Eccrine sweat glands (; from Greek ek(s)+krinein 'out(wards)/external+secrete') are the major sweat glands of the human body. Eccrine sweat glands are found in virtually all skin, with the highest density in the palms of the hands, and soles of the feet, and on the head, but much less on the torso and the extremities.
