really helpful video. i have test on histology tomorrow and i watched most of your videos and they are really great. i wanted to ask something tho. my book says that the apocrine gland is attached at the follicle of hair, while eccrine direct to the skin. is that correct???
What you must be talking about are the so-called apocrine sweat glands ( which don't really secrete by the apocrine method) and the eccrine sweat glands. The apocrine sweat glands are associated with the hair follicles and are found in the arm pits, example. The eccrine sweat glands are distributed throughout the body and have ducts that open independently on the surface of the skin.
