Detailed explanation-1: -Apocrine sweat glands are not found in rodents. In humans, they are predominantly restricted to the human axillae and anogenital region. Apocrine sweat glands are tubular, coiled secretory glands lined by simple cuboidal epithelium that surround a larger lumen than eccrine sweat glands.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sebaceous glands are holocrine glands, and sweat glands (both eccrine and apocrine ones) are merocrine glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eccrine sweat glands occur over most of the body and open directly onto the skin’s surface. Apocrine glands open into the hair follicle, leading to the surface of the skin. Apocrine glands develop in areas with many hair follicles, such as on the scalp, armpits and groin.
