Eccrine sweat gland,computer artwork. This is one of two types of sweat gland found in the skin. Eccrine glands are found all over the body and release sweat,which consists of water and salt,directly on to the skin. The secretory cells are in the coiled part of the gland at bottom. The secretions travel up through the duct to a pore (coiled,top) at the skin's surface. Eccrine glands function to regulate body temperature by cooling the skin through evaporation | |
