Sweat Production Flashcards
Stimulation of eccrine glands cause the cells lining the gland to secrete fluid similar to _
Plasma
Similar to plasma but without (2)
Fatty acids
Proteins
Fluid is mostly water with high concentrations of _ and low concentration of potassium (2)
Sodium
Chloride
(Salts)
Fluid originates in the _
Spaces between cells
(Interstitial)
Interstitial spaces are provided with fluid by _ in dermis
Blood vessels
(Capillaries)
What happens to fluid when it reaches straight portion of sweat duct depends on _
Rate of sweat production
At rest and cool environments, glands don’t _
Produce much sweat
Cells of straight duct have time to _ when at rest
Reabsorb most water and salts
With low sweat flow, composition of sweat different than _
Primary source
Different than primary source because it contains less sodium and chloride, and more _
Potassium
High flow, _ don’t have time to reabsorb all water, sodium, and chloride from primary secretion
Cells in straight portion
Due to lack of reabsorption, sweat similar to _
Primary secretion
Apocrine different than apocrine sweat because it contains (2)
Fatty acids
Proteins
Apocrine sweat thicker and _ in color
Milky-yellow
When bacteria metabolize _ in apocrine sweat, odor is produced (2)
Fatty acids
Proteins
