The basic structure and the physiological function of human sweat glands were reviewed. Histochemical and cytochemical techniques greatly contributed the elucidation of the ionic mechanism of sweat secretion. X-ray microanalysis using freeze-dried cryosections clarified the level of Na, K, and Cl in ...

Sweat gland, either of two types of secretory skin glands occurring only in mammals. The eccrine sweat gland, which is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, regulates body temperature. Apocrine sweat glands, which are associated with hair follicl
SWEAT GLANDS/physiologySWEAT collected from normal male subjects carrying out work at high temperatures and humidities was analysed for chloride, lactic acid and urea. The osmotic pressure, as estimated by the freezing point in two hundred samples, is found to be accounted for by the osmotic ...
structures located in the skin. They areexocrine glands, hence they secrete substances on the epithelial surface via ducts. The glandsproduce sweat, which is important for thermoregulation. There are two types of sweat glands, eccrine and apocrine and each one produces a different type of sweat....
Biology of sweat glands and its disorders. I. Normal sweat gland function Part I of this article (J Am Acad Dermatol 1989; 20:537-63) focused on normal sweat gland function. Part II provides a discussion of hyperhidrosis and hypohidrosis. Hyperhidrotic disorders affect the palms and soles ...
However, thermal stimulation led to a significant increase in the number of secreting sweat glands in galanin knockout mice. To further evaluate possible differences in the innervation of sweat glands that could explain differences in their secretory activity, immunohistochemical labeling of cutaneous and...
Mammary glands arederivedfrom a modification ofsweat glands. They first appear inembryoniclife as clumps of cells proliferating from a longitudinal ridge of ectoderm (the outermost of the three germ layers of the embryo) along the so-calledmilk line, from the buds, or beginnings, of the lower...

Pores in cells, known as channels, allow the regulated transportation of molecules and ions necessary for cellular function. Below are described the specific functions of the sweat pore, oil pore, and lactiferous duct. Sweat Pore Function There are two types of sweat glands in the skin: ...
