_______ Glands in the Skin Help Maintain Body Temperature

Question

_______ glands in the skin help maintain body temperature.
A) Sweat
B) Sebum
C) Oil
D) Epidermal

Accepted Answer

Sweat glands produce sweat, which helps the body cool down by evaporating from the skin's surface. This helps in maintaining the body temperature. Sebum and oil glands produce oils that lubricate and moisturize the skin, but they do not play a role in regulating body temperature. Epidermal glands do not exist; the epidermis is a layer of the skin, not a gland.
