Eccrine Glands

Question

Eccrine glands
A) are sweat glands.
B) secrete sebum.
C) are active only after puberty.
D) arise within the hypodermis.

Accepted Answer

Eccrine glands are sweat glands that are present all over the body, with high concentrations on the palms and soles. They secrete a clear, odorless, and watery sweat that helps regulate body temperature through evaporation. The other options are incorrect as eccrine glands do not secrete sebum, are active from infancy, and arise within the dermis.
