Slide 28
Skin, unspecified source (Slide Box 4 may not match this description).
This specimen represents skin from the axillary (armpit), genital, or peri-anal area. In each of these sites, in addition to ordinary "eccrine" sweat glands there are also "apocrine" sweat glands. Both types occur on this slide. The tubules of eccrine sweat glands are small; the diameter of their lumens is similar to the thickness of their epithelium. The tubules of the apocrine sweat glands are much larger, with conspicuous open lumens.
