Distinguish between the locations and secretions of apocrine and eccrine sweat glands
What will be an ideal response?
Eccrine sweat glands are more numerous than apocrine sweat glands; they are found all over the body. Eccrine sweat glands function in body temperature regulation. When we are too hot, eccrine sweat glands release sweat containing water, salts, vitamin C, and metabolic wastes on to the body's surface. Upon its evaporation, we are cooled down. The ducts of apocrine sweat glands empty into hair follicles in the axillary and genital areas. Apocrine sweat glands activate at puberty and produce sweat almost continuously, but their overall function is not known. Apocrine sweat is milky or yellowish in color due to fatty acids and proteins in the secretions.
