Eccrine glands are the most abundant sweat glands and they are also over your body and function throughout your lifetime.
The type of gland that opens into hair follicles and secretes sweat after puberty is called the apocrine gland. These glands are found predominantly in the armpits and pubic region and produce a thicker, more odorous sweat compared to the eccrine sweat glands found throughout the body. Apocrine glands are influenced by hormonal changes that occur during puberty, leading to increased sweating and body odor.
Part of the heat liberating apparatus of the body is the eccrine sweat gland. Eccrine sweat glands are found in the skin, mostly on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
