What is "eccrine gland"?

Accrine gland is a type of sweat gland that is widely distributed throughout the human body. These glands are responsible for producing and secreting sweat, which helps regulate body temperature. Eccrine glands play a crucial role in thermoregulation by releasing sweat onto the skin's surface, where it evaporates and cools the body. They are most abundant on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and forehead. Unlike apocrine glands, which are concentrated in specific areas, eccrine glands are found almost everywhere, aiding in the body's cooling mechanism and maintaining homeostasis.
