Sudoriferocytus (sudoriferocytus, lnh; lat. sudorifer diaphoretic + hist. cytus cell) is one of the types of sweat gland cells. Sudoriferocytes form the secretory section of the sweat gland and produce the primary sweat secretion.
Sudoriferocytes have a cubic or cylindrical shape. Their cytoplasm contains a large number of mitochondria, the Golgi complex and secretory granules. The nuclei of sudoriferocytes are round and located basally.
During secretion, the contents of sudoriferocyte granules are released into the lumen of the convoluted sweat tubule. Then the primary sweat secretion enters the excretory duct of the sweat gland, where it is further modified. Thus, sudoriferocytes play a key role in sweat production.
Sudoriferocytes (sudoriferocyts, from Latin sudoris - sweat and cyts - cells) are blood cells that are responsible for the secretion of sweat. They are found in the sweat glands of the skin and participate in the process of thermoregulation of the body.
Sudoriferocytes are formed from bone marrow stem cells and migrate to the skin, where they differentiate into functional cells. In the sweat glands, they form cylindrical cells that secrete sweat through special ducts.
When the ambient temperature rises, the number of sudoriferocytes in the sweat glands increases. This leads to increased sweat production, which cools the skin and the body as a whole. When the ambient temperature decreases, the number of sudoriferocytes decreases, which leads to a decrease in sweat production.
In addition, sudoriferocytes are involved in other processes related to the body's thermoregulation, such as the regulation of blood pressure and blood glucose levels.
Thus, sudoriferocytes play an important role in maintaining normal body temperature and are key cells in the process of thermoregulation.
