Eccrine sweating glands are divided into functional units: I) a bulbous secretory coil that generates precursor fluid, and 2) a reabsorptive duct that transports the fluid to the skin surface. The secretory coils reside in the deep dermis or hypodermis and consist of clear cells, dark cells, and myoepithelial cells. Clear cells are the primary serous secreting cells and the likely source of secretory disorders of the gland. Dark cells are responsible for exocytosis of many of the non-ionic constituents found in sweat and are associated with certain anhidrotic sweat glands, and in addition have secretory components of their own. Myoepithelial cells surround the secretory coil and contract to provide the structural rigidity necessary to generate pressure within the gland. The reabsorptive duct contains a two-cell thick structure that modifies the fluid being transported to the skin surface.
