Sweat glands are small tubular structures present in the skin. They produce a water based secretion called sweat.

Principal roles are: 1) Thermoregulation Sweat lowers body temperature and cools the skin's surface. 2) Excretion Sweat offers a way for electrolytes and water to be expelled. 3) Protection Sweat contributes to the preservation of the skin's acid mantle, which serves as a major barrier against harmful microorganisms. Sweat glands are classified into two types: A) Eccrine glands and B) Apocrine glands.
