There are two types based on glandular secretion.
1. Merocrine is also called eccrine glands. They are coiled in deep dermis and respond to elevated
temperature / exercise.
They produce no odor and function throughout life and are not associated with hair follicles. Their
secretion is water plus salts and wastes (urea and uric acid).
2. The apocrine glands ducts terminate into hair follicles. They respond to stress / emotions. They produce an odor. They don't begin to function until puberty and continue through life.
They are found in the armpits and groin. They produce sweat plus oil and cellular debris.
