The primary function of the eccrine glands is:To produce sweat

Eccrine glands, also known as sweat glands, are distributed throughout the skin and are particularly abundant on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, forehead, and armpits. Their primary function is to produce sweat, which helps regulate body temperature by dissipating heat through evaporation. Sweat produced by eccrine glands is composed primarily of water, electrolytes (such as sodium and chloride), and small amounts of waste products. This process of sweating helps cool the body and maintain its internal temperature within a narrow, optimal range, even during periods of physical exertion or exposure to high temperatures.
