    When we are under great pressure, the body releases sweat to relieve tension. Due to the location of the sweat glands, their response to sensory and psychological stimuli and thermal stimuli are also different. Under the influence of mental factors such as tension, fear, and excitement, nerve impulses are transmitted from the cerebral cortex to the palm sweat glands, which causes the secretory and excretory activities of the sweat glands to increase rapidly in a short time, that is, to produce palm sweating.
