Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Apoeccrine glands are more similar to eccrine glands in that the distal duct connects to and empties sweat directly onto skin surface [23].

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sweat moves from the secretory coil into the straight reabsorptive duct that traverses the dermis of the skin. Here, ions, namely Na+ and Cl−, are reabsorbed so that a hypotonic fluid is released onto the skin surface, conserving electrolytes for the body.
