The skin has only 2 layers—epidermis and dermis. Hypodermis, if that’s what you have in mind as the third, isn’t considered part of the skin.
The epidermis is a barrier to infection, trauma, and water loss (dehydration); it’s important to our social interactions; and it’s the body’s largest sense organ. The dermis provides toughness and resistance to mechanical stress; provides blood vessels that come close to the epidermis and nourish it (but don’t enter it); contains a variety of sensory receptors for touch, heat, cold, pressure, and vibration; and is an arena of immune defense in which white blood cells can rally at a site of infection and fight off intruders.

Answer:
because the sympathetic nervous system is no longer active following strenuous exercise.
Explanation:
People are supercharging the natural greenhouse effect, which raises the earth's temperature, if the amount of industry and auto emissions increases and more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.
<h3>How do carbon emissions grow over time?</h3>
Nearly all of the 150-year rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is a result of human activity. Burning fossil fuels for transportation, electricity, and heating accounts for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity in the United States.
<h3>How do emissions affect the environment?</h3>
They contribute to respiratory problems from smog and air pollution, and they influence the climate by trapping heat. Other consequences of climate change brought on by greenhouse gases include more wildfires, extreme weather, and interruptions in the food supply.
