5.

The skin acts to maintain homeostasis by the regulation of body temperature.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The skin plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating body temperature. When the body gets too hot, the skin helps cool it down through the process of sweating. Sweat is produced by sweat glands in the skin, and as it evaporates, it cools the body. On the other hand, when the body gets too cold, the skin helps to conserve heat by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the skin's surface. This helps to keep the body warm. Therefore, the statement "The skin acts to maintain homeostasis by the regulation of body temperature" is true.

During the 3rd and 4th foetal months, hair follicles begin to form. This is the period in which the hair follicles develop and grow, ultimately leading to the growth of hair on the scalp.
