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.
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.
