3. As we know sweat comes from the sweat
glands, but what are they?
Sweat glands are tubular glands present almost
everywhere in our body. We have two types of
sweat glands- Eccrine and Apocrine.

6. SWEAT=HEALTH
Sweating is one of the ways we regulate our body temperature–
humans rely on the evaporation of sweat to protect the body
against the hot environment.
Sweat helps to keep our skin
moist.

7. SWEAT=HEALTH
Sweat contains a natural antibiotic, dermicidin, that helps
to destroy bacteria on the skin.
Sweating of the body and hands when we are
anxious may occur for a reason – to help us
escape from enemies if they try to grab us!
