Which Membrane is the Largest Organ of the Integumentary System

Question

Which membrane is the largest organ of the integumentary system?
A)Cutaneous
B)Mucous
C)Parietal
D)Visceral

Accepted Answer

The cutaneous membrane, also known as skin, is the largest organ of the integumentary system, comprising approximately 16% of the total body weight. The mucous membrane lines various cavities and passages in the body, the parietal membrane lines the internal surface of the body wall, and the visceral membrane covers internal organs. While all of these membranes are important for bodily functions, none of them are as large or extensive as the cutaneous membrane.
