I’m 100% sure this should be bones
Lol, this one I could argue it’s true tho. Since without the sweat there wouldn’t be body odor. And the bacteria are actually transported by the sweat, so without sweat there wouldn’t be body odor so I do see that as the main cause… Tho I get the point why its false, I still think true is the more correct answer…

Nope. They’re all nerves. The lumber nerves are 5 spinal nerves, sacral is bladder and bowels, the median is one of the three major nerves of the forearm and hand, which is similar with the ulnar nerve. The digital nerve is in your fingers, the maxillary is in the face, and the tibial in the leg.
As for the other, please don’t argue, it’s just pub quiz. Yes, the answer is still false. The reason for this is that sweat alone is not the main cause of body odor, hence the question’s wording. It was a trick question.
