Sudomotor

Sudomotor (from Latin sudor, 'sweat' and motor) describes anything that stimulates the sweat glands.

Sudomotor innervation is the cholinergic innervation of the sympathetic nervous system prominent in sweat glands which causes perspiration to occur via activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.[1]
