Question

Which one of the following functions is correctly matched?

• A. Saliva- Taste
• B. Sweat- Thermoregulation
• C. Maculae- For hearing
• D. Organ of Corti- For balancing

Answer 1

The correct option is B Sweat- Thermoregulation

Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different. When the hypothalamus senses an increase in core temperature it acts by increasing blood flow to the skin, stimulating the sweat glands. The result is an increase in the rate of water lost through sweating.

So, the correct answer is 'Sweat- Thermoregulation'
