*’sebaceous glands’ secrete ‘oily’ + ‘waxy’ matter called “sebum” to the ‘skin’ to [‘lubricate’/’waterproof’] skin/hair*
.
(small tubular structures of the ‘skin’ that produce (what we ‘mere laymen’ call) ‘sweat’)
(‘eccrine sweat glands’ are found only in ‘primates’ and reach their greatest development in ‘humans’)
(they are distributed all over the body (except for the lips, tip of penis and clitoris) although their density varies from region to region)
(humans utilize ‘eccrine sweat glands’ as primary form of ‘cooling’)
(the human ‘thermal eccrine system’ has evolved in concert with ‘bipedalism’ and development of ‘smooth hairless skin’)
(‘apocrine sweat glands’ are larger, have different mechanism of secretion, and are limited to axilla (“armpits”) and perianal areas in humans)
(although ‘apocrine glands’ contribute little to cooling in humans, they are the only effective ‘sweat glands’ in hoofed animals such as the ‘donkey’, ‘cow’, ‘horse’, and ‘camel’)
(most other mammals, such as ‘cats’, ‘dogs’, and ‘pigs’, rely on ‘panting’ or other means for ‘thermal regulation’ and have ‘sweat glands’ only in ‘foot pads’ and ‘snout’)
.
(the ‘sweat’ produced on ‘pads’ of ‘paws’ and on ‘palms’ and ‘soles’ mostly serves to increase ‘friction’ + enhance ‘grip’)
