PATHOLOGY

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 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-3: -Prostrate gland is a male reproductive organ which secretes prostrate fluid which is a component of semen. The seminal vesicles secretes a significant proportion of the fluid that ultimately becomes semen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sweat is produced by glands in the deeper layer of the skin, the dermis. Sweat glands occur all over the body, but are most numerous on the forehead, the armpits, the palms and the soles of the feet. Sweat is mainly water, but it also contains some salts. Its main function is to control body temperature.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sweat glands are appendages of the integument. There are eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. They differ in embryology, distribution, and function.
