What is the primary function of sudoriferous glands?

  1. Excretion of excess water, salt, and unwanted chemicals

  2. Production of sebum

  3. Sensing touch and pressure

  4. Radiation of body heat

The correct answer is: Excretion of excess water, salt, and unwanted chemicals

Sudoriferous glands, also known as sweat glands, are responsible for the excretion of excess water, salt, and unwanted chemicals from the body through the production of sweat. This process helps regulate the body's temperature and maintain a proper balance of electrolytes. Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands, responsible for keeping the skin and hair lubricated. Sensing touch and pressure are functions of the sensory receptors in the skin, not the sudoriferous glands. Radiation of body heat is primarily the function of the blood vessels near the skin's surface.
