An experiment was conducted by E.M.Glaser and T.S.Lee from the Department of Physiology, University of Malaya, Singapore to monitor the activity of Human Sweat Glands during Exposure to Cold.
The conclusions are:
1. Sweating of the hands, feet, and of the axillae usually takes place when people are shivering. It sometimes also takes place in a cool environment before shivering has begun.
2. There is no correlation between the degree of cooling and the onset of sweating.
3. The secretory nerve fibres involved are cholinergic. There is no evidence of any specific reflex mechanism responsible for sweating in a cold environment.
4. It is suggested that sweating in a cold environment and sweating from emotional or mental causes are all a result of non-specific central nervous excitation.
