Eccrine glands are found all over the human body and are responsible for sweating and thermoregulation. They have a coiled secretory portion made up of clear and dark cells that secrete an isotonic fluid rich in water and electrolytes. This fluid travels through a duct system where sodium and chloride are reabsorbed, resulting in a hypotonic sweat that reaches the skin surface through acrosyringium pores. Eccrine glands are innervated by the sympathetic nervous system and sweat production is stimulated by heat, emotions, and gustatory factors to cool the body through evaporation.
