Mammary glands
The modified sebaceous glands that produce milk are known as mammary glands. These glands are found in mammals and are responsible for secreting milk to nourish their offspring.
The tarsal glands, also known as Meibomian glands, are modified sebaceous glands located along the edges of the eyelids. They secrete an oily substance that helps prevent tear evaporation and keeps the surface of the eye lubricated. These glands can become blocked or infected, leading to conditions such as meibomian gland dysfunction.
Suderiferous glands are also known as sweat glands, while sebaceous glands are commonly referred to as oil glands.
Oil-secreting glands are called sebaceous glands. These glands are typically associated with hair follicles and produce an oily substance known as sebum, which helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair. Sebaceous glands are found throughout the body, especially on the scalp, face, and upper body.
These two glands are found in the skin and are known as exocrine glands because they have a duct through which the substance travels.If they do not have a duct and secrete a substance directly into the blood they are called endocrine glands.

Sebaceous glands, also known as oil glands.
The sebaceous glands are responsible for producing oil, known as sebum, which helps to keep the skin and hair moisturized and protected. These glands are found throughout the body, with a higher concentration on the face and scalp.

Cerumen (earwax) is a mixture of viscous secretions from sebaceous glands and less-viscous ones from modified apocrine sweat glands. See link below for more information.
Most oil glands in the human body are found in the skin, particularly in the face, scalp, chest, and back. These oil glands, also known as sebaceous glands, produce sebum which helps to moisturize and protect the skin.
Glands responsible for lubricating the skin and minimizing water loss are called sebaceous glands. These glands produce an oily substance known as sebum, which helps to keep the skin moisturized and provides a barrier against environmental factors. By preventing excessive water loss, sebaceous glands play a crucial role in maintaining skin health and integrity.
