Q

Functions of Skin (cont’d)

A
  • Produces sweat: sweat glands produce a watery secretion that evaporates and cools
  • Produces sebum: sebaceous glands produce an oily secretion that lubricates the skin and hair
  • Receives sensation: pain, temperature, pressure, and touch
  • Thermoregulates: interprets message from heat center in the brain

Q

Accessory Organs of Skin (cont’d) 3

A

Glands: sebaceous and sweat

  • Sebaceous glands secrete oily sebum into the hair follicle to lubricate.
  • Sweat glands secrete into pores to moisten and cool.
  • Both are subject to bacterial growth.
