Question 1 of 5
Merocrine sweat glands
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because merocrine sweat glands secrete a watery fluid directly onto the surface of the skin through exocytosis. This process helps regulate body temperature by evaporative cooling. Choice B is incorrect as merocrine sweat glands are simple coiled tubular glands, not compound alveolar glands. Choice C is incorrect as the number and activity of merocrine sweat glands decrease with aging. Choice D is incorrect as body odor is primarily produced by apocrine sweat glands, not merocrine sweat glands.
