Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apocrine sweat glands are the type of sweat glands that begin to function at puberty and are involved in sexual signaling. They are found mainly in the axillary and genital regions and secrete a sweat that is odorless but can produce an odor when it is broken down by bacteria on the skin. Eccrine sweat glands are found all over the body and are involved in regulating body temperature. Sebaceous glands produce oil that lubricates and protects the skin, and holocrine glands secrete their product by rupturing and releasing the entire contents of the gland.
