the composition of the sweat glands

The composition of human sweat is highly variable, both between individuals and within an individual over time. However, sodium and chloride are the major electrolytes lost in sweat, with other ions being present in smaller amounts relative to the whole body status. The sweat electrolyte composition of an individual seems to be related primarily to sweat rate but can be influenced by training status, extent of heat acclimation, and diet. However, the range of values for sweat electrolyte composition reported in the literature probably reflects not only the interindividual differences but also differences in the methodology used for collection of the sweat.

types of sweat glands

There are two different types of sweat glands, they’re apocrine, and eccrine glands.
sweat glands are tubes in which sweat is produced and then moves towards the surface of the skin. the sweat glands are located in the dermis. second layer of skin. when you sweat it controls the temperature of your body, which its supposed to cool your body off.
