Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the integumentary system. The integumentary system is primarily responsible for protecting the body and includes structures such as the skin, hair, nails, and associated glands (e.g., sweat glands and sebaceous glands).

Step 2: Review the components listed in the question. Identify which ones are part of the integumentary system: Sweat glands, nails, and hair are all directly associated with the skin and are part of the integumentary system.

Step 3: Consider the liver. The liver is an internal organ that plays a role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion, but it is not part of the integumentary system.

Step 4: Compare the liver to the other options. Since the liver does not contribute to the protective functions or structures of the integumentary system, it is the correct answer to the question.

Step 5: Conclude that the liver is NOT a part of the integumentary system, while sweat glands, nails, and hair are integral components of this system.
