Question

1. the coiled tubular structures arising from the dermis that excrete sweat are the:

○ sebaceous glands
○ holocrine glands
○ merocrine glands
○ sudoriferous glands

1. the outer layer of skin is called the:

○ dermis
○ paradermis
○ epidermis
○ subdermis

Explanation:

Question 1

Sebaceous glands secrete sebum, holocrine glands (like sebaceous) release whole cells, merocrine glands (e.g., some sweat glands) secrete without cell damage but the term for sweat - producing glands from dermis is sudoriferous glands. Sudoriferous glands include eccrine (merocrine) and apocrine, and they are coiled tubular structures in dermis that excrete sweat.

The skin has two main layers: epidermis (outer) and dermis (inner). Paradermis and subdermis are not standard terms for skin layers. The outer layer is epidermis, which is composed of stratified squamous epithelium.

Answer:

D. sudoriferous glands
