Two types of glands
Sudiriferous
sebaceous
What are the two types of sudoriferous glands
-apocrine
-eccrine
What is the product and purpose of the eccrine gland?
Product: hypotonic filtrate of blood plasma
Purpose: temp control, antibacterial properties
What is the product and purpose of the apocrine gland?
Product: Filtrate of blood plasma w added proteins and fatty substances
Purpose: Sexual scent glands
T/F Apocrine glands are more distributed than eccrine glands
False, Eccrine glands are everywhere, much more widely distributed
What is the product and purpose of the sebaceous glands?
-Product: sebum
-Purpose: lubricate skin and hair, help prevent water loss, antibacterial properties
