Body of a sweat gland cut in various directions. Generally, sweat glands consist of a secretory unit that produces sweat, and a duct that carries the sweat away. The secretory coil or base, is set deep in the lower dermis and hypodermis, and the entire gland is surrounded by adipose tissue.
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 gland densities are characterized for five subjects (two females and three males) on the index finger pad, palm, back of hand, wrist, forearm, forehead, and back of neck ( Fig. 2A).
The secretory parts of the glands are located within the subcutis and the upper part of a sweat gland which is extending from the dermis to the epidermis up to the skin surface is called "sweat...
There is a higher whole body, and regional, sweat rate in Men due to greater cholinergic sensitivity and maximal sweating rate. This can occur only at high evaporative requirements for heat balance. Higher whole body sweat rate in Men can be related to a higher body mass and metabolic heat production, rather than sex/gender.
Eccrine sweat glands are found in virtually all skin, with the highest density in the palms of the hands, and soles of the feet, and on the head, but much less on the torso and the extremities. In other mammals, they are relatively sparse, being found mainly on hairless areas such as foot pads.
