Sweat is produced and excreted by the sudoriferous and sudoriparous glands in the skin. these glands are exocrine glands that are part of the integumentary system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Regulation of body temperature: The skin has a large surface area that is highly vascularized, which allows it to conserve and release heat through vasoconstriction and vasodilation, respectively. When body temperatures rise, blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow and maximize the dissipation of heat.
