Question: why do we get sweaty palms?

Pete Etchells answered on 24 Apr 2012:

That’s a good one! When you get nervous, or in a highly emotional state, you tend to sweat a bit more than usual. There are sweat glands all over your body, but there is quite a high concentration of them in places like your armpits, groin, and hands. That’s why they seem to sweat more than other places!
