Physiology

Glands secreting fluid to cool the body

In physiology, sweating is the secretion of watery fluid by eccrine glands onto the skin, where its evaporation removes heat and so helps regulate body temperature. Sato's 1977 review of the physiology, pharmacology, and biochemistry of the eccrine sweat gland set out how the gland produces and modifies sweat under nervous and hormonal control. The referent is a thermoregulatory secretory process of the body, unrelated to the plumbing technique that borrows the same word.[1]
