Abstract:
The innervation of human axillary sweat glands was studied at electron microscopic level. Nerve endings with many small agranular vesicles and few large dense-cored vesicles were found outside the basement membrane of the secretory coils. These nerve endings can be classified as cholinergic. This result confirms the previous knowledge that axillary sweat glands are innervated by sympathetic cholinergic nerves.
