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.
