Sweat Produced
How is Sweat Produced?
Sweat helps maintain us cool in hot weather or when holding ourselves and is hence an important part of thermoregulation, the maintenance of a uniform body temperature. It also assists in excretion, or the removal of waste products from the body, and helps protect the skin from such environmental hazards as bacteria and chemicals.
Sweat consists primarily of water, but always has about 0.2 to 1% solute made up of minerals, lactate, and urea. Sweat glands also referred to as sudoriferous glands are exocrine glands, found under the skin of all mammal species that are used for body temperature regulation. Sweat glands in the skin are controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain, part of the autonomic nervous system.
