GPT 3.5
One function of the integumentary system is to form blood clots. When the skin is injured, blood vessels constrict and platelets form a clot to prevent excessive bleeding.
However, absorbing water and breaking down chemical bonds in food are not functions of the integumentary system. The integumentary system is responsible for protecting the body from external factors, regulating body temperature, and producing Vitamin D. It also plays a role in sensation and excretion. Growing new tissue is associated with wound healing, which involves the integumentary system as well.
