What does the integumentary system include?

skin
skin and hair
skin, hair, and nails
skin, hair, nails and their associated glands

The correct answer is: skin, hair, nails and their associated glands

The integumentary system is a crucial part of the body's anatomy, primarily responsible for protecting internal structures, regulating temperature, and providing sensory information. It includes not only the skin but also hair, nails, and various associated glands, such as sweat and sebaceous glands. The inclusion of glands is significant because they play essential roles in processes like thermoregulation and hydration, further contributing to the system's protective functions. Understanding the full range of components helps in appreciating the complexity and functionality of the integumentary system. Other options may list some components of the integumentary system, but they do not encompass all elements that are vital to its comprehensive definition and function.
