This figure is a section of skin conveniently illustrating a sweat gland
(b) connected to the epidermal surface via a sweat duct (a). Sweat glands
typically appear as random sections through a coiled tube. The epithelium
lining a sweat gland differs from that lining a duct in that the glandular
epithelium is in a simple cuboidal arrangement, while sweat ducts are defined
as stratified cuboidal epithelium. |
