Solution
The correct option is A Sweat gland The dermis is enriched by blood and lymph vessels, hair follicles, and sebaceous and sweat glands. Sweat glands are also called sudoriferous glands. They are small tubular structures situated within and under the skin. They produce sweat. Sweat is a transparent colourless acidic fluid which is composed of fatty acids and minerals. Sweat helps in regulation of body temperature and is microbicidal in action.
