No. Apocrine glands are not sebaceous glands. They are specialized sweat glands.
Eccrine glands are the most abundant sweat glands and they are also over your body and function throughout your lifetime.
Apocrine glands which are sweat or sudoriferous glands not sebaceous
Apocrine sweat glands
In humans, apocrine and merocrine sweat glands form the primary method of cooling.
The apocrine sweat glands become active during puberty. They release a sweat that is very oily. This oil is degraded by bacteria that is normally present on the skin and gives off the typical "sweaty smell".
There is no way to know the exact number of sweat glands that become more active in puberty. There are two types of sweat glands, eccrine and apocrine. The eccrine sweat glands are for cooling the body and are active your entire life and are located just about all over your body. The apocrine sweat glands are the ones that occur in places like your arm pits, crotch, and peri-anal areas. They are the one that increase their secretions after the onset of puberty.
Both endocrine and apocrine sweat glands are found in the armpit. Apocrine sweat glands are found almost everywhere, while endocrine glands are found in the genetial region and the auxillary region.
Apocrine (sweat glands are apocrine glands!/in axillary and genital areas)
The skin of humans has two basic types of glands, sweat glands (sudoriferous) and oil glands (sebacious). The sweat glands come in two varieties, the eccrine glands produce sweat all over our bodies, but the apocrine glands only become active during puberty and give us body odor. These aromatic apocrine glands are concentrated in the armpits and the genital regions.i dont know lol plzzz someone answer this question
Eccrine and apocrine sweat glands are both referred to as sudoriferous glands. The eccrine glands are found all over the body and function throughout your life. Apocrine glands develop during puberty and are most active throughout adulthood and are located in the armpits, areolar, genital, and anal areas. They are also the ones responsible for what we refer to as body odor. It is not the sweat that actually has to odor, but the bacteria that it attracts excretes its wastes as it digests the sweat. It is the bacteria's waste products that actually have the odor. So, you could say, you do not have body odor. Instead, you have bacteria odor.

apocrine (sweat) glands
These glands produce a fluid that mixes with sebum.
Apocrine sweat glands are inactive until they are stimulated by hormonal changes in puberty. Apocrine sweat glands are mainly thought to function as olfactory pheromones, chemicals important in attracting a potential mate. The stimulus for the secretion of apocrine sweat glands is adrenaline, which is a hormone carried in the blood.According to another suggestion, apocrine sweat glands were developed in the earliest period of human evolution via natural selection as a means of defence from predators as a warning signal, and that is why these glands are activated in the moments of emotional or physical stress.
