1. Enumerate what type of integumentary system each phyla possesses and
describe its function.
Phylum
Function
Type of Integumentary
System
• Simple Integumentary
System
Composed of a single
layer of columnar
epithelial cells called as
pinacoderm
Integument do not have
true tissues; Parazoa
Thin integumentary system
Porifera
Produce mucus
to prevent
infection
• Can be ciliated
or flagellated to
move food
particles into
their body
With cnidocytes
which assist in
paralyzing prey
• With nerve cells
that trigger
Cnidaria
motor
responses
Platyhelminthes
Echinodermata
Mollusca
Nematoda
Arthropoda
Annelida
Chordata
In Phylum Chordata the
integument is soft and contains
no hard skeletal parts, but many
members have bony elements,
derived from the dermis, present
in the skin.
The integument
or skin protects
the body from
the entry of
foreign bodies
and prevent from
the mechanical
injuries
