Sweat glands, also known as sudoriferous glands, produce perspiration that helps cool your body (that's why you sweat when it's hot).. Sweat is an excretory product that helps the body get rid of wastes. Some types of sweat glands also produce pheromones. Pheromones are chemicals that are released by the body to communicate with or attract others. The human body has between 2 million and 4 million sweat glands located on the lower part of the skin.
