Detailed explanation-1: -Sweat glands secrete sweat in response to nervous stimuli, primarily heat stimuli, but also emotional and gustatory (food) stimuli. What is sweat? Sweat consists primarily of water and electrolytes. The primary electrolytes contained in sweat are sodium and chloride.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sweating is the release of liquid from the body’s sweat glands. This liquid contains salt. This process is also called perspiration. Sweating helps your body stay cool. Sweat is commonly found under the arms, on the feet, and on the palms of the hands.
Detailed explanation-3: -’By regularly being in hot environments or making considerable efforts, you can triple your sweat capacity from an average of one litre per hour to three. Exercising intensively or regularly exposing yourself to heat will lead you to not only develop more sweat glands, but for them to grow larger.
Detailed explanation-4: -Its main function is to control body temperature. As the water in the sweat evaporates, the surface of the skin cools. An additional function of sweat is to help with gripping, by slightly moistening the palms.
