How is perspiration excreted from the body?

Through the hair
Through the nails
Through the skin
Through the eyes

The correct answer is: Through the skin

Sweat, or perspiration, is produced by sweat glands located in the skin. These glands secrete water and salt, as well as other waste products, to cool the body. It is then pushed out through tiny pores on the surface of the skin. This process is essential for maintaining a healthy body temperature. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because sweat is not excreted through any of those areas of the body. Hair and nails are made of dead cells and do not have the capability to produce or release sweat. Similarly, tears released through the eyes do not contain sweat and serve a different purpose.
