Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 main forms of sweat glands are eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands.

Eccrine sweat glands are smaller sweat glands. they're volute cannular glands that discharge their secretions onto the surface of the skin sweat gland.
any of the rather tiny secreter that manufactures a fluid secretion while not removing protoplasm from the secreting cells which are restricted to the human skin is called eccrine sweat gland.
