That is a good question! Sweat glands get the nerve supply from the sympathetic trunk. So anatomically they get sympathetic nerve supply. But the neurotransmitter at the target cells is acetylcholine. So functionally or physiologically, the sweat glands get the parasympathetic nerve supply.

What has a secretion that contains cell fragments?
A cell that releases exosomes, which are small vesicles containing cell fragments and proteins, is an example of a secretion that contains cell fragments. Exosomes play roles in cell communication and the transfer of biomolecules between cells.
Watery perspiration is an example of what kind of secreation?

When a gland is stimulated to increase its secretion by the substance it produces what system?
Positive feedback

What system of the body is the secretion of sweat controlled by?
The secretion of sweat is controlled by the nervous system. Specialized nerve fibers called sympathetic nerves stimulate the sweat glands to produce sweat in response to factors such as temperature, physical activity, and emotions.
Why sweat glands secrete sweat more in adolescence?
