Understanding Sweating: The Body’s Natural Cooling Mechanism Sweating, medically referred to as perspiration, is a fundamental bodily process that involves the release of fluid from sweat glands located on our skin's surface. This natural function plays a crucial role in regulating our body temperature, particularly during physical exertion or exposure to warm environments. Besides its role in thermoregulation, sweating can also occur as a response to emotional states such as stress, nervousness, or excitement.

Armpits contain specialized sweat glands called apocrine glands, which produce a thicker, protein-rich sweat compared to eccrine glands found elsewhere on the body.
