<span>Increased activity of merocrine sweat glands
Merocrine refers to the exocrine glands (or cells) whose secretions are excreted outside of the cell from the secretory cells, then into an epithelial-walled duct(s), and finally onto the surface of the body. Merocrine secretions from the sweat glands are specifically called eccrine.
Sweat glands are structures of the skin that produce sweat in order to cool the body upon evaporation of the sweat. As a person grows older, his sweat glands become less active. This could impair perspiration or sweating, and increases the risks of overheating in the elderly. </span>
Answer should be D) habitat
Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate. Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
