Detailed explanation-1: -Eccrine sweat glands help to maintain homoeostasis, primarily by stabilizing body temperature. Derived from embryonic ectoderm, millions of eccrine glands are distributed across human skin and secrete litres of sweat per day.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eccrine sweat glands are distributed almost all over the human body, in varying densities, with the highest density in palms and soles, then on the head, but much less on the trunk and the extremities. Its water-based secretion represents a primary form of cooling in humans.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eccrine gland sweating is the primary means of thermoregulation in man. The 2−4 million eccrine sweat glands distributed over the body surface regulate the internal body temperature by evaporative heat loss.
