characteristic odor, and contains water, sodium chloride, and traces of albumin, urea,
and other compounds. Its composition varies with many factors, e.g., fluid intake,
external temperature and humidity, and some hormonal activity. Sweat produced by the
larger, deeper, apocrine sweat glands of the axillae contains, in addition, organic
material which on bacterial decomposition produces an offensive odor.;
