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.
They are inactive until stimulated by hormonal changes in puberty. Mechanism. The apocrine gland secretes an oily fluid with proteins, lipids, and steroids that is odorless before microbial activity. It appears on the skin surface mixed with sebum, as sebaceous glands open into the same hair follicle. Unlike eccrine sweat glands, which secrete continuously, the apocrine glands secrete in periodic spurts.
