Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apocrine glands are specialized sweat glands that secrete an odorless fluid containing proteins and lipids. Bacteria on the skin break down these molecules, creating a distinctive scent that can serve as a form of communication between individuals of the same species. Apocrine glands are found in the armpits, groin, and nipples of both men and women, as well as in other mammals.
