There are two unique types of sweat glands, these are the -
- apocrine sweat glands - Apocrine glands are composed of a coiled secretory portion located at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, from which a straight portion inserts and secretes directly into the infundibular portion of the hair follicle; (Wikipedia)
- and eccrine sweat glands - Eccrine glands (or merocrine glands) is composed of an intreaepidermal spiral duct, the "acrosyringium," a straight dermal portion, and a coiled acinar portion in the dermis or hypoderman, and are found at virtually all sites on the human body. (Wikipedia)
Meanwhile, your eccrine sweat glands, are distributed over your entire skin surface. These glands are incredibly abundant on the palms of your hands, on the soles of your feet, and on your forehead. That is why you have sweaty palms, sweaty feet and a sweaty head. These eccrine sweat glands work by the production of sweat made mainly from water and salts. The other main function of these glands is for your body's temperature regulating.
Why You Sweat After Drinking Some Water
Why you sweat after drinking water, comes down to a couple of things that you probably should know.
In terms of sweating after drinking water, it is incredibly important to make sure you are adequately hydrated, especially from drinking water, prior to doing your exercise. Although, you will still need to be sure that you do not overexercise.
The quantity of water that you will need to consume prior to, during, and especially after you exercise will need to be more than you would consume when not exercising. Simply put, the more you sweat, the more you will need to drink your water, so that you do not lose too much through your excessive perspiration or excessive sweating.
Because you should be putting more fluids into your system, sweating after drinking water is not normally a bad situation to be in, mainly due to you simply sweating out what water that you have consumed.
One thing to remember with when you are sweating after your drinking of water is that you must endeavor to keep the balance of water-in to water-out right, so should you even be tired from exercising, you will still be sweating and this is why you have to ensure you are still drinking your water. By doing this and keeping a watch over your drinking, you will ensure that whatever you loose in perspiration you will make up from drinking the right quantity of water.
Of course, if you are not drinking enough, certain signs of dehydration could show up that you will need to look out for. The symptoms of dehydration let you know if you are drinking enough water, or if you are not, and these symptoms include -
- nausea, including after your exercise;
- peeing dark yellow urine or;
- no urine at all;
- having a dry and sticky mouth;
- and dry, hurting (stinging) eyes.
