Which area is not most abundant with eccrine glands?

  1. Forehead

  2. Palms

  3. Soles of the feet

  4. Underarm area

The correct answer is: Underarm area

The area with the least abundance of eccrine glands would be the underarm area. This is because eccrine glands are primarily responsible for regulating body temperature through sweating, and the underarms do not play as significant of a role in temperature regulation compared to the forehead, palms, and soles of the feet. Additionally, the underarm area is also home to apocrine glands, which secrete a different type of sweat that is associated with body odor. Therefore, the underarm area is not the most abundant with eccrine glands.
