Which pair is correct?
- Sebum = sexual attraction
- Saliva = sense of food taste
- Sweat = temperature regulation
- Humerus = Hind leg
Answer
(3) Sweat = temperature regulation
Solution
As per NCERT, sweat produced by the sweat glands is a watery fluid whose primary function is to facilitate a cooling effect on the body surface, i.e., temperature regulation.
⇒ Sebum from the sebaceous glands provides a protective oily covering for the skin.
⇒ Taste is sensed by taste buds; saliva only moistens and lubricates food.
⇒ Humerus is the bone of the fore limb (upper arm), not of the hind limb.
