what is sweating process

Asked by kiko9299

Answer (1)

Process of Sweating1. Stimulation of Sweat GlandsWhen body temperature rises (due to heat, exercise, or stress), the hypothalamus detects the increase and signals the sweat glands.The sympathetic nervous system activates eccrine and apocrine sweat glands.2. Sweat ProductionEccrine glands (found all over the body, especially on palms, soles, and forehead) release a watery, salty fluid directly onto the skin. Apocrine glands (found in armpits and groin) release a thicker fluid, which can develop an odor when broken down by bacteria.3. Evaporation and Cooling As sweat evaporates from the skin, it absorbs heat energy, cooling the body down.The cooling effect helps maintain a stable internal temperature (homeostasis).[tex][/tex]
