Answer: Skin, hair, nails, and glands

Explanation:

The integumentary system is an organ system. It consists of skin, hair, feathers, scales, hooves, exocrine glands and nails. These structures provides the external protection to the body from different types of damage like loss of water, injury and invasion of pathogens.  

The skin is a thick outer cover of the entire body. It protects the body from incident UV rays, chemicals, physical damage and diseases.

The nails and hair are the extensions from the skin. They are composed of hard keratin material. They also provide protection against unfavorable external environmental conditions.

The exogenous glands are the glands which are present over the superficial tissues. These produce secretions which protects the entry of microbes inside the body.

How is a raft different from a typical ecosystem when considering carrying capacity?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

A raft is a flat-bottom structure made of planks or barrels that has the capacity to float on water. While an ecosystem is a community of living organisms (biotic) interacting with there non-living (abiotic) environment as an ecological unit.

A raft by design cannot withstand much load because of it's size or can only accommodate  only one type of organism at a time but an ecosystem generally accommodates a community (different organisms), hence the carrying capacity of an ecosystem is way larger than that of a raft and indeed a raft can be part of an ecosystem at some point
