Infusions of adrenaline also caused a continuous discharge which was usually biphasic in its onset. Other drugs were ineffective. 5. Assuming that the brief sweat discharges are due to myoepithelial contractions and the continuous discharges to sustained increases in secretion, equine sweat glands seem...
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
Human sweat glands have many immunohistochemical markers. Some of them are specific to apocrine sweat glands, although many of them stain both eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. Histochemical techniques, especially immunohistochemistry using a confocal laser scanning microscope and in situ hybridization, ...
"Sebocytes' makeup" - Novel mechanisms and concepts in the physiology of the human sebaceous glands The pilosebaceous unit of the human skin consists of the hair follicle and the sebaceous gland. Within this "mini-organ", the sebaceous gland has been negl... BI Tóth,A Oláh,Attila G. Sz...
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: ...
Figure 1. The skin is composed of two main layers: the epidermis, made of closely packed epithelial cells, and the dermis, made of dense, irregular connective tissue that houses blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, and other structures. Beneath the dermis lies the hypodermis, which is...
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...
Impregnated within the epidermis and dermis are specialized 'adnexa', which include hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and a com- plex neural network (Figure 1). The epidermis, which develops from the embry- onic ectoderm, comprises B5% of full-thickness skin by weight. It is ...
Sebaceous glands work in tandem with the sweat-producing eccrine glands to regulate body temperature. In hot conditions, the excreted sebum mixes with sweat to slow the rate of evaporation. In cold temperatures, the sebum will contain more lipids to shield the hair and skin from moisture that ...
The Anatomy of Skin Theskin's anatomyis composed of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, andsubcutaneous tissue.2These layers are home to sweat glands, oil glands,hair follicles, blood vessel, and certain vital immune cells. Functions of the Epidermis ...
