    “The perspiratory glands of the skin are scattered everywhere throughout the integument, being most abundant on the anterior portions of the body.”

It is also highly vascular, being supplied by those innumerable tiny blood-vessels called capillaries, though they are far finer than any hair, of which I spoke just now.
