Sweat glands are connected to hair follicles.
Sweat and oil.
The sweat glands associated with hair are called apocrine glands. These glands produce a thicker, more odorous sweat that is released through hair follicles. They are primarily located in areas with dense hair follicles, such as the scalp, armpits, and groin.
Skin contains sweat glands and sebaceous glands and hair follicles.
Skin glands do not include hair follicles, as they are not classified as glands. Instead, skin glands typically refer to structures such as sweat glands (eccrine and apocrine) and sebaceous glands, which secrete sweat and oil, respectively. Hair follicles are responsible for hair growth and are associated with sebaceous glands but do not function as glands themselves.
The integumentary system contains sebaceous glands.
Only Apocrine sweat glands are found in the axilla and anal region. The glands connect to hair follicles and are the sweat that produces odour) Eccrine sweat glands are found all over the body and open onto the skin. Sebaceous sweat glands are found all over the skin (with the exception of our palms and soles) and are connected to hair follicles.

The glands located on the palm of the hand are primarily sweat glands, specifically eccrine glands. These glands produce sweat to help regulate body temperature and keep the skin moist. Additionally, there are sebaceous glands associated with hair follicles, but they are less prominent on the palms since they have fewer hair follicles compared to other areas of the body.

The apocrine sweat glands are responsible for producing stinky sweat. These glands are found in areas with a high concentration of hair follicles, such as the armpits and groin. Unlike eccrine sweat glands, which produce a watery sweat that is mostly odorless, apocrine glands secrete a thicker sweat that interacts with bacteria on the skin's surface, leading to body odor.
