Answer to Question 1

2
The eccrine glands are sweat-producing glands that play a role in thermoregulation. The apocrine glands produce odorless and milky secretions. Sebaceous glands produce sebum, which functions as a waterproofing layer. Hydriatric is a term meaning treatment with water.

Answer to Question 2

1
Carotenoids are responsible for the yellow tone of the skin in some individuals. Langerhans' cells are responsible for foreign antigen recognition, and they provide immune protection. Melanocytes are responsible for skin pigmentation. Merkel cells are thought to be involved in sensing touch and pressure.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
