Wikipedia definition
2. Apocrine sweat glandApocrine sweat glands are sweat glands composed of a coiled secretory portion located at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, from which a straight portion inserts and secretes into the infundibular portion of the hair follicle. In humans, apocrine sweat glands are found only in certain locations of the body: the axillae (armpits), the areola of the nipples, and the genitoanal region. Specialized types of apocrine sweat glands present on the eyelids are called Moll's glands.
