The suprapedal gland or mucous pedal gland is an anatomical feature found in some snails and slugs. It is a gland located inside the front end of the foot of gastropods. [1] The term suprapedal means "above the foot". The function of this gland is to produce mucus. The gland opens on the front end of the sole, on the ventral side of the foot. [1]

An ozopore is the opening of a defensive gland present in some arthropods, notably in millipedes of the order Polydesmida [1] and in harvestmen, the eight-legged arachnids also known as "daddy long-legs".

The efferents of the popliteal lymph nodes pass almost entirely alongside the femoral vessels to the deep inguinal lymph nodes, but a few may accompany the great saphenous vein, and end in the glands of the superficial subinguinal group.
Eccrine glands on their foot pads, like those on palms and soles of humans, did not evolve to cool either but rather increase friction and enhance grip. Dogs and cats have apocrine glands that are specialized in both structure and function located at the eyelids (Moll's glands), ears (ceruminous glands), anal sac, clitoral hood, and circumanal ...
Initially, within the eccrine glands, sweat has a high concentration of Na + ions. The Na + ions are re-absorbed into the tissue via the epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) that are located on the apical membrane of the cells that form the eccrine gland ducts (see Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 of the reference).

The tendons of several extrinsic foot muscle reach the sole: The tendons of the deep foot flexors in the posterior compartment of the leg, tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and flexor hallucis longus, passes behind the medial malleolus into the sole. The tendon of fibularis longus similarly passes behind the lateral malleolus into ...
