Every time it rained, each human would absorb water like a sponge. The skin also acts as a protective covering keeping underlying tissues from bacterial invasion and harmful light rays and from drying out. As a Medical NCO, it is important for you to understand the complex functions of the skin. ---------------------- Length: 97 Pages Estimated Hours to Complete: 8 Format: PDF file Size: 1.2 MB ---------------------- Subcourse Components: Lesson 1, Anatomy and Physiology of the Integumentary System.
