Question #1
Consider statements about human skin: 1. The epidermis is the outermost layer. 2. Sweat glands help in thermoregulation. 3. Melanin protects against UV radiation. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The skin consists of the outer epidermis and the inner dermis. The epidermis contains melanocytes that produce melanin, a pigment that absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation, protecting deeper tissues. Sweat glands in the dermis secrete sweat onto the skin surface; its evaporation removes heat, playing a crucial role in body thermoregulation. All statements are correct.
