Abstract
Biopsies were obtained from the volar skin of human volunteers. Frozen sections were stained by Koelle''s histochemical technique for cholinesterase. The same cholinergic innervation was found for the eccrine sweat gland in the volar skin of the human toe as for the glands in the general skin of the body. This coupled with pharmacologic evidence in the literature was taken to indicate that non-thermal sweating of palms and soles was not due to hypothetical adrenergic innervation of volar glands.
