Question
which glands are widely distributed throughout the body?
merocrine glands
apocrine glands
pancreas
sebaceous glands
Merocrine glands, also known as eccrine glands, are widely distributed throughout the body. They are responsible for producing sweat which helps in thermoregulation. Apocrine glands are mainly found in the axillae (armpits) and groin. The pancreas is a single - large gland located in the abdominal cavity. Sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles and are not as widely distributed as merocrine glands over the entire body surface.
