Question
which exocrine gland is the most abundant in the human body and is responsible for the production of sweat? answers: a - e a merocrine b sudoriferous c apocrine d ceruminous e sebaceous
Merocrine glands (also known as eccrine glands) are the most abundant exocrine glands in the human body and are primarily responsible for sweat production. Sudoriferous is a general term for sweat - producing glands (merocrine and apocrine are types of sudoriferous glands). Apocrine glands are less abundant and associated with areas like armpits. Ceruminous glands produce earwax. Sebaceous glands produce sebum (oil), not sweat.
