SECTION 1: INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM (Questions 1-10)




Question 1
What is NOT a function of the integumentary system?

A) Acts as a barrier to disease-causing organisms
B) Helps regulate body temperature
C) Regulates hormonal function
D) Synthesizes vitamin D

Answer: C) Regulates hormonal function

Rationale: The integumentary system (skin) has several key functions
including acting as a barrier, regulating temperature, synthesizing vitamin D,
and eliminating waste through perspiration. However, regulating hormonal
function is NOT a function of the integumentary system—this is primarily the
role of the endocrine system. The acronym DERMA helps remember skin
functions: D (Vitamin D synthesis), E (Eliminates waste), R (Regulates
temperature), M (Makes information available to brain through receptors), A
(Acts as barrier) .
