Uberon definition : Apocrine sweat glands are sweat glands composed of a coiled secretory portion located
at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, from which a straight portion
inserts and secretes into the infundibular portion of the hair follicle. The ducts
of apocrine glands open into the canals of hair follicles. The stimulus for the secretion
of apocrine sweat glands is adrenaline, which is a hormone carried in the blood[WP].;
Uberon Taxon note : In humans, apocrine sweat glands are found only in certain locations of the body:
