Question

1 part of 1 point which skin function is not correctly matched with the structure that accounts for that function? apocrine gland: thermoregulation keratinocytes: physical barrier eccrine glands: excretion tactile corpuscles: cutaneous sensation check answer

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Keratinocytes form a physical barrier (correct, as they produce keratin for protection).
• Eccrine glands secrete sweat, aiding excretion (correct, as sweat contains wastes like urea).
• Tactile corpuscles are involved in cutaneous sensation (correct, for touch perception).
• Apocrine glands are not for thermoregulation (eccrine glands are for that). Apocrine glands are associated with scent/milky secretions, not thermoregulation. So "apocrine gland: thermoregulation" is the mismatched pair.

Answer:

A. apocrine gland: thermoregulation
