integumentary system









































the integumentary system comprises the skin and its appendages acting to protect the body from various kinds of damage, such as loss of water or damages from outside. the integumentary system includes hair, scales, feathers, hooves, and nails. it has a variety of additional functions; it may serve to waterproof, and protect the deeper tissues, excrete wastes, and regulate body temperature, and is the attachment site for sensory receptors to detect pain, sensation, pressure, and temperature. in most land vertebrates with significant exposure to sunlight, the integumentary system also provides for vitamin d synthesis.
