What is the difference between merocrine and apocrine sweat glands?
holocrine,apocrine,merocrine are the terms used to designate the secretory cells (glands),depending on how these cells release their secretions. holocrine-release their secretions by lysis of the cell. apocrine-by budding off cell membrane into vesicles. merocrine-by exocytosis into ducts. ascending order of tissue damage during secretion merocrine Sweat glands are of 2 types Eccrine(a type of merocrine) and Apocrine. The term Apocrine sweat gland is a misnomer, since they dont secrete by apocrine mechanism, as earlier believed. Regarding differences, both types glands vary in terms of number,distribution,nature of secretions,activity,histology,innervation,etc I can now answer only a few things and the rest if left unanswered will be discussed by others. first eccrine, numerous, all over the body,clear,odorless secretions rich in Nacl and H20. next apocrine, limited,eyelids ,ear canal,alae of nose,armpits,breasts,pubic and perianal region,etc,odorless,oily,thick,opaque,secretions that gain odor after bacterial decomposition.

What structure includes the types apocrine eccrine and sebaceous?
The glands of the skin, or the integumentary glands, include apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, and sebaceous glands that secrete sebum, or skin oil.
What are the similarities and differences between apocrine sweat glands and eccrine sweat glands?
Eccrine and apocrine sweat glands are both referred to as sudoriferous glands. The eccrine glands are found all over the body and function throughout your life. Apocrine glands develop during puberty and are most active throughout adulthood and are located in the armpits, areolar, genital, and anal areas. They are also the ones responsible for what we refer to as body odor. It is not the sweat that actually has to odor, but the bacteria that it attracts excretes its wastes as it digests the sweat. It is the bacteria's waste products that actually have the odor. So, you could say, you do not have body odor. Instead, you have bacteria odor.

What type of glands are oil and sweat glands?
Sweat glands (sudoriferous glads) are distributed over the entire skin surface except the nipples and parts of the external genitalia. There is 2 types of sweat glands: eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine (merocrine) sweat glands are more numerous and particularly abundant on the palms, soles of the feet, and forehead. Each is a simple, coiled, tubular gland. Apocrine sweat glands are mostly found to the axillary and anogenital areas. They are merocrine glands, which release product by exocytosis like eccrine sweat glands. Oil (sebaceous) glands are found all over the body except in the thick skin of the palms and soles. They're simple branched alveolar glands.
