BASIC
 TIPS

 FOR

YOUR
SKIN
 CARE!

In
 this
 magazine,
 we
 are
 going
 to
 talk
 about
 the

different
 systems
 our
 body
 is
 made
 up
 and
 ways
 to

maintain
 them
 in
 good
 and
 healthy
 conditions.
 The

integumentary
 system
 consists
 of
 the
 organ
 systems

that
 compose
 the
 skin,
 hair,
 nails,
 and
 exocrine

glands.
 Skin
 is
 not
 that
 thick
 but
 yet
 it
 is
 our
 body´s

largest
 organ.
 Skin
 acts
 as
 a
 barrier
 to
 our
 body

protecting
 us
 against
 physical
 damage,
 UV
 light,

pathogens
 and
 serves
 to
 hold
 in
 the
 water
 in
 our

body.
 The
 skin
 consists
 of
 a
 3-­‐layer
 tissue:
 epidermis,

dermis,
 and
 hypodermis.
 Tendons,
 ligaments,
 and

cartilage
 are
 an
 essential
 part
 of
 our
 skeletal
 system

that
 helps
 us
 move
 our
 body
 around.
 The
 main

purpose
 of
 the
 bones
 in
 our
 body
 is
 to
 provide
 us

support
 and
 shape
 and
 also
 to
 protect
 our
 internal

organs
 from
 being
 injured.
 Our
 muscles
 work
 with

the
 help
 of
 our
 nervous
 system.
 The
 main
 functions

of
 our
 muscular
 system
 are:
 excitability,
 extensibility,

contractibility,
 and
 elasticity.
 Most
 of
 our
 body
 is

made
 up
 of
 muscles
 and
 they
 are
 attached
 to
 our

bones
 to
 help
 them
 move.
