Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Sweat glands produced from stratum germinativum, plays an important role in the regulation of body temperature. When the body temperature rises too much, the sweat glands are stimulated to take up water from blood vessels and to pour out their secretion on the general surface of the skin. Evaporation of sweat from the body surface uses up latent heat of vaporization from the skin, thus the extra heat of the body is used up and the body cools down reducing the temperature.
