Question 3
pts
Glands
8. Describe what an exocrine gland contains and how its contents
reach the surface of the skin.
9. What is a sebaceous gland?
10. What is the purpose of thermoregulation in the body?
Your Answer:
8. Exocrine glands contain secretions which are released through a
duct into and epithelial surface or lining
9. Sebaceous glands (oil glands) produce sebum
10. Thermoregulation helps the body to regulate it temperature.
Perspiration is one method in assisting thermoregulation
