How does regular activity and exercise benefit the integumentary system?

  1. Improves flexibility

  2. Improves strength

  3. Quality and health of the skin is improved

  4. Reduces risk of diabetes

The correct answer is: Improves flexibility

Regular activity and exercise benefits the integumentary system in various ways. It helps to improve flexibility, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy range of motion in our joints. This in turn supports the health of our skin, as the skin is connected to underlying muscles and bones. While regular exercise can also improve strength throughout the body, it is not the primary benefit for the integumentary system. Additionally, while exercise can help to maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of diabetes, these are not direct benefits for the integumentary system. Therefore, the best answer in this scenario is A Improves flexibility.
