question 14 of 100
which of the following is an important function of sudoriferous glands?
select the correct response:
they regulate body temperature and help eliminate waste products from the body.
they lubricate the skin.
they keep hair soft.
they prevent bacterial infections.

Explanation:

Sudoriferous glands are sweat glands. Their primary functions are thermoregulation (cooling the body as sweat evaporates) and excreting small amounts of waste products like urea. Lubricating skin, softening hair are functions of sebaceous glands, and preventing bacterial infections is not a core function of sweat glands.

Answer:

They regulate body temperature and help eliminate waste products from the body.
