The answer is the integumentary system.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The cardiovascular system: Incorrect. This system is responsible for circulating blood and transporting nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout the body.
  2. The digestive system: Incorrect. This system is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste.
  3. The endocrine system: Incorrect. This system is responsible for producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions.
  4. The integumentary system: Correct. This system includes the skin, hair, and nails, and it acts as a barrier to protect the body from pathogens like bacteria and viruses.
  5. The lymphatic system: Incorrect. This system helps in defending the body against infections and maintaining fluid balance, but it is not the primary barrier against pathogens.
  6. The muscular system: Incorrect. This system is responsible for movement and maintaining posture.
  7. The nervous system: Incorrect. This system controls and coordinates body activities by transmitting signals between different parts of the body.
  8. The reproductive system: Incorrect. This system is responsible for producing offspring.
  9. The respiratory system: Incorrect. This system is responsible for the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) in the body.
  10. The skeletal system: Incorrect. This system provides structure and support to the body and protects internal organs.
  11. The urinary system: Incorrect. This system is responsible for removing waste products from the blood and maintaining water and electrolyte balance.

Summary: The integumentary system is the organ system that protects you from pathogens like bacteria and viruses.
