how do you say integumentary?

Homeschooling taught me a number of things, one of which is the following nugget from which I may never recover:

reading only rarely teaches you how to actually speak.

But, then, neither do sound recordings.

My book says: in-TEG-you-MENT-ah-ree

The guy who does the pronunciation recordings says" in-TEG-you-men-terry

Who do I believe? I just don't know. I guess I'll have to ask a doctor from the Midwest and then just go with it.
