REFLECTING ON 3-DIMENSIONS – 5
The sweat glands of the skin are shaped like small hollow tubes whose walls are made up of cells.
The tubes are coiled in the deepest parts of each gland, called their secretory portions. For this reason, histological sections of the skin show several sections of each secretory portion although they belong to only one tubule.
Watch at the right part of the figure the several sections of one coiled tube.
