I WONDER - Why Do We Sweat? Me Pregunto - Qué Son Las Glándulas Sudoríparas?

The video explains how sweat glands help regulate body temperature. Sweat glands are distributed throughout the body, not just in the armpits. When the body experiences heat from the sun or physical activity, it signals the skin to produce sweat. This sweat forms a moisture layer on the skin, which cools the body as it evaporates. This cooling effect is why we often feel cold after stopping exercise.
