Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apocrine sweat glands begin to function during puberty and are involved in sexual signaling through the secretion of pheromones. Eccrine sweat glands are active throughout life and are involved in temperature regulation. Sebaceous glands produce oil for the skin and hair, and holocrine glands secrete their products by rupturing and destroying the cells containing the secretion.
