Perspiration is secreted by tiny tubular glands found throughout the skin and the tissue beneath it. Sweat is discharged through tiny openings in the surface of the skin, both to remove waste products, such as urea and ammonia, and to cool the body as the sweat evaporates. The characteristic odor of perspiration, or sweat, comes from the waste products being excreted.Sweat or the process of sweating. Insensible perspiration is sweat that evaporates immediately from the skin and is therefore not visible; sensible perspiration is visible on the skin in the form of drops.Commonly called sweat, this is an excretion from the skin, produced by microscopic sweat glands, of which there are around 2-5 million, scattered over the surface. Insensible (that is, unnoticed) perspiration takes place constantly by evaporation from the openings of the sweat glands, well over a litre a day being produced. Sensible perspiration (that is, obvious) to which the term ‘sweat’ is usually confined occurs with physical exertion and raised body temperature. Normal sweating maintains the body within its customary temperature range and ensures that the skin is kept adequately hydrated for example, properly hydrated skin of the palm helps the effectiveness of a person's normal grip.The secretion of the sweat (sudoriferous) glands of the skin; sweating.The process of producing and releasing sweat through sweat glands is called perspiration. Another term for perspiration is sweat.
