Sweat glands in man and horse [a light-microscope study]

The sweat glands of horse and man were studied under the same histological conditions by light microscopy. Van Gieson's stain showed two types of secretory cells in both the species. In human sweat glands some cells, which could be resting cells, were seen between secretory and myoepithelial cells. In both species the mode of secretion was eccrine and apocrine in nature
