What is another name for sweat glands in the integumentary system?

Answer 1

Eccrine Glands and Apocrine Glands.

The human epidermis has two different kinds of sweat glands.

The majority of the body is covered in eccrine glands, which cool the skin by releasing 1% of salt and 99% of water.

Apocrine glands are the main cause of body odor; they are located where skin meets skin in areas such as the groin, between the toes, and the armpit. In addition to secreting water and salts, these glands also cleanse the body of bacteria.
