A question that has been bugging me...

And yes, they do sweat. I was just scrolling through the movie in slow motion (there's so much more to see when things go slow enough! ) and during Jake's fight with Quaritch, there are even streaks of sweat on his skin (yes, I was looking that closely ).

Skin blemishes, I couldn't say, but they do have some spots and freckles. Both Jake and Neytiri have them, that I've seen.

I imagine they function much the same as humans, over all.

On the sweating bit, they definitely do! Take a look at Jake after he first enters the Avatar body. When he stops from his run, there's definitely some perspiration on his face
