Question 5 • GA-Essentials of Healthcare

Which are functions of the integumentary system? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
protection for organs
B
support for organs
C
excretion of waste
D
maintenance of body temperature
E
movement

Explanation

The integumentary system, including the skin, protects the body and its organs from injury and helps regulate body temperature through sweating and changes in blood flow. Sweat also carries small amounts of waste out of the body, so excretion is a function. Supporting organs and producing movement are not primary functions of this system.
