Though not always clearly‚ evidences of some internal disorders‚ external affronts—bumps‚ cuts‚ chafe‚ insect bites‚ and other reactions. The external morphology identifies what one is. The integument serves as a factor for survival. The integument system of the aquatic and terrestrial organisms conforms to a basic morphologic pattern‚ with a multi-layered epidermis derived from ectoderm and a dermis from a mesoderm. The protective roe of the integument is primary to protect the internal organs from

Skin or otherwise know as cutaneous membrane makes up a vast majority of the Integumentary System. Skin acts as a barrier from bacteria‚ UV radiation‚ and physical trauma. Due to being such a large portion of the body‚ skin is exposed to a wide quantity of factors that can contribute to the damage. The cause of skin damage can be anywhere from cuts‚ burns‚ to even diseases. Once the skin is damaged the complex response system takes action. Some individuals with scars go a step further with removal of
