Answer 1

Answer:

b) contains hair and arrector pili muscles

c) contains sweat glands

e)contains sebaceous glands

Explanation:

Skin is classified into two sorts: thin skin and thick skin. Thin skin is the transcendent kind of skin that’s covering the human body. It has a moderately thin epidermis and large containment of hair follicles, sebaceous organs and sweat organs.

Some of the attributes of thin skin:

- Thin Stratum corner

- Hair follicles

- Sebaceous organs

- Arrector pili muscles

Stratum corner — the outermost layer of the skin that consists of keratin cells.

Hair follicle — a connective tissue that surrounds hair’s root.

Sebaceous glands — serve to protect the body from microorganisms and they secret the acids that form the acid mantle.It is a thin acid film on the surface of the skin with a role of barrier to microbes that might penetrate the skin.

Arrector pili muscles — tiny muscles that are attached to the hair follicles in mammals.They cause the hairs to stand on end.
