Eccrine sweat gland

Sweat glands, classified as simple, coiled tubular glands, exist as two types in the human, eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine sweat glands, shown here, are present in thick and thin skin throughout the body, producing a watery secretion. They secrete by the merocrine mode and are located deep in the dermis and in the hypodermis. 100x, 100x
