Autonomic nervous system control of sweat gland activity
Sudomotor function refers to the autonomic nervous system control of sweat gland activity in response to various environmental and individual factors. Sweat production is a vital thermoregulatory mechanism used by the body to prevent heat-related illness as the evaporation of sweat is the body’s most effective method of heat reduction and the only cooling method available when the air temperature rises above skin temperature.[1] In addition, sweat plays key roles in grip, microbial defense, and wound healing.[2]
