Examples: The gene for seed shape in pea plants exists in two forms, one form or allele for round seed shape (R) and the other for wrinkled seed shape (r). A true-breeding round seed plant would be (RR) for that trait and a true-breeding wrinkled seed plant would be (rr).
Apart from that, the regulation of body temperature, preventing pathogens from entering the body, perspiration, generation of vitamin D, and protection from UV rays are some of the other functions of the integumentary system. Protection of the body from dehydration is also one of the important functions.
of a body system, we will first think about the organs/tissues that work together to perform. the function(s) of that system. The integumentary system consists of a major organ, skin, and many epidermal derivatives. (accessory organs), which include hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and nails. In addition, the organs of the integumentary system are composed of many different tissues. that perform common functions. Look at Figure 6.2, page 162, and name as many different. tissues as you can.
