What is the difference between sudoriferous and sebaceous glands?

Answer 1

Sebaceous glandscontain groups of specialized epithelial cells and are usually associated with hair follicles and secrete an oily mixture of fatty material and cellular debris called sebum which keeps hair and skin soft, pliable, and waterproof, while

sweat glands are widespread exocrine glands in the dermis or subcutaneous line with sweat secreting epithelial cells
