Which areas of the body tend to be more absorptive?

Arms and legs
Head and genital areas
Hands and feet
Back and stomach

The correct answer is: Head and genital areas

The head and genital areas tend to be more absorptive than other areas of the body because they have a higher concentration of sweat glands and hair follicles, which can increase the rate of absorption compared to other areas. This is also why topical medications are often applied to these areas for faster absorption. The other options, such as the arms, legs, hands, feet, back, and stomach, may have some absorption capabilities but not to the same extent as the head and genital areas. It is important to note that the absorption rate may also vary depending on factors such as skin thickness, blood circulation, and presence of open wounds or cuts.
