Did you know 1 square inch of human skin contains 625 sweat glands

While it's true our skin is covered in many sweat glands, current estimates suggest one square inch of human skin contains closer to 650 sweat glands.

Here's a breakdown of what our skin holds:

  • Sweat Glands: We do have a high concentration of sweat glands, ranging from 650 to 1000 per square inch depending on location.
  • Variations: The number of sweat glands can vary depending on factors like age, body part, and even sex.
  • Function: Sweat glands play a crucial role in regulating body temperature through perspiration.

So, while the exact number might differ slightly, it's safe to say our skin is a busy place with a multitude of sweat glands keeping us cool!
