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.
Sweat glands are duct glands found in the skin and responsible for the secretion of sweat, which are watery in nature. The duct of the gland is opened at the skin surface by minute pore. There are two types of sweat glands; eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands. Eccrine sweat glands secrete thin sweat and are not associated with hairs. Eccrine secretions are crucial for thermo-regulation of animals.
