Explanation: Sweat glands, or sudoriferous glands, are small tubular structures of the skin that produce sweat. The cause of sweating and body odor stems from our body's temperature regulation system, specifically our sweat glands. Sweating helps maintain our body temperature, hydrates our skin and balances our body fluids and electrolytes, chemicals in our body such as sodium and calcium. |
