Much has to do with your DNA (or predisposition to sweating) and how your sweat glands are distributed. The placement of specific sweat glands also shapes how you sweat. If you sweat excessively in one particular area, you could have a higher concentration of sweat glands there. For exam...
These glands are unevenly distributed and mediate thermoregulation through the evaporation of secreted sweat. This physiological function is disordered in hyperhidrosis (HH), a state of excessive sweating over and above what is physiological, and is a mysterious but common disorder. With an estimated ...
Sweat glandsare tubular structures located within the deeper dermal tissue that contain a rich network of capillaries and nerve fibers. The investigation ofsweatglandinnervationbegan simultaneously to the initial studies of cutaneous epidermal nociceptive C-fibers usingskin biopsies[1]. Recently, the wides...
1 to 2% is a small amount of urea, lactic acid, fatty acid and so on. Sweat (sweat) is a liquid secreted by sweat glands. Sweating induced by spurs due to increased external temperature or increased thermogenesis in the body is called sweating. The transpiration regional wide distribution, ...
Sweat glands are classified into three main types: eccrine, apocrine, and apoeccrine (Sato1993; Sato et al.1989). Eccrine sweat glands will be the focus of this review because they are the most numerous (2–4 million), distributed across most of the body surface area (Sato1983,1993) and...
The average person has about 2 million sweat glands. Some people have as many as 4 million sweat glands. There are two kinds: eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine sweat glands are distributed just about everywhere on the body (ear canals, lips, and genitals are the exceptions). The sweat they se...
Apocrine sweat glands are distributed in the ___ regions of the body. Fluid within tissues is: a. lymph b. plasma c. interstitial Name the three major subdivisions of the extracellular fluid found in the body. Glands are usually made up of which tissue? A) ep...
2 They are mostly distributed in the axilla but also scattered in the mammary, perineal, and genital areas.2 The ratio between apocrine and eccrine glands is around 1:1 in the axilla, while being approximately 1:10 in other regions. They are present in the human skin at birth but are ...
An increased sweat production, elicited by HA, enhances the evaporative power and cooling capacity of the human body. On the other hand, the risk of an elevated sweat production is a concomitant elevation in ion losses. Sodium, chloride, and potassium are the ions that are secreted in the ...
Owing to the proximity of the ear canal to the central nervous system, in-ear electrophysiological systems can be used to unobtrusively monitor brain states. Here, by taking advantage of the ear’s exocrine sweat glands, we describe an in-ear integrated array of electrochemical and electrophysiolog...
