How sweat is produced?
Sweat is produced by the sweat glands under the skin. These are tubular glands under the epidermis of the skin. These glands are controlled by the hypothalamus (brain).

This in turn makes the hypothalamus to signal the sweat glands to release sweat. This lowers the temperature of the skin and hence keeps the body cool.
