Sweat glands are also known as?

Sweat glands are also known as sudoriferous glands. These glands are responsible for producing sweat, which helps regulate body temperature and plays a role in maintaining hydration.


What do sudoriferous glands and exocrine glands produce?

Sudoriferous glands produce sweat, which helps regulate body temperature and eliminate waste products. Exocrine glands produce various substances, such as enzymes, hormones, mucus, and oil, that are released through ducts onto the skin or into the body's cavities.


What is true about the mode of secretion of exocrine glands?

Modes of Secretionof exocrine glandsSecretory cells of exocrine glands release their products into ducts in three different ways. The mode of secretion can be classified as merocrine, apocrine, or holocrine.Cells that secrete products via the merocrine method form membrane-bound secretory vesicles internal to the cell. These are moved to the apical surface where the vesicles coalesce with the membrane on the apical surface to release the product. Most glands release their products in this way.In those glands that release product via the apocrinemethod, the apical portions of cells are pinched off and lost during the secretory process. This results in a secretory product that contains a variety of molecular components including those of the membrane. Mammary glands release their products in this manner.The third type of secretory release, holocrine, involves death of the cell. The secretory cell is released and as it breaks apart, the contents of the cell become the secretory product. This mode of secretion results in the most complex secretory product. Some sweat glands located in the axillae, pubic areas, and around the areoli of the breasts release their products in this manner. Sebaceous glands also are of this type.


What type of exocrine gland that forms its secretory product and simply releases it from the cell by exocytosis called?

The type of exocrine gland you are referring to is a merocrine gland. Merocrine glands release their secretory products by exocytosis without losing any part of the cell. Examples include salivary glands and sweat glands.


What are Sudoriferous glands important for?

Sudoriferous glands, also known as sweat glands, are important for thermoregulation by producing sweat to help cool the body. They also play a role in excreting waste products and maintaining electrolyte balance in the body.
