Question

multiple choice question
which type of glands in the skin are associated with pheromones (chemicals that influence the physiology or behavior of other individuals)?

○ merocrine

○ ceruminous

○ apocrine

○ sebaceous

Explanation:

Merocrine glands produce sweat for thermoregulation. Ceruminous glands make earwax. Sebaceous glands secrete sebum to lubricate skin/hair. Apocrine glands, found in areas like armpits, release substances that can contain pheromones, which affect other individuals' physiology or behavior.

Answer:

apocrine
