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.
Mammals have a number of skin glands that are found in no other vertebrate. Mammals have two types of coiled, tubular sweat glands, apocrine (or sudoriferous) and eccrine.Apocrine sweat glands are usually associated with a hair follicle, and secrete the odorous component of sweat.Eccrine sweat glands secrete sweat onto the surface of the skin to remove heat through evaporative cooling.ammals have two types of coiled, tubular sweat glands, apocrine (or sudoriferous) and eccrine.
