Sweat gland in skin, artwork
Sweat gland in skin. Artwork of a section of human skin (top) with the upper skin layers shown, along with the duct leading from a sweat pore to its sweat gland (bottom). A drop of sweat is shown on the skin. This is an eccrine sweat gland, one of two types of sweat gland found in the skin. The secretory cells are in the coiled part of the gland at bottom. Sweat released onto the surface of the skin evaporates and cools the body by carrying away heat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate details of a sweat gland in the human skin. Against a clean white background, this print showcases a section of human skin with its upper layers visible, along with the duct leading from a sweat pore to its corresponding sweat gland. A single droplet of sweat glistens on the surface, symbolizing the body's natural cooling mechanism. The featured eccrine sweat gland is one of two types found in our skin and plays a vital role in regulating body temperature. The secretory cells are located within the coiled part at the bottom of the gland, responsible for releasing perspiration onto the skin's surface. As this perspiration evaporates into thin air, it effectively carries away excess heat from our bodies, aiding in thermo regulation. This stunning illustration not only highlights an important biological process but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in anatomy and dermatology. Its cut-out design allows viewers to focus solely on this remarkable organ and appreciate its function within our overall health. With its emphasis on scientific accuracy and attention to detail, this print by Science Photo Library offers both beauty and knowledge to anyone fascinated by biology or seeking a deeper understanding of how our bodies work.
