Apocrine glands are primarily located in specific areas of the body, including the armpits (axillary region), groin, and around the nipples. They are associated with hair follicles and become active during puberty under hormonal influence. Unlike eccrine sweat glands, which are involved in thermoregulation, apocrine glands mainly produce a thicker, milky secretion that can contribute to body odor.
