A function of the sweat glands are ____
A
To make vitamin D
B
Produce melanin
C
Control body temperature
D
For protection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -That’s because cooling your body via sweating relies on a principle of physics called “heat of vaporization.” It takes energy to evaporate sweat off of your skin, and that energy is heat. As your excess body heat is used to convert beads of sweat into vapor, you start to cool down.

Detailed explanation-2: -The eccrine sweat gland, which is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, regulates body temperature. When internal temperature rises, the eccrine glands secrete water to the skin surface, where heat is removed by evaporation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thermoregulation: Sweat lowers body temperature by cooling the skin’s surface via evaporation and evaporative heat loss.
