More specifically, sudoriferous glands (apocrine sweat glands) located in the dermis, produce the sweat that eventually ends up on my hands. Dermal papillae also assist me in gripping the wall with more ease. Keratinocytes which are found in the dermis are involved in protection. Sometimes while climbing the wall, I develop calluses which are caused by friction and come from keratinocytes. Many times while climbing the wall I start to perspire. The dermis contains apocrine glands; whose primary function is maintaining a constant body
