Question: 1 / 400

Which area is NOT evaluated in the integumentary system of Rowdy, a Palomino?

Skin and hide

Mucous membranes

The integumentary system encompasses structures such as skin, hair, hooves, and mucous membranes. When evaluating Rowdy, a Palomino, the focus would be primarily on the external protective structures that relate directly to the integumentary system.

Mucous membranes, while important for overall health and functioning of certain systems, are typically considered part of the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems instead of the integumentary system. Thus, they are not typically evaluated in the context of the integumentary system assessment.

The other areas—skin and hide, hooves, and hair—are integral components of the integumentary system. They help protect internal structures, regulate temperature, and facilitate various sensory functions. This distinction clarifies why mucous membranes do not fit within the evaluation criteria when assessing the integumentary system.
