  2. Apocrine sweat gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocrine_sweat_gland

    An apocrine sweat gland (/ ˈ æ p ə k r ə n,-ˌ k r aɪ n,-ˌ k r iː n /; from Greek apo 'away' and krinein 'to separate') [5] [6] is composed of a coiled secretory portion located at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, from which a straight portion inserts and secretes into the infundibular portion of the hair follicle. [7]

  3. Merocrine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merocrine

    Merocrine is the most common manner of secretion. The gland releases its product and no part of the gland is lost or damaged (compare holocrine and apocrine). The term eccrine is specifically used to designate merocrine secretions from sweat glands (eccrine sweat glands), [1] although the term merocrine is often used interchangeably. [2] [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry_of_body_odor

    There are three types of sweat glands: eccrine, apocrine, and apoeccrine. [1] Apocrine glands are primarily responsible for body malodor and, along with apoeccrine glands, are mostly expressed in the axillary (underarm) regions, whereas eccrine glands are distributed throughout virtually all of the rest of the skin in the body, although they are also particularly expressed in the axillary ...

  5. Sweat gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat_gland

    [37] [7] It was originally thought that apocrine sweat glands use apocrine secretion due to histological artifacts resembling "blebs" on the cell surface, however, recent electron micrographs indicate that the cells use merocrine secretion. [50] In both apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, the sweat is originally produced in the gland's coil ...

  6. Apocrine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocrine

    Apocrine (/ ˈ æ p ə k r ɪ n /) [1] is a term used to classify the mode of secretion of exocrine glands. In apocrine secretion, secretory cells accumulate material at their apical ends, often forming blebs or "snouts", and this material then buds off from the cells, forming extracellular vesicles .

  7. Exocrine gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exocrine_gland

    Merocrine – the cells of the gland excrete their substances by exocytosis into a duct; for example, pancreatic acinar cells, eccrine sweat glands [dubious – discuss], salivary glands, goblet cells, intestinal glands, tear glands, etc. Apocrine – the apical portion of the cytoplasm in the cell membrane, which contains the excretion, buds off.

  9. Perspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspiration

    Apocrine sweat glands are restricted to the armpits and a few other areas of the body and produce an odorless, oily, opaque secretion which then gains its characteristic odor from bacterial decomposition. In humans, sweating is primarily a means of thermoregulation, which is achieved by the water-rich secretion of the eccrine glands. Maximum ...
