Question
which cutaneous glands are concerned with cooling the body?
multiple choice
sebaceous glands
exothermic glands
merocrine glands
apocrine glands
ceruminous glands
Brief Explanations
Merocrine glands, also known as eccrine glands, secrete sweat directly onto the skin surface. As sweat evaporates, it cools the body. Sebaceous glands produce sebum for skin and hair lubrication. There are no "exothermic glands" in human anatomy. Apocrine glands secrete into hair follicles and are related to body odor rather than cooling. Ceruminous glands produce ear - wax.
