratum lucidum Stratum corneum

Wet
58
What does vitamin D promote?
Calcium absorption
59
What happens when UV light hits epidermis?
