Fingerprints are typically formed from the aqueous-based secretions of the eccrine glands of the fingers and palms with additional material from sebaceous glands primarily from the forehead.

Eccrine glands on their foot pads, like those on palms and soles of humans, did not evolve to cool either but rather increase friction and enhance grip.
43.
In both apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, the sweat is originally produced in the gland's coil, where it is isotonic with the blood plasma there.
44.
The most copious human sweat, the kind produced by widely distributed sweat glands called eccrine glands, is probably not a big stain producer unless the skin or clothing is already soiled.
45.
Fingerprints are easily deposited on suitable surfaces ( such as glass or metal or polished stone ) by the natural secretions of sweat from the eccrine glands that are present in epidermal ridges.
46.
A microfluidic model of the eccrine sweat gland was published, which provides details on what solutes partition into sweat, their mechanisms of partitioning, and their fluidic transport to the skin surface.
47.
In states of prolonged kidney failure and subsequent uremia, the high level of urea in the bloodstream leads to high levels of urea secreted by eccrine sweat glands as a component of sweat.
48.
This gene was identified by its association with ectodermal dysplasia, and specifically with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, a genetic disorder characterized by defective development of hair, teeth, and eccrine sweat glands.
49.
The wheals, hypohidrosis, and pain seems to result from the low expression levels of acetylcholinesterase ( AchE ) and cholinergic receptor, muscarinic 3 ( CHRM3 ) in the eccrine gland epithelial cells.
50.
The eccrine glands produce sweat, which is mostly water, " one to three pints a day for the average person not engaged in strenuous physical activity, " van der Lee says.
