Merocrine Glands:

Merocrine Glands:
-Found over entire body
-Thermoregulation
-Abundant on hands, feet, and forehead

Both

Apocrine and Merocrine Glands:

Both Apocrine and Merocrine Glands:
-Secrete sweat
-Use Myoepithelial cells to secrete
-Utilize ducts to release sweat

Apocrine glands :

Apocrine sweat glands	- not active until puberty - found mostly in the area of pubic, axillary and beard hair - secrete sweat - utilize myoepithelial cells to secrete - utilize ducts to release sweat
Merocrine Glands:	Merocrine Glands: -Found over entire body -Thermoregulation -Abundant on hands, feet, and forehead
Both Apocrine and Merocrine Glands:	Both Apocrine and Merocrine Glands: -Secrete sweat -Use Myoepithelial cells to secrete -Utilize ducts to release sweat
