What is the function of sweat?
- A.
To dry the skin
- B.
To cool the skin
- C.
To cleanse the skin
- D.
To lubricate the skin
Correct Answer
B. To cool the skinExplanation
Sweat is produced by sweat glands in the skin and its primary function is to cool the body. When we sweat, the moisture on our skin evaporates, taking away heat from the body and thus helping to regulate our body temperature. This is especially important during physical activities or in hot weather when our body temperature rises. Sweat also contains small amounts of waste products, which can contribute to cleansing the skin to some extent, but its main purpose is to cool rather than cleanse or lubricate the skin.Rate this question:
