The integumenatry system is the organ system that contains the skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, and oil glands, as well as the skin appendages (including hair, scales, feathers, hoofs, and nails).. Skin is the largest organ in the body. The integumentary system has a variety of functions; it may serve to waterproof, cushion, and protect the deeper tissues, excrete wastes, and regulate temperature, and is the attachment site for sensory receptors to detect pain, sensation, pressure, and temperature. In most terrestrial vertebrates with significant exposure to sunlight, the integumentary system also provides for vitamin D synthesis.
