apocrine gland
An apocrine gland is a type of exocrine gland that releases its secretions, such as sweat or pheromones, by budding off a part of its cytoplasm, which forms part of the secretory product. This gland is found primarily in the armpits and the groin region, as well as in the breasts, eyelids, and ears. The secretions of the apocrine glands are usually thicker than those of other sweat glands and can contribute to body odor when they interact with bacteria on the skin surface.
