“…As is self-evident, a great m any electrolytes and other substances are eliminated from the body by the sweat glands, together with varying amounts of water. Similarly, it may be regarded as estab lished that reabsorption of water, electrolytes and other m aterials occurs in the sweat apparatus -and this apparently not only from the tubules, hut also from the ducts; such processes of reabsorption were dem onstrated indirectly or directly by Lobitz and co-workers [31,32], Araki and collaborators [33], Schwartz and collaborators of the Rockefeller Institute [34], and by our staff at the New York Skin and Cancer Unit [22,35]. Conclusive findings of this kind were obtained also by Conn and his group, who dem onstrated that the sweat organ changes its excretory and reabsorbing functions under control of the adrenal cortex in the same m anner as the kidneys adjust their function to different forms of stress and/or the ensuing imbalance among the electrolytes [36,37,38,47].…”

“…The duct itself is composed of a short coiled por tion, a long and relatively straight portion extending from the coil through the dermis to the epidermis, and the intraepidermal portion lying within the "epidermal eccrine sweat duct unit" (3,4,5). The microanatomy of the eccrine sweat duct (exclusive of its epidermal portion) consists of an inner luminal cell and an outer basal cell, both of which are metabolically active and rich in glycogen.…”

Although much is known about the human eccrine sweat glands as a re sult of extensive studies carried out during the past half century, surprisingly little can be stated concerning the function of these organs without fear of contradiction. This situation has arisen for three major reasons: (a) It is now known that during active function the cellular structure of the eccrine sweat gland is undergoing significant alterations. (b) The function of the sweat gland is, in great part, dependent on the state of both the external and internal environment. (Careful control of both of these variables is essential to an experimental situation from which interpretable information is to be derived.) (c) Interpret�tion of the function of the sweat gland is considerably influenced by the method of sweat collection, the area from which the sweat is collected and the method employed to produce sweating.This review will not deal with specific diseases of the eccrine sweat gland.Nor will it be concerned with the alterations in structure and function of the sweat apparatus that occur when the skin itself is altered by disease. We will not emphasize environmental physiology and the problems of acclimatiza tion. The reader is referred to a most excellent and comprehensive review by . Weiner & Hellmann (53) on the total eccrine and apocrine sweat gland story.The interested reader, too, should refer to the recent book edited by Yoshi� mura, Ogata & Itoh on climatic physiology (54).In this review it is our hope to integrate, as much as possible, the many aspects now known of eccrine sweat gland structure and function in health and associated with non-cutaneous medical disease. In this way perhaps the interpretations of isolated findings on this subject will be made easier. In addition, we will take opportunities, too. to emphasize the many areas in which further investigative studies may be especially fruitful.On the basis of location, two types of eccrine glands can be differentiated: those on the palms and soles which respond primarily to mental work and emotional stimuli, and those in the remainder of the skin which act mainly in a thermoregulatory role. All eccrine sweat glands are innervated by sym pathetic fibers, but the secretion is induced by cholinergic agents. The nerve
