    Glossary Sweat Glands

    small skin structures producing sweat for temperature regulation

    Sweat glands, also known as sudoriferous glands, are small tubular structures in the skin responsible for producing sweat. They play a crucial role in regulating body temperature and excreting waste products. There are two main types: eccrine glands, which are found all over the body and primarily help with cooling, and apocrine glands, which are located in specific areas like the armpits and groin and are associated with body odor.
