Treatment Options Sweat Glands The human body has 2-5 million sweat glands Two main types: Eccrine Sweat Glands Approximately 3 million eccrine sweat glands Secrete a clear, odorless fluid Aid in regulating body temperature Areas of concentration: Facial, plantar, and axillae Apocrine Sweat Glands Inactive until puberty Produce thick fluid Secretions come in contact with bacteria on the skin and produce characteristic “body odor” Found in axillary and genital areas Sweating The hypothalamus serves as the thermoregulatory center It controls both blood flow and sweat output to the skin’s surface Sweating The hypothalamus can be triggered by: Sweating Sweating The neurostransmitters travel down the spine via ganglion or sympathetic nerves These ganglion travel to nerves, which reach the skin’s surface Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters The neurotransmitters can “exit” at various places along the spinal cord. The “exit” determines the location of skin innervation. Spinal Cord Innervations Neurotransmitters Sweating Once innervated, the apocrine and eccrine glands will produce …. SWEAT!
