Histophysiologic studies on sweating

TL;DR: It is concluded that there are marked species variations in the extent to which the discharge of sweat is affected by periodic contractions of the myoepithelium, or by simple displacement of fluid from the filled lumen as more fluid is secreted into it.

TL;DR: The present trend is to correlate the normal and the abnormal variations of the physiology and chemistry of the sweat gland with its histochemistry and histo-logic structure.

TL;DR: The eccrine sweat glands of the cat foot and toe pads have been studied by light and electron microscopy before and after stimulation with mecholyl and the ultrastructure of these glands in the cat is found to be entirely comparable to that in the human.

TL;DR: The present study investigates the chemical histology of eccrine and apocrine sweat glands following the use of methods for the demonstration of acid and alkaline phosphatases, nietachromasia, cytoplasmic basophilia, glycogen, lipids and iron.

TL;DR: In 1928 Guttmann and List1 reported on studies of the pathophysiologic and topographic conditions of sweat secretion, and since, there have been numerous publications and additional presonal experiences which warrant a new discussion of certain aspects of the problem.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the sweating is effected through an axon reflex involving the terminal ramifications of the postganglionic sympathetic fibers supplying the sweat glands.

TL;DR: This investigation aims to trace the course and distribution of the sympathetic sweat fibers from the superior cervical ganglion to the skin of the face and to analyze sweating responses of theFace which are apparently not transmitted by sympathetic fibers.
