Sudoriferous glands are sweat producing glands. These are important to help maintain body temperature. Sebaceous glands are oil producing glands which help inhibit bacteria, keep us waterproof and prevent our hair and skin from drying out. The hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous (oil) glands and apocrine glands develop from the epidermal cells, but their deeper parts extend into the dermis. The glands open onto the surface of the skin via small ducts. Hair grows from the hair follicle, which is found in all skin except the palms and soles. Sweat glands are located deep within the skin and primarily regulate temperature. The two main types of sweat glands are eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands. Eccrine sweat glands are smaller sweat glands. They are coiled tubular glands that discharge their secretions directly onto the surface of the skin.
