Body Odour
There are around 1 million Apocrine and 3 million Eccrine (merocrine) sweat glands within the human body. Eccrine glands are far more widely spread across the skin and release their sweat directly onto the skin. Sweat secreted from these glands is mostly composed of water and mineral salts (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese etc.).
Apocrine sweat glands release their liquid into hair follicles in the armpits (axillae), around the nipples and groin areas. Apocrine sweat contains pheromones – chemicals which communicate information through smell (NOTE: we are not consciously aware of this scent).
