Question: 1 / 400

What are the five skin functions that can be remembered with the acronym SHAPES?

Sensation, heat regulation, absorption, protection, excretion

The correct answer is "Sensation, heat regulation, absorption, protection, excretion (SHAPES)." This acronym helps to remember the five essential functions of the skin.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the functions of the skin as listed in the SHAPES acronym:

- Option B includes "hair growth" as one of the functions, which is not part of the SHAPES acronym.

- Option C replaces "excretion" with "hydration," which is not in line with the SHAPES acronym.

- Option D includes "hair regulation" and "perspiration," which are not part of the SHAPES functions.
