Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
The skin performs the function of regulating body temperature to help maintain homeostasis in the human body. Through processes such as sweating and dilation or constriction of blood vessels, the skin helps regulate body temperature in response to external and internal factors.
Filtration of blood, production of hormones, and digestion of food are functions associated with other organs or systems, not primarily with the skin.
