I would also say sweat glands. I remember that there is a disease in which pt. has no hair /teeth and having problems with heat regulation. Can anyone plz tell me the name of it coz i dont rememeber it now? It runs in families

Well, its ectodermal dysplasia, I think...I dont know if there is another name for it. Actually I think the full name is 'anhydrous ectodermal dysplasia'. they usually have some teeth though, later in life.
