The Sweat Glands

  • J. Hess Thaysen
Chapter
Part of the Membrane Transport in Biology book series (MEMBRANE, volume 3)

Abstract

Among the mammalian species man is singularly well equipped with sweat glands. Accordingly, most work on these glands has been performed on humans. In the present article the main emphasis is placed on the excretion of salt and water by the human eccrine sweat gland and on the mechanism of secretion. Observations on the human apocrine gland, on the sweat glands of other species, and on sweat gland activity in diseased states are only included insofar as the findings extend or supplement our knowledge about the secretory mechanism.
