in Did You Know • last year

While it's true our skin is covered in many sweat glands, current estimates suggest one square inch of human skin contains closer to 650 sweat glands.

Here's a breakdown of what our skin holds:

  • Sweat Glands: We do have a high concentration of sweat glands, ranging from 650 to 1000 per square inch depending on location.
  • Variations: The number of sweat glands can vary depending on factors like age, body part, and even sex.
  • Function: Sweat glands play a crucial role in regulating body temperature through perspiration.

So, while the exact number might differ slightly, it's safe to say our skin is a busy place with a multitude of sweat glands keeping us cool!
