What term describes the protective outer layer of the body?

Integumentary
Musculoskeletal
Gastrointestinal
Cardiovascular

The correct answer is: Integumentary

The term that describes the protective outer layer of the body is "Integumentary." The integumentary system consists mainly of the skin, which serves as the body's first line of defense against environmental hazards such as pathogens, chemicals, and physical injuries. Additionally, this system plays essential roles in regulating temperature, providing sensory information, and synthesizing vitamin D. The other systems mentioned, such as "musculoskeletal," which involves bones and muscles for support and movement; "gastrointestinal," which pertains to the digestive system; and "cardiovascular," which relates to the heart and blood vessels, do not serve the function of providing a protective outer layer. Each of those systems has distinct roles within the body that do not include direct protection against environmental threats.
