Hair oil should never be used upon the hair, as the oil soon becomes rancid, and besides causes dust and dirt to stick to the hair. The sweat glands (Fig. 23), like the hair bulbs, are deep in the lowest part of the dermis. A sweat gland Jias the form of a tube coiled into a ^//(colored Fig. i). This tube continues as a duct through the two layers of skin, and its opening at the surface is called a. pore (Fig. 24). The perspiration evaporates as fast as it flows out through the pores, if the secretion is slow; but if poured out rapidly, it gathers into drops (Exp. 3). The perspiration is chiefly water, contain- ing in solution several salts, including common salt and a trace of a white, crystalline substance called urea. The material for the perspiration is fur- nished by the blood flowing around the gland in a network of fine tubes. The amount of the perspiration is con- trolled in two ways: by nerves that regulate the activity of the epithelial cells lining the gland, and by nerves that regulate the size of the blood ves- sels supplying the gland (Fig. 25)..
