This medium magnification
image of a section from the skin shows the secretory portion of a sweat gland
and a small piece of its duct. The secretory portion is tubular and highly
coiled and consists of simple cuboidal epithelium. The duct (more darkly stained)
is composed of stratified cuboidal epithelium. The gland is surrounded by
adipose cells of the hypodermis and collagen fibers.
