The sweat glands are simple tubular exocrine glands that are found in the superficial hypodermis bordering on the dermis. They discharge their contents onto the surface of the skin via coiled secretory ducts (see the diagram opposite). The ducts open out onto epidermal ridges at a sweat pore.
Unlike the apocrine glands, eccrine glands open directly on the surface of the skin. A secretory duct connects the highly coiled secretory portion of the gland to the epidermis and secretes the sweat contents through a sweat pore on the surface of the epidermis.
