Sweat glands are located in the dermis, the middle layer of skin. This layer also contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and other structures embedded within its connective tissue.
The dermis is responsible for providing strength and flexibility to the skin, and it plays a vital role in thermoregulation by regulating sweat production.
- Sweat glands are responsible for producing sweat, which helps to cool the body down.
- Hair follicles are the structures that produce hair.
- Blood vessels transport blood throughout the body, delivering nutrients and removing waste.
- Nerves carry sensory information from the skin to the brain.
