a modified form of sweat gland that produces thicker secretions that engage in eccrine function, is know as an ___ gland

Answer 1

A modified form of sweat gland that produces thicker secretions and engages in eccrine function is known as an **apocrine gland**. While apocrine glands are often associated with the production of thicker, milky secretions and typically become active during puberty, eccrine glands are the primary sweat glands responsible for thermoregulation, producing a more watery secretion. However, both types of glands can be involved in various secretory functions throughout the body.
