A

thermoregulation.

18
Q

Which is the most abundant and widespread type of sweat gland?

A

eccrine

19
Q

When a blister forms due to friction, liquid pools between the epidermis and what other layer of the integument?

A

dermis

20
Q

Which connective tissue layer s found deep to the dermis?

A

hypodermis

21
Q

The thickness of skin is determined by the presence of the stratum lucidum and the thickness of the

A

stratum corneum.

22
Q

Holocrine secretion

A

involves the bursting of the glandular epithelial cell.

23
Q

Which layer of the skin invaginates downward to form sebum-producing glands?

A

epidermis

24
Q

Is the human integumentary system best adapted for hot or cold climates?

A

warm, because sweating cools us in hot climates but we would die in cold climates without clothing
