Question
Which of the following is NOT a primary function of the skin?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Digestion is not a function of the skin. The skin's primary functions include protection (barrier against pathogens and physical damage), thermoregulation (sweating and vasodilation/constriction), and sensation (touch, pressure, pain, temperature).
Hint
This process occurs in the digestive tract, not in the integumentary system.
