Eccrine sweat gland. Eccrine glands (/ËÉkrÉn/, /ËÉËkraÉªn/, or /ËÉËkrin/; from ekkrinein secrete; sometimes called merocrine glands) are the major sweat glands of the human body, found in virtually all skin, with the highest density in palms and soles, then on the head, but much less on the trunk and the extremities.
Apocrine sweat glands are found in the armpit, areola (around the nipples), perineum (between the anus and genitals), in the ear, and in the eyelids. The secretory portion is larger than that of eccrine glands (making them larger overall).
