Answer: Skin, hair, nails, and glands

Explanation:

The integumentary system is an organ system. It consists of skin, hair, feathers, scales, hooves, exocrine glands and nails. These structures provides the external protection to the body from different types of damage like loss of water, injury and invasion of pathogens.  

The skin is a thick outer cover of the entire body. It protects the body from incident UV rays, chemicals, physical damage and diseases.

The nails and hair are the extensions from the skin. They are composed of hard keratin material. They also provide protection against unfavorable external environmental conditions.

The exogenous glands are the glands which are present over the superficial tissues. These produce secretions which protects the entry of microbes inside the body.

Lions live in the south Sahara Desert in breeding groups called prides. Females tend to stay in their pride, but males may leave
kotykmax [81]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

This mechanism describes the necessity of males to lead and form their own pride to show their dominance and power. That is why young lions leave and wander, and when they are ready, they fight for their right to lead their own pride.

So yes, Females tend to stay in their pride, but males may leave to join another pride. And that is the male instinct for lions in the wildlife.

On the other hand, males tend to stay in the same pride, taking care of their cubs, raising them, and hunting. That is what they do best, hunt animals to feed the pride and the cubs.
