Abstract
For over two centuries anatomists have known that there are large sweat glands in the axillae of man. These apocrine glands have been carefully studied by histologists and pathologists, yet only scant attention has been given them by the physiologist (1). The need for further knowledge of the physiology of these organs is apparent to the dermatologist, and recently Lobitz and Campbell (2) have undertaken a physiological study of the apocrine glands of the human ear canal. Concurrently, we are studying the axillary apocrine glands in a similar manner (3,4). The present account details some of the physiological data obtained.
