A diagrammatic sectional view of the skin (magnified). Sweat gland labeled as "sudoriferous gland" at center right. Apocrine sweat glands develop during the early to mid puberty ages approximately around the age of 13-15 and release more than normal amounts of sweat for approximately a month and subsequently regulate and release normal amounts of sweat after a certain period of time. They are located wherever there is body hair. [1] Image File history File links Gray940. ...

A gland is an organ in an animals body that synthesizes a substance for release such as hormones, often into the bloodstream (endocrine gland) or into cavities inside the body or its outer surface (exocrine gland). ...
Puberty refers to the process of physical changes by which a childs body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction. ...
These glands produce sweat that contains fatty materials. Mainly present in the armpits and around the genital area, their activity is the main cause of sweat odor, due to the bacteria that break down the organic compounds in the sweat. The armpit (or axilla) is the area on the human body directly under the area where the arm connects to the shoulder. ...

Emotional stress increases the production of sweat from the apocrine glands, or more precisely: the sweat already present in the tubule is squeezed out. Apocrine sweat glands essentially serve as scent glands. In medical terms, stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychological stimuli. ...

Note that the name apocrine sweat gland is archaic; these glands are no longer believed to secrete their products by an apocrine mechanism in which the apical portion of the cell is sloughed off with secretory products inside. Rather, the apocrine sweat glands secrete in an merocrine fashion: membrane-bound vesicles bind to the plasma membrane of secretory cells and release products by exocytosis with no net loss of the plasma membrane. These glands are still called apocrine sweat glands to distinguish them from the eccrine sweat glands. In language, an archaism is the deliberate use of an older form that has fallen out of current use. ...
