Observations on the human apocrine gland, on the sweat glands of other species, and on sweat gland activity in diseased states are only included insofar as the findings extend or supplement our knowledge about the secretory mechanism.doi:10.1007/978-3-642-46364-8_13J. Hess Thaysen...

Humans have two types of sweat glands; eccrine glands cover the entire body and produce sweat to regulate body temperature, whereas apocrine glands are mainly found in the armpits and have a limited role in body cooling. Sweat is a clear, hypotonic and odourless fluid often described as an ...
Eccrine sweat glands are identified from ductal pores (puncta) at the skin surface. These have a funnel-like appearance and an inner diameter of about 60–80 μm[3]. Over most of the skin surface, but particularly the non-glabrous regions, these pores are lined with keratinised cells, ...
This application relates generally to medical testing systems, devices and methods and, more particularly, to systems, devices and methods for assessing output from sweat glands (SGs).
