Accepted Answer

The two groups of sweat glands in the skin are eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine sweat glands are found all over the body and secrete a watery sweat to help regulate body temperature. Apocrine sweat glands are located in specific areas, such as the armpits and genital region, and secrete a thicker, milky sweat that can be a source of body odor when it combines with bacteria on the skin.
