Causes of Iron-Deiciency Anemia Iron-deiciency anemia may develop because the bodyâs demand for iron is greater than its supply, because of low iron intake or poor iron absorption, or as a result of blood loss.
Apocrine sweat gland. An apocrine sweat gland (/ËÃ¦pÉkrÉn/, /ËÃ¦pÉËkraÉªn/, or /ËÃ¦pÉËkrin/, from Greek apoâ away and krinein to separate) is composed of a coiled secretory portion located at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, from which a straight portion inserts and secretes into the infundibular portion of the hair follicle.
Oil glands are also called sebaceous glands, and they secrete lubricating sebum via the holocrine secretion method. Sweat glands are also called sudoriferous glands. There are apocrine sweat glands which secrete a viscous, protein-rich sweat via the apocrine method in the armpits, nipple, anus and genital region. There are also eccrine sweat glands which secrete a thin, watery sweat via the merocrine method all over the body.
