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 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.
The deepest and most active division of the skin is called the dermis. It contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and sweat glands, playing a critical role in supporting and nourishing the skin.
