What is another word for eccrine?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛkɹa͡ɪn] (IPA) 
Eccrine is an adjective that describes a type of sweat gland that regulates the body temperature in humans. There are several alternative words that can be used to substitute the term eccrine, such as sudoriferous, odourless, or perspiratory. Another related term for eccrine is apocrine - the second type of sweat gland located in hairy areas of the body that produces sweat with an unpleasant smell. However, these two terms only have a slight difference in function as eccrine produces sweat to cool down while apocrine mainly secretes oily substances for body scent. Therefore, it is important to use appropriate synonyms based on the intended context.
