Question

Eccrine sweat glands are located
A)on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands.
B)in the genital and axillary regions.
C)on the scalp of the head.
D)throughout the body.

Accepted Answer

Eccrine sweat glands are found throughout the body. They are responsible for regulating body temperature by secreting sweat, which cools the body as it evaporates from the skin surface. Unlike apocrine sweat glands, which are found in specific areas like the axillary and genital regions, eccrine glands are distributed widely across the skin.
