Sweat glands (also known as sudoriferous or sudoriparous glands, from Latin sudor, meaning sweat), are small tubular structures of the skin that produce sweat. Eccrine sweat glands are distributed almost all over the human body, in varying densities. 2  Its water-based secretion represents a primary form of cooling in humans. 3  Apocrine sweat glands are mostly limited to the axilla (armpits) and perianal areas in humans.
