"Perspiration, also known as sweating or diaphoresis, is the production of fluids secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals.Two types of sweat glands can be found in humans: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. The eccrine sweat glands are distributed over much of the body.In humans, sweating is primarily a means of thermoregulation which is achieved by the water-rich secretion of the eccrine glands."@en . . .
