Apocrine sweat gland

Apocrine sweat glands are characterized by their large size and wide lumens.  The ducts of these glands open into hair follicles near those of the sebaceous glands.  Like eccrine sweat glands, apocrine sweat glands are classified as simple coiled tubular glands, but contrary to their name, they secrete by the merocrine mode. Apocrine sweat glands are located in the anal (shown here), areolar and axillary regions.  100x
