Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Apocrine sweat glands are located primarily in the axilla, breasts, face, scalp, and the perineum [21, 22]. As shown in Figure 1, these glands differ from eccrine glands in that they are larger and open into hair follicles instead of onto the skin surface [12].
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Eccrine sweat glands associate with the human hair follicle within a defined compartment of dermal white adipose tissue.
