The purpose of this comprehensive review is to: 1) review the physiology of sweat gland function and mechanisms determining the amount and composition of sweat excreted onto the skin surface; 2) provide an overview of the well-established thermoregulatory functions and adaptive responses of the sweat gland; and 3) discuss the state of evidence ...

3 lis 2023 · Exocrine glands that produce sweat, located within the dermis/subcutis of the skin. Simple coiled glands whose watery excretion aids thermoregulation by evaporating from the body surface, thus cooling the body. Simple tubular glands whose excretion contributes to body odor.
Sweat glands are a type of exocrine gland, which are glands that produce and secrete substances onto an epithelial surface by way of a duct. There are two main types of sweat glands that differ in their structure, function, secretory product, mechanism of excretion, anatomic distribution, and distribution across species:

10 paź 2022 · Structure and Function. Eccrine sweat glands serve a thermoregulatory function via evaporative heat loss. When the body's internal temperature rises, sweat glands release water to the skin's surface. There, it quickly evaporates, subsequently cooling the skin and blood beneath.; this is the most effective means of thermoregulation in humans.
24 kwi 2023 · Eccrine sweat glands allow for temperature control. When body temperature rises during physical activity, increased ambient temperature, or fever, these glands respond by secreting sweat. This sweat is eventually evaporated from the surface of the skin, effectively cooling down body temperature.
