Each square centimetre of skin contains around 100 sweat glands. The sweat that cools you down is released from eccrine sweat glands, which are found all over the body but especially in the palms, feet and armpits. They secrete the salty wet sweat that causes sweat patches. A second type of sweat gland, the apocrine gland, is responsible for body odour. These secrete a type of mucous that is broken down by bacteria on the skin to produce the characteristic smell. No one's sure what the purpose of these glands are - if they're supposed to be the body's natural perfume then maybe it's our sense of smell that is to blame. Fortunately for us, if not for deodorant manufacturers, apocrine glands are found mainly in the armpits and genital regions.
