Sudoriferous glands are also known as sweat glands. There are two kinds of sudoriferous glands: apocrine and eccrine. Apocrine glands are really modified scent glands and are most numerous in the axillae and genital area; they are activated by stress and emotions. Eccrine glands are found throughout the dermis but are most numerous on the face, palms, and soles. Modified sweat glands called ceruminous glands are found in the dermis of the ear canals. Their secretion is called cerumen or earwax. Sebaceous glands secrete a lipid substance. Melanocytes produce melanin.
