Detailed explanation-1: -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]. By contrast, apocrine and apoeccrine glands play a lesser role in overall sweat production as they are limited to specific regions of the body [7–10].
Detailed explanation-2: -Eccrine sweat glands are simple, coiled, tubular glands present throughout the body, most numerously on the soles of the feet. Thin skin covers most of the body and contains sweat glands, in addition to hair follicles, hair arrector muscles, and sebaceous glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apocrine glands are much less numerous than eccrine glands. They differ from eccrine glands in their distribution (they are found mainly in the axillae, anogenital region, areola, and eyelid) and their mode of secretion.
