Given the following choices;
- keratinocytes: physical
- barrier eccrine glands: excretion
- apocrine gland: thermoregulation
- tactile corpuscles: cutaneous sensation
The answer is; apocrine gland: Thermoregulation.
The main function of the apocrine gland in most mammals is excretion. They are pores on the skin that secretes oils and pheromones.Eccrine glands, on the other hand, are mainly involved in the secretion of sweat for thermoregulation.
