Detailed explanation-1: -Apocrine sweat glands start to function at puberty under the stimulation of sex hormones. They are associated with hair follicles in the groin and axillary region. The viscous, protein-rich product is initially odorless but may develop an odor after exposure to bacteria.
Detailed explanation-2: -Apocrine sweat glands are concentrated in the axillae and groin. They become active at puberty, secrete continuously, and produce an odor due to bacterial decomposition. Eccrine sweat glands are found throughout the body except at mucocutaneous junctions and the nail beds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eccrine sweat glands are the most numerous, distributed across nearly the entire body surface area, and responsible for the highest volume of sweat excretion [5].
