Integumentary Flashcards
(39 cards)
external covering of an animal
integument
functions of the integumentary system
covering/protection from UV rays secretion/excretion of substances sensation respiration (in frogs) regulation of temp.
invaginated epidermal cells with a segmented shape
chaetae
what animal is chaetae found in?
annelids (ex: earthworms)
describe the integument of invertebrates
smooth single-layered epidermal cells
waxy, noncellular protective layer secreted by external epithelium
cuticle
what is cuticle made of?
chitin
what has thick and elastic cuticle?
rotifers
what has thick and rigid cuticle?
arachnids and insect
periodic molting/shedding of old cuticle
ecdyisis
what goes through ecdyisis?
arthropods
type of integument of corals and crabs
shell
flattened integument, contains eggs and testes
tegument
what type of animal has tegument?
tapeworms
layers of the skin
epidermis
dermis
hypodermis
skin that is thick and slimy, secretes cuticle
jawless fish (lamprey, hadfish)
multilayered skin with mucous and sensory cells
cartilaginous fish (sharks)
blood vessels and nerves embedded in dermis, has a sandpaper texture
denticles
scales embedded in dermis in charge of mucous, poison production, secretion
bony fish (bangus, tilapia)
used for recognition and warning signal
photophores
keratinized skin (UV protection) and secretes mucous (prevent desiccation)
amphibians (frogs, toads)
glands for respiration and escape from predation
mucous glands
glands to escape predation
poison glands
heavily keratinized, dry
lack epidermal glands, instead modify into thick scales and scutes
reptiles (turtle)
