The integumentary system of a pig consists of the skin, hair, nails, and associated glands, serving as a protective barrier against environmental threats and pathogens. The skin regulates temperature, aids in sensation, and prevents water loss. Hair provides insulation and can also play a role in communication and camouflage. Additionally, sebaceous and sweat glands in the skin help maintain moisture and regulate body temperature.
