Apocrine sweat gland

This image shows apocrine and eccrine sweat glands in the axilla. Apocrine sweat glands are large with a wide lumen and secrete a thick, protein-rich secretion by the merocrine mode. These secretions acquire a distinctive odor by the action of bacteria on the skin surface. The duct of an apocrine sweat gland empties into the hair follicle. 200x
