Most sebaceous glands are on the skin and release oil. There are two types of modified sebaceous glands as well. Mammary glands produce milk, and ceruminous glands in the ear canal produce cerumen, or ear wax.
The glands of the skin, or the integumentary glands, include apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, and sebaceous glands that secrete sebum, or skin oil.
No, sebaceous glands have ducts. They are exocrine glands.

No. Apocrine glands are not sebaceous glands. They are specialized sweat glands.
Sebaceous (oil) glands
The sweat and sebaceous glands are in the dermis, not in the stratum corneum.
The glands of the skin called sebaceous glands produce an oily discharge.
Sebaceous and Sweat glandsadditional information1) Apocrine sweat glands -- a type of human sweat gland that are present in areas such as the axillae (armpits), areola, in the perineum (genital areas), around the belly button and in the external auditory canal(as wax-secreting glands). Specialized types of apocrine glands present on the eyelids are called Moll's glands. Apocrine sweat glands are inactive until they are stimulated by hormonal changes in puberty.2) Holocrine - the sebaceous glands of the skin and the meibomian glands of the eyelid.
The integumentary system contains sebaceous glands.
Sweat and sebaceous glands develop from the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. Specifically, they originate from the ectoderm during embryonic development, with sweat glands arising from invaginations of the epidermal layer and sebaceous glands developing as outgrowths associated with hair follicles. Both gland types play crucial roles in thermoregulation and skin lubrication, respectively.
Hair covered areas on your body are most likely to contain sebaceous glands.
