Which action is an example of a chemical defense in your skin? a. sweating palms b. growing long hair c. developing calluses

C. Developing calluses

Explanation:

Our skin is a multilayered epithelium (the epidermis) underlain by a layer of stem cells that give rise both to more of themselves and to keratinocytes, the major cell type in the skin. As keratinocytes move toward the outer surface, they become increasingly flattened and filled with keratin intermediate filaments.  The deposition of keratin in the skin can be increased in response to abrasion, producing calluses.

I would say sweating palms

Explanation:

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
